#3
What does the acronym 'ABA' stand for in the context of behavioral therapy?
Advanced Behavioral Assessment

#4
In ABA, what is the term for using a preferred item or activity to reinforce a desired behavior?
Positive Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Positive Reinforcement
Negative Punishment
#5
Which of the following is NOT a common characteristic of behaviors targeted for modification in ABA?
Measurable
Observable
Subjective
Definable
#6
Which of the following is a primary focus of Behavioral Therapy within ABA?
Examining unconscious conflicts
Exploring early childhood experiences
Modifying observable behaviors
Improving insight into emotions
#7
What is the primary goal of using shaping as a technique in ABA?
To eliminate unwanted behaviors through punishment
To reinforce behaviors that are successively closer to the target behavior
To provide immediate consequences for behavior
To systematically extinguish undesirable behaviors
#8
In ABA, what is the term used to describe the process of gradually reducing reinforcement for a behavior until it no longer occurs?
Positive Reinforcement
Extinction
Punishment
Generalization
#9
Which of the following is a common strategy in ABA for increasing the frequency of a desired behavior?
Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Prompting
Overcorrection
#10
What is a primary focus of Functional Behavioral Assessment (FBA) in ABA?
Identifying physiological causes of behavior
Analyzing family dynamics
Understanding the function of behavior
Exploring past traumas
#11
What is a primary difference between classical conditioning and operant conditioning?
Classical conditioning focuses on voluntary behaviors, while operant conditioning focuses on involuntary responses.
Classical conditioning involves reinforcement, while operant conditioning involves punishment.
In classical conditioning, the learner's behavior influences the outcome, while in operant conditioning, the outcome influences the learner's behavior.
In classical conditioning, behaviors are strengthened through reinforcement, while in operant conditioning, behaviors are paired with stimuli.
#12
What is the primary goal of differential reinforcement in ABA?
To reinforce any behavior regardless of its occurrence
To reinforce a specific behavior while extinguishing a similar behavior
To provide reinforcement intermittently to maintain behavior
To punish undesirable behaviors consistently
#13
Which ABA technique involves breaking a task into smaller, more manageable steps to teach complex skills?
Chaining
Flooding
Observational Learning
Counterconditioning
#14
What term in ABA refers to the process of reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior until the desired behavior is achieved?
Behavioral Modification
Reinforcement Schedules
Shaping
Punishment Hierarchy
#15
Which ABA technique involves teaching a desired behavior by demonstrating it in front of the learner?
Modeling
Time-Out
Response Cost
Fixed-Interval Reinforcement
#16
Which ABA technique involves systematically exposing an individual to a feared stimulus while preventing avoidance?
Positive Punishment
Negative Reinforcement
Flooding
Systematic Desensitization
#17
What is the primary aim of implementing a token economy system in ABA?
To punish undesirable behaviors
To provide immediate consequences for behavior
To reinforce target behaviors with tokens that can be exchanged for desired rewards
To extinguish unwanted behaviors through flooding
#18
Which ABA technique involves teaching a new behavior by reinforcing successive approximations toward the desired behavior?
Extinction
Generalization
Chaining
Shaping
