95) Tanja brings her staff to an escape room as a team building exercise. One of
the puzzles in the escape room requires all members of the team to answer a

Dependent
None of the above
96) On the first day of beauty school, the lead instructor tells her class that they
must keep their stations spotless at all times. This means they need to clean
and sanitize everything at the end of the day before leaving for the night. No
direct reinforcement is ever given for doing this, but the students still keep
their stations clean. This demonstrates ______?
Rule governed behavior
Contingency shaped behavior
Automatic reinforcement
Respondent conditioning
97) Bruce gets a call from his wife telling him that she just hit someone's car in
the grocery store parking lot. She said there is some damage and that she is
going to exchange information. Bruce starts to feel angry about the fact that
this is going to cost a lot of money. Bruce's anger would not be considered a
______ from a radical behaviorism perspective.
Behavior
Public event
Private event
Part of our analysis of behavior
98) A teacher implements a behavior intervention to reduce off-task behavior in
three different classroom activities: math, reading, and group work. Data is
collected continuously, but the intervention is first introduced during math
lessons, then later in reading, and finally in group work. The intervention is not
removed once introduced. What type of design is the teacher using?
Reversal design
Multielement design
Multiple baseline design
Changing criterion design
99) Alex typically only drinks tequila when watching his favorite team on Saturday,
but, today, after seeing some of his friends drink beer, he decides that he is
going to have a beer instead of tequila today. Seeing his friends drink beer
acts as a _______.
Discriminative stimulus
Reinforcer
Prompt
Motivating operation
Which of the following areas of behavior analysis focuses on basic research that adds to the body of knowledge about behavior?
Applied behavior analysis.
Experimental analysis of behavior.
Conceptual analysis of behavior.
Behavioral services delivery.
100) Lori decides that she is going to smile at her husband whenever he takes out
the trash or washes the dishes without her asking. Lori never tells her
husband about this change, but, over time, Lori's husband is taking out the
trash and washing the dishes on a much more frequent basis. What specific
idea is associated with the fact Lori did not tell her husband what she was
doing?
Contingencies
Positive reinforcement
Automaticity
Contiguity
102) Following the introduction of a behavior intervention plan, data show that
tantrum behavior has decreased dramatically as more and more punishment
was delivered. The analysis determines that other behaviors persisted
instead of tantrums because of reinforcement from the environment. What
assumption best explains this situation?
Determinism
Empiricism
Selectionism
Parsimony
103) An italian grandma is showing her new daughter-in-law how to make her
special tomato sauce. The grandma tells the daughter that after she adds the
garlic that she needs to add the next ingredients in 30 seconds or less or the
garlic will burn. What is demonstrated in this scenario?
Forward chaining
Backwards chaining
An interruption strategy
Limited hold
104) Lauren counts to three and then sends her son to timeout when he does not
comply with her directions at home. This reduces his non-compliance. Today,
Lauren started to count to three in Target and her son's refusal to comply
stopped immediately. Counting is considered a _____?
Automatic punisher
Conditioned punisher
Unconditioned punisher
Negative punisher
105) Which of the following is not true about an evocative effect?
An evocative effect increases the likelihood of future behavior
An evocative effect increases the likelihood of current behavior
An evocative effect is typically associated with an establishing operation
An evocative effect is an antecedent to a response
108) A reinforcement schedule is used for completing math worksheets. The
learner receives a reward every 15 minutes, but usually starts slowly in the
beginning and then speeds up near the end of the 15 minutes. What is
described in this scenario?
A concurrent behavior
A scallop effect
Variable interval responding
Fixed ratio responding
109) A soccer team is deciding who should take the final shot of the game. If final
shot is a goal then the team wins. After debating between Greg and Lucas,
the team decides that Lucas should take the shot solely because he has three
more goals than Greg on the season. What assumption is demonstrated by
the teams' decision?
Selectionism
Pragmatism
Parsimony
Determinism
A BCBA has a client who is not making progress with the current behavior intervention plan. The BCBA is unsure the next steps to take to modify the BIP. According to the Ethics Code, what should the BCBA do in this situation?
Continue with the current BIP and wait for the client to make progress.
Consult with other professionals to determine the appropriate next steps.
Discontinue services with the client.
Modify the BIP without consulting with anyone else.
110) Control, in terms of being a goal of behavior analysis as a science, is most
related to which of the following?
Internal validity
Functional relationship
Experimental control
All of the above
111) A parent asks their child to complete a series of tasks such as putting away a
toy and closing their door, both of which the child does regularly without
resistance. After completing these tasks, the parent then asks the child to
clean their room, a task the child usually avoids. The child is more likely to
clean their room after completing the simpler tasks. What concept is being
applied in this scenario?
Behavior momentum
Behavior progression
Behavior chaining
Stimulus fading
112) During a functional behavior assessment, Tommy gathers data through direct
observation of the learner’s behavior in different classroom settings, focusing
only on measurable events and avoiding subjective interpretations. This
approach reflects which philosophical assumption?
Empiricism
Pragmatism
Determinism
Selectionism
113) As soon as Ms. Tina believes one of her singing lesson students have
mastered a song in class she makes them go out and sing the song in front
of three different people. Ms. Tina believes the feedback from these people is
essential for the student's learned singing behavior. What is Ms. Tina using in her strategy?
General case analysis
Indiscriminable contingencies
Training loosely
Natural contingencies
Which of the following is a factor that can affect the validity of a functional analysis (FA)?
The use of a single setting for the analysis.
The use of multiple participants for the analysis.
The use of a latency-based measurement system.
The use of a restricted range of antecedent stimuli.
Over time, the IOA between two observers gets better because they have come to an unspoken understanding of how to score topographies of the behavior, which is different from the operational definition. This is known as:
Expectancy.
Observer drift.
Reactivity.
B & C.
