Bcba Exam Prep - Aba Terms

Front 1

A-B-A Design

Back 1

An experiment entailing one reversal

Front 2

A-B-A-B Design

Back 2

An experiment reintroducing the B condition enables the replication of treatment effects, which strengthens the demonstration of experimental control

Front 3

Abative Effect

Back 3

A decrease in the current frequency of behaviour that has been reinforced by the stimulus that is increased in reinforcing effectiveness by the same motivating operation

Front 4

ABC recording

Back 4

The preferred method to use for behavioural assessment to determine which behaviour to target for change is

Front 5

Abolishing operation

Back 5

A motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus, object, or event.

Front 6

Accuracy

Back 6

The extent to which observed values, the data produced by measuring an event, match the true state, or true values, of the event as it exists in nature

Front 7

Adjunctive Behavior

Back 7

Behaviour that occurs as a collateral effect of a schedule of periodic reinforcement for other behaviour: time-filling or interim activities that are induced by schedules of reinforcement during times when reinforcement is unlikely to be derived-aka schedule-induced behaviour

Front 8

Affirmation of the Consequent

Back 8

The predictive power of steady state responding enables the behaviour analyst to employ a kind of inductive logic

Front 9

Alternating Treatments Design

Back 9

The rapid alternation of two or more distinct treatments while their effects on the target behaviour are measured

Front 10

Alternative schedule

Back 10

Provides positive reinforcement whenever the requirement of either a ratio schedule or interval schedule is met, regardless of which of the component schedule's requirement is met first.
