BACB BCABA Exam - Topic 6 Question 68 Discussion

Actual exam question for BACB's BCABA exam

Question #: 68
Topic #: 6

Carlos participated in a toothbrushing skill acquisition program. When he started the program, he needed physical assistance to perform each step. After two weeks, he met all objectives and was able to complete each step independently. The program involved the use of graduated guidance, praise, and token reinforcement. In the future, the behavior analyst would like to examine which procedures made the program most effective (i.e., guidance, praise, or token reinforcement). To determine this, the behavior analyst could use a

Acomponent analysis.

Bdiscriminant analysis.

Cnonparametric analysis.

Dparametric analysis.

I feel confident that component analysis is the answer since it focuses on breaking down the effectiveness of each procedure.

I'm a bit confused about the differences between component and discriminant analysis. I hope I picked the right one!

I think component analysis is what we used in a similar practice question about reinforcement strategies. It makes sense here too.

I remember discussing component analysis in class, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the right term for this situation.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Is it asking about the technology to establish the federated architecture, or the technology to expose the data models? I'll need to re-read it carefully.

Hmm, this looks like a question on regression analysis. I'll need to carefully review the output and think about how to interpret the R-squared value.

This seems like a straightforward question about the Adjust Cost -- Item Entries batch job in Dynamics 365 Business Central. I'll need to carefully review the options and select the three primary purposes of this batch job.

Nonparametric analysis? Really? That's like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut. Definitely go with the component analysis, keep it simple.

Haha, parametric analysis? What is this, a math exam? Nah, gotta be the component analysis to figure out which technique worked best.

I'm not sure about this one. Discriminant analysis seems a bit overkill for this situation. Wouldn't a simple comparison of the procedures be enough?

A component analysis sounds like the way to go here. That way they can isolate the effects of each procedure and see which one was the most impactful.
