Data Collection
The measurement of the total count of a behavior.
What is frequency?
These reinforcers gain their reinforcing properties through pairing with other reinforcers.
What are conditioned reinforcers?
These are the four functions of behavior.
What is automatic/sensory?
What is tangible/access?
What is attention?
What is escape?
What is a preference assessment?
This is the minimum percentage of your hours that must be supervised by a BCBA.
What is 5 percent?
Some dimension (or dimensions) of a behavior is recorded each time the behavior occurs.
What is continuous reinforcement?
This process teaches long tasks by dividing them into several more manageable steps.
What is task analysis?
In this procedure, a behavior that previously led to reinforcement no longer produces that reinforcement.
What is extinction?
In this type of preference assessment, a client freely engages with items in a set area.
What is free operant?
This type of ethical breach creates conflicts of interest due to competing or mixing roles (e.g., being friends or family with a client's caregiver)
What is dual/multiple relationship?
The amount of time between an instruction and a response, or between an antecedent and a behavior.
What is latency?
In this teaching process, successive approximations of a behavior are differentially reinforced as behavior gradually changes in the desired direction.
What is shaping?
This alters the value of a consequence, increasing or decreasing the likelihood of a behavior that produces that consequence.
What is a motivating operation?
This type of assessment identifies the type of reinforcement responsible for maintaining a behavior.
What is a functional analysis?
This is the monetary limit of a gift that can be exchanged between a client's family and a provider of ABA services.
What is 10 dollars?
This type of data collection occurs when you score whether a behavior occurred at any point during a set period of time.
What is partial interval recording?
This term refers to applying learned skills in new ways or to new situations.
What is generalization?
In this procedure, a specific class of behavior is reinforced, while reinforcement is withheld for other classes of behavior.
What is differential reinforcement?
This type of assessment includes rating scales, questionnaires, checklists, and interviews, but does not include observation of the client.
What is an indirect assessment?
Examples of this include legal charges, investigations, disciplinary actions, and physical/mental conditions, including substance abuse, that may impair an RBT's ability to perform services.
The three measurable dimensions of behavior.
What is temporal extent?
What is temporal locus?
What is repeatability?
This type of teaching targets critical areas that improve responses across multiple domains.
What is pivotal response training?
These are the five types of differential reinforcement.
What is differential reinforcement of other behavior? (DRO)
What is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior? (DRA)
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior? (DRI)
What is differential reinforcement of higher (DRH) or lower (DRL) rates of behavior?
In this type of preference assessment, selected items are removed from an array until only one option remains.
What is multiple stimulus without replacement?
This term refers to the services and activities an RBT can accurately carry out.
What is scope of competence?
