Test your behavior assessment skills. Let’s break down a BCBA® mock exam question about functional analysis (FA) including its role in testing for the escape function of behavior.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section F-8: Conduct a functional analysis of problem behavior.
PTB founder Dana Meller reviews and breaks down in detail a BCBA® mock exam question about different chaining methods in behavior analysis.
PTB co-founder Dana Meller reviews a BCBA® mock exam question that targets the essential aspects of imitation training, breaking down the four defining features of successful imitation and how these elements contribute to effective learning and skill acquisition.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section G-5: Use modeling and imitation training.
PTB founder Dana Meller breaks down a BCBA® mock exam question about baseline logic for a multiple baseline design across behaviors. Dana explains the significance of replication in providing more convincing evidence of a functional relationship and how to make scientific justifications using baseline logic in various designs.
PTB co-founder Dana Meller breaks down a BCBA® mock exam question that explores the difference between measurement confounds and subject confounds, how they relate to threats to internal validity in ABA research.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-2: Distinguish between internal and external validity.
