1. B
Functional behavior assessments identify environmental variables influencing behavior.

2. B
BST aligns with adult learning: instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback.

3. B
Observation identifies the real performance error.

4. B
Interval recording works best for high-frequency, hard-to-count behavior.

5. A
Completing the task personally ensures step accuracy.

6. A
IOA evaluates observer consistency and detects drift.

7. C
Training must be observable, measurable, and behavior-based.

8. C
Skills must increase independence and quality of life.

9. C
Most-to-least prompting minimizes errors early in learning.

10. C
BCaBAs must operate under BCBA supervision.

11. B
Performance outcomes show whether training worked.

12. B
BST = instruction, modeling, rehearsal, feedback.

13. B
Understanding cultural norms is the first step.

14. B
Phase changes use labeled vertical lines.

15. C
Operational definitions and mastery criteria are required.

16. B
Functional relationships require data showing predictable behavior change.

17. B
Shaping reinforces successive approximations.

18. B
Direct observation with a fidelity checklist ensures accuracy.

19. B
BCaBAs must follow BACB Code and supervision rules.

20. C
Generalization occurs across people, settings, materials.

21. B
Preference assessments identify potential reinforcers.

22. C
Confidentiality is required by law and ethics.

23. B
Immediate, specific feedback is best for mentoring.

24. B
Baseline allows comparison to intervention data.

25. A
Treatment integrity = correct implementation.

26. A
Reliability = consistent results across time and observers.

27. B
Active participation boosts learner engagement.

28. B
Ethical practice prioritizes reinforcement strategies first.

29. C
Treatment changes must be data-driven.

30. B
Goals must be observable, measurable, attainable.

31. A
Reinforcer assessments verify behavior increases.

32. A
Best feedback is immediate and specific.

33. B
Assessment must guide curriculum development.

34. A
Demonstration plus guided practice with feedback ensures caregiver competency in DTT.

35. B
Comparing baseline and current performance data provides an objective measure of effectiveness.

36. A
Immediate corrective feedback ensures errors are addressed and prevents reinforcement of incorrect procedures.
