Applied Behavior Analysis Technician (ABAT) Practice Test

What encompasses all behaviors a person can do?

1. Response

2. Repertoire

3. Environment

4. Stimulus Class

The correct answer is: Repertoire

The term that encompasses all behaviors a person can engage in is referred to as "repertoire." In the context of behavior analysis, an individual's repertoire includes the entire collection of behaviors they have learned and can exhibit in various situations. This can include all skills, responses, and actions that an individual has acquired through experience and learning. The concept of repertoire is crucial because it illustrates the range and diversity of a person's behavior, which can be observed and measured. It also provides a framework for understanding how behaviors can arise from learning experiences, and how they can be influenced or changed through interventions. Understanding a person's repertoire allows behavior analysts and technicians to identify which behaviors might be increased or decreased, based on the individual’s unique set of skills and challenges. It underpins the entire process of behavior assessment and intervention planning.
