Q

ABC Observations are designed to capture information on what?

A

the stimuli changes occurring right before, during, and after an event

19
Q

what is meant by event or episodic recording?

A

data is collected only when a behavior occurs

20
Q

what is a typical antecedent category associated with the consequence of escape?

A

demands were placed

21
Q

what is a typical antecedent category associated with consequences of attention?

A

adult was present but not providing attention

22
Q

what is the typical antecedent category associated with consequence of tangible?

A

told no to object

23
Q

what is a typical antecedent category associated with consequence of automatic?

A

no one was in the room

24
Q

what is meant by agreement between antecedents and consequences?

A

the antecedent and the consequence are both associated with the same categorical function

25
Q

which best describes a continuous ABC observation?

A

information on antecedents and consequences are recorded for both occurrences and non-occurrences of behavior

26
Q

anecdotal ABC recordings are best used when…

A

the behaviors and contexts are variable or as of yet unknown

27
Q

ABC checklists are best used when…

A

behaviors and contexts are likely to fit predictable categories

28
Q

which is not a reason to observe a context in which behavior is unlikely to occur?

A

no information can be gained from such an observation

29
Q

one drawback to using a checklist is that…

A

data collected may lack significant detail relating to the specifics of an event

30
Q

coding ABC data refers to…

A

recording data in a manner that quantitative analysis can be conducted

31
Q

what type of analysis is not typically conducted based on episodic ABC data?

A

contingency space analysis

32
Q

which best describes a conditional probability

A

the likelihood of one event occurring given another event

33
Q

CSA stands for?

A

contingency space analysis

34
Q

which of the following is the calculation for a conditional probability?

A

the number of occurrences in which both A & B occurred together divided by the number of occurrences of B

35
Q

when evaluating conditional probabilities, the consequences which occurs most often is usually considered to be…

A

the most likely to be maintaining the behavior

36
Q

which category of consequence is usually associated with automatic sensory reinforcement?

A

no change in the environment

37
Q

why should caution be used when interpreting attention as the maintaining function when using conditional probabilities?

A

verbal attention is often given regardless of functionality

38
Q

when conducting a CSA, which conditional probability is shown on the Y axis?

A

the CP of the consequence with the behavior

39
Q

if the conditional probability of one behavior occurring at the same time as another behavior is very high, what might this indicate?

A

the behavior occurs in a chain

40
Q

which of the following is a disadvantage of CSAs?

A

interpretation of CSAs require knowing is the behaviors occurred frequently or infrequently

41
Q

which assessment acronym refers to the variety of strategies designed to collect information about a behavior and to determine what variables in the environment maybe used to influence the behavior.

A

FBA

42
Q

indirect observation should be skipped if direct observation is available?

A

False

43
Q

indirect observation strategies should never conducted with the individual requiring ABA.

A

false
