BACB BCBA Exam - Topic 3 Question 92 Discussion

Jamie frequently falls to the floor and screams at school. Preliminary behavioral assessment data indicate that his tantrums are maintained by attention and escape from demand situations. Jamie's behavior analyst wants to examine precisely how attention and escape conditions affect these behaviors. The behavior analyst does not want to conduct the analysis in Jamie's classroom because she would not be able to control for potentially important factors. Relating to this scenario, which statement is TRUE?
A) Analyses that involve experimental conditions are almost always conducted in the person's natural environment.
B) The behavior analyst could conduct the analysis in a vacant classroom, but the generality of the findings is an issue to be considered.
C) The behavior analyst should conduct detailed interviews with the teacher and school staff to determine functional relations.
D) Only if the analysis is conducted in Jamie's classroom can a reasonable hypothesis be generated.

I thought C was important too, but I’m not convinced it’s the best answer here since they want to test conditions directly.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think it was about the importance of controlling variables, which makes me lean towards B as well.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like A is misleading because it’s not always necessary to conduct analyses in the natural setting.

I remember something about how experimental conditions can sometimes be set up outside of the natural environment, so I think B might be right.

I'm not sure about this one. Wouldn't detailed interviews with the teacher and staff be a good way to determine the functional relations? That seems like it could provide useful information.

I feel pretty confident that the correct answer is B. The behavior analyst can conduct the analysis in a vacant classroom, but they'll need to consider the generality of the findings. Controlling for important factors is crucial.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. Isn't the natural environment usually the best place to conduct these types of analyses? I'm not sure about the generality of the findings in a vacant classroom.

I think the key here is that the behavior analyst wants to control for potentially important factors, so conducting the analysis in Jamie's classroom may not be the best option. The vacant classroom approach seems like a good compromise.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to double-check my understanding. I think the supported ways to submit Oozie operations in FusionInsight HD are the Java API and the REST API, so I'll select B and D.

Okay, let me think this through. If the test only needs to verify the cell status in idle mode, then I'm guessing the answer is True. But I'll double-check my understanding before submitting.

There was a practice question about ACI backups, and I vaguely recall something about tech-support files being useful, though I'm not confident they export configurations directly.

The key here seems to be the packet loss when communicating with hosts outside of VLAN 68. I'd start by looking at the ARP configuration and see if enabling ip arp synchronization on both switches could help resolve the issue.

I bet Jamie would love a field trip to the 'vacant classroom' for his assessment. Maybe the behavior analyst can bring some finger paints to keep him entertained during the experiment.

Option B sounds like the way to go. The generality of the findings can be addressed later, but first, the behavior analyst needs to get to the bottom of what's driving Jamie's behavior.
