Sample Behavior Assessment questions

  1. Question 1 · Behavior Assessment

    After running a multiple stimulus without replacement assessment across an array of six items, what does the order in which the client selected items tell the team?

    1. A. A ranked hierarchy of the client's relative preference for the items
    2. B. Which items are confirmed to function as reinforcers for behavior
    3. C. The exact percentage of session time the client will engage with each item
    4. D. Which items should be permanently removed from the client's environment
    Show the answer

    A. A ranked hierarchy of the client's relative preference for the items

    The selection order in a multiple stimulus without replacement assessment produces a ranked hierarchy showing relative preference, from most to least preferred. It identifies likely reinforcers to test further, but selection order alone does not confirm an item actually functions as a reinforcer.

  2. Question 2 · Behavior Assessment

    What is the main purpose of a curriculum-based assessment in a client's ABA program?

    1. A. To compare the client's overall development with same-age peers across every domain
    2. B. To find which skills in the teaching sequence the client has and has not mastered
    3. C. To identify the function of the client's problem behavior
    4. D. To rank the client's preferred items from most to least preferred
    Show the answer

    B. To find which skills in the teaching sequence the client has and has not mastered

    A curriculum-based assessment maps the client's current skills onto a structured teaching sequence, showing which skills are mastered and which should be targeted next. Comparing the client with same-age peers describes a developmental assessment instead.

  3. Question 3 · Behavior Assessment

    After collecting several days of ABC data, the team notices the client's aggression is almost always followed by staff attention. What does this pattern provide?

    1. A. A confirmed, experimentally tested function of the client's aggressive behavior
    2. B. A hypothesis about a possible function that may need further testing
    3. C. A finished behavior-change plan ready for the RBT to implement
    4. D. A guarantee that attention is not related to the behavior
    Show the answer

    B. A hypothesis about a possible function that may need further testing

    Descriptive data show a correlation between attention and aggression, which generates a hypothesis about a likely function, but it does not experimentally confirm that attention is actually maintaining the behavior. Confirming a hypothesis usually requires a more controlled procedure such as a functional analysis.
