#5
What does the term 'stimulus control' refer to in ABA?
The control of external influences on behavior

#7
What is the primary focus of functional behavior assessment (FBA) in ABA?
Analyzing the function or purpose of behavior
Analyzing the frequency of behavior
Analyzing the intensity of behavior
Analyzing the duration of behavior
#8
Which of the following is an example of a positive reinforcement in ABA?
Adding an aversive stimulus to decrease behavior
Removing a pleasant stimulus to decrease behavior

Removing an aversive stimulus to increase behavior
#9
What is the term used in ABA to describe the consistent application of reinforcement after each occurrence of a target behavior?
Intermittent reinforcement
Continuous reinforcement
Partial reinforcement
Variable reinforcement
#10
What does the term 'generalization' refer to in ABA?
The tendency for behavior to occur in certain situations but not in others

#11
Which of the following is NOT a type of prompt commonly used in ABA?

Visual prompt
#12
In ABA, what does the term 'prompting' refer to?
The gradual removal of reinforcement
The process of reinforcing successive approximations of a target behavior
The use of additional cues or assistance to facilitate the occurrence of a desired behavior
The process of pairing an unconditioned stimulus with a conditioned stimulus
#13
In ABA, what does 'shaping' refer to?
The process of reinforcing any behavior except the target behavior
The process of gradually refining a target behavior by reinforcing successive approximations
The process of ignoring all behaviors except the target behavior
The process of using punishment to decrease undesirable behavior
#14
Which of the following best describes the term 'chaining' in ABA?
Breaking down complex behaviors into smaller, manageable components
Reinforcing multiple behaviors simultaneously
Reinforcing behaviors that are unrelated to each other
Linking individual behaviors together to form a complex behavior sequence
#15
What does 'functional relation' mean in the context of ABA?
The relationship between behavior and environmental stimuli
The relationship between behavior and genetic predisposition
The relationship between behavior and past experiences
The relationship between behavior and physiological states
#16
What is a critical component of a behavior intervention plan (BIP) in ABA?
Conducting a functional behavior assessment
Implementing punishment procedures
