BAS Program Development and Implementation 3

Question 1

Which of the following is the PRIMARY purpose of a treatment integrity (fidelity) assessment in program implementation?

Accepted Answer

To determine whether the intervention is being implemented as designed

Answer

Treatment integrity assessment verifies that the intervention is being delivered as intended, which is necessary before attributing outcome changes to the program itself.

Question 2

A BAS wants to promote skill generalization across settings. Which strategy is MOST effective according to ABA research?

Accepted Answer

Programming common stimuli across training and generalization settings

Answer

Programming common stimuli by incorporating elements present in the natural environment into training increases the likelihood of generalization to those settings.

Question 3

When developing a behavior intervention plan for a client engaging in aggression, which documentation element is legally and ethically required in most US states?

Accepted Answer

A signed informed consent from the client or legal guardian before implementation

Answer

Informed consent from the client or their legal guardian is an ethical and typically legal requirement before implementing any behavior intervention, especially one involving restrictive procedures.

Question 4

Which of the following describes 'stimulus control' as it applies to ABA skill programming?

Accepted Answer

A behavior occurs reliably in the presence of specific antecedent stimuli due to a history of differential reinforcement

Answer

Stimulus control is established when a behavior occurs reliably in the presence of a specific SD and not in its absence, resulting from differential reinforcement of responding.

Question 5

A BAS is selecting between two evidence-based interventions for a client. Both are supported by research, but one has stronger evidence for the specific population. According to BACB ethical guidelines, which should the supervisor recommend?

Accepted Answer

The intervention with the strongest evidence for the client's specific characteristics and needs

Answer

BACB ethics require supervisors to recommend interventions with the most appropriate and robust evidence base for the specific client, balancing scientific support with individualized needs.
