β˜•πŸ§  Daily BCBA Practice Question

A client eats a very salty lunch, and afterward requests water far more often than usual. Drinking water is also more reinforcing at that moment. Which term best describes the salty lunch in relation to water?

A. Discriminative stimulus (SD)
B. Establishing operation (EO)
C. Abolishing operation (AO)
D. Conditioned punisher

πŸ‘‡ Scroll for the answer πŸ‘‡


Answer: B
An establishing operation momentarily increases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus (water) and evokes behavior that has produced it in the past. An SD signals availability of reinforcement but does not change its value (Cooper et al., 3rd ed.).

β˜•πŸ§  Daily BCBA Practice Question

A teacher delivers a token to a student at the end of every 5-minute interval in which the student did not hit anyone. If hitting occurs, the timer resets. Which procedure is the teacher using?

A. Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
B. Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO)
C. Differential reinforcement of low rates (DRL)
D. Noncontingent reinforcement (NCR)

πŸ‘‡ Scroll for the answer πŸ‘‡


Answer: B
DRO delivers reinforcement when the target behavior has not occurred for a specified interval, and the timer resets after each occurrence. Reinforcement is contingent on the absence of hitting, not on a specific alternative response or on time alone (Cooper et al., 3rd ed.).

β˜•πŸ§  Daily BCBA Practice Question

A behavior analyst assumes that a client's disruptive behavior is not random but results from identifiable environmental variables, so she begins by looking for the events that reliably precede and follow it. Which philosophical assumption of science does this reflect?

A. Determinism
B. Parsimony
C. Philosophic doubt
D. Mentalism

πŸ‘‡ Scroll for the answer πŸ‘‡


Answer: A
Determinism is the assumption that the universe is lawful and that events occur because of functional relations with other events, which is why behavior analysts search for the environmental variables controlling behavior (Cooper et al., 3rd ed.).
