BCBA Sect. A & H Que

BCBA Section A & H Practice Questions

QuestionAnswer
What is the product of measurement? Data
What's the hallmark of ABA? Data
What is an example of Repeatability? Frequency
What is an example of Temporal Extent? Duration
What is an example of Temporal Locus? When the behavior occurs
When can free operant behavior be emitted? At any time
How is temporal contguity important in a discrete trial? A-B-C should occur closely in time so learner can discriminate easier.
Should inter-trial intervals be a long or short period of time? Short because then the learner meets reinforcement faster.
What is an example of magnitude in a classroom? Voice volume (no voice, partner voice, playground voice)
The shorter the interval, the lesser the _________________. Artifact
What is an example of direct measurement? ABC data
What is an example of indirect measurement? Questionnaires, rating scales, interviews,
Which level of scientific investigation does indirect measurement satisfy? None because no observation is occurring.
What are the levels of indirect measurement? DPC: Description, Prediction and Control
What are some examples of continuous measurement? Frequency, duration
Which discontinuous measurement procedure requires you to observe continuously? Whole Interval
What are some examples of discontinuous measurement? Partial Interval, Whole Interval, Momentary Time Sampling
A BCBA is measuring the time it takes for a child to say, "I'm good" after the teacher says, "How are you?" The BCBA is measuring ___________________________. Latency
What is the best method for measuring crying behavior? Duration
Ms. Smith wants to know how many times Johnny leaves his seat without permission during her Math lesson. What kind of measurement collection should she use? Frequency
A teacher wants to measure how many times Bill engages in contextually inappropriate behavior of a physical nature (aggression) per day. What measurement collection should she use? Rate
Mr. Jones is tracking how often and at what specific times Stella engages in screaming behavior. What should he use? Scatterplot
A teacher assistant in the mainstream classroom needs to collect on-task data for 5 students during a reading lesson. What type of measurement collection would be the best for her to use? Duration
Sarah's mom wants to know if she makes the bed every day before she leaves for school. What would be the easiest way to measure this behavior? Permanent Product
Combining observation time with count results in a measure of Frequency
When measuring a free operant behavior, the best measure to use is Rate
T/F: Neither reliability or validity assess the quality of measurement. False=They both do
T/F: Exact Count Per Interval is the least stringent form of recording IOA. False
T/F: Measures of count alone provide sufficient information for analysis. False
T/F: Interresponse time and response latency are both measures of temporal locus. True
The observer needs to record multiple behaviors of multiple students at one time. Which measurement would be the best one you should use? Time Sampling
Ms. Jones is recording data on the amount of times Jenny correctly identifies the letter in the alphabet expressively while playing a letter game where the same letters come up multiple times. Wge data collection would be the best? Percent of Occurrence
Luke engages in tantrum behavior multiple times throughout the day and during a variety of different activities. His teacher said there is no pattern of his behavior and it just happens 'randomly.' What graph would be the best method to show this? Scatterplot
T/F: Validity is the most important quality to consider in the preparation and use of assessment procedures. True
T/F: Mrs. Summers wanted to know how many times John raised his hand without calling out during class. A TA's to collected data. After the period was over, Ms. Summers analyzed the data and was reported the he raised his 5 times. This shows validity. False=She asked for both raised hand and no shouting
