Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA) — Question 5

After saying, "ball," Kelly presents five objects to her student, Bryan. When Bryan selects the ball, Kelly delivers a high-preference item. Bryan is learning to:

Answer options

• A. tact objects.
• B. match to sample.
• C. make a simple discrimination.
• D. respond to multiple exemplars.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Bryan is learning to match the selected item (the ball) with the corresponding item presented by Kelly. Option A is incorrect because it refers to identifying objects rather than matching. Option C is not applicable since it involves discrimination rather than matching, while option D does not specifically address the act of matching to a sample.
