Q

4 methodologies of EAB

A

Direct, repeated measurement of behavior

Rate of response as the basic datum, instead of number of errors or percent

Visual inference (graphing) instead of statistical inference

Within subject comparisons instead of group designs

Q

ABA v. ABA practice

A

Many say if it is ABA then it meets the criteria for all seven dimensions

ABA is applied research or, at least, rigorous program evaluation

ABA more rigorous, more analytic

Q

Sandra is teaching echoics using a validated procedure. Her client is learning rapidly and Sandra is very happy with the results of her teaching. She does not try to demonstrate experimental control by using a multiple baseline design or any other method. Sandra is engaging in:

A

ABA practice

22
Q

True or false

Diagnosis is an application of ABA.

A

False

23
Q

7 dimensions of ABA

A 
Applied 
Behavioral
Analytic
Technological
Effective
Conceptually Systematic
Generality (GET A CAB)
24
Q

dimension of ABA:

socially significant

A

applied

25
Q

dimension of ABA:

behavior is focus, not a symptom!

A

behavioral

26
Q

dimension of ABA:

Systematic manipulation

A

analytic

27
Q

dimension of ABA:

provide detailed written descriptions of our procedures so they can be implemented accurately and replicated by others

A

technological

28
Q

dimension of ABA:

“If it doesn’t work, change it!” or, “Let your data be your guide!”

A

effective

29
Q

dimension of ABA:

consistent with fundamental principles of behavior

A

conceptually systematic

30
Q

dimension of ABA:

works for more than a few!

A

generality

31
Q

analytic vs effective

A

Both are characterized by use of data and graphs, but….

ANALYTIC focuses on using these analytic tools and systematic manipulation to ESTABLISH FUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIPS

EFFECTIVE focuses on using analytic tools to ADJUST TREATMENT as needed

32
Q

true or false

Empiricism is one of the 7 dimensions of ABA.

A

false

33
Q

When writing my behavior plan, I make sure to list all the procedures precisely and with enough detail so that anyone can implement the plan. Thus ABA is:

A

technological

34
Q

Rather than focusing on Luke’s “issues” with his father through many counseling sessions, I work with him on manding for attention to replace aggressive behavior. Thus ABA is:

A

behavioral

35
Q

While teaching tacts, I make sure to exclude items such as a VHS and a tape player because the client is unlikely to contact these items in the natural environment. Thus ABA is:

A

applied

36
Q

While implementing my behavior plan, I take data, graph it, and discover that the deceleration data are not decreasing, so I change some components of the plan, then take data and see that decel data do decrease. This exemplifies which dimension:

A

effective

37
Q

I conduct several observations and manipulate antecedent conditions in order to hypothesize a function for the behavior. Thus ABA is:

A

analytic

38
Q

I make sure to teach John how to ask for help in different settings, with different people, so that he is now able to ask for help whenever he needs it. This demonstrates which dimension?

A

generality

39
Q

Mrs. Simpson wants Bart to stop watching violent shows on television, so I suggest giving attention, praise, and snacks contingent on watching appropriate shows, based on what I know about positive reinforcement. Thus ABA is:

A

conceptually systematic

40
Q

Past and current behavior is explained as a function of environmental contingencies

The processes involved are variation and selection at the operant and cultural levels

A

Environmental Explanations

41
Q

Refer to hypothetical constructs from a dimension that is inferred to be inside the organism
“Mental”, cognitive, spiritual, subjective
Rely on circular reasoning
Include traits (lazy, shy), states (angry), attitudes (pro-choice), diagnostic categories (ADHD)

A

mentalistic explanations

42
Q

Future events, mistakenly, are used to explain behavior.
In order to…
Trying to get…
He will…

A

teleological explanations

43
Q

types of explanatory fictions

A

mentalistic and teleological

44
Q

Examples of Other
Hypothetical Constructs

A 
Expectancies
Knowing
Understanding
Memory
Processing
Self-control
Will power
45
Q

Which of the following is not a type of explanatory fiction?

Teleological explanation
Mentalism/Hypothetical construct
Circular explanation
None; all are types of explanatory fictions

A

NONE

46
Q

Which of the following is an explanatory fiction?
 X = John does no work because he is lazy
 Y = Miguel works because in the past it has resulted in money

A

X

47
Q

Explanatory Fiction or
Environmental Explanation

He can’t sit still because he has ADHD.

A

explanatory fiction

48
Q

Explanatory Fiction or
Environmental Explanation

He doesn’t stay in his seat because in the past he has gotten out of class-work when he has been out of his seat.

A

Environmental Explanation

49
Q

Explanatory Fiction or
Environmental Explanation

The rat pressed the lever when the light came on because he has done many trials where food has only been available when the light is on.

A

Environmental Explanation

50
Q

Explanatory Fiction or
Environmental Explanation

The rat presses the lever when the light comes on because he knows food is available only when the light is on.

A

Explanatory Fiction

51
Q

All of the following are determinants of behavior except:

Past environmental events
Current environmental events
Genetics and organic variables
The reinforcer that will be delivered
No exception: All are determinants of behavior
