Measurement
You record how long your client engages in tantrum behaviors.
Duration
You take your client into the playroom and record what they play with and for how long. You do not place any demands during the observation period.
Free Operant Preference Assessment
You run a matching trial, receptive ID trial, and a tacting trial with your client. They then get to play in the water bin. After reinforcement, you run 3 more trials and then they get to play on the swing. What type of teaching is this?
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)
Name the 4 functions of behavior
Escape, Attention, Tangible, Sensory
Your BCBA created a new program for the client you are working with, but you have questions about how to run it so you may seek this.
Clinical Direction
You record every time your client hits themselves.
Frequency
You are working with a new client. Every time they engage in a maladaptive behavior you record what happened right before the behavior, the behavior that occurred, and what happened right after the behavior.
ABC Data Collection
You are introducing a matching program to your client for the very first time. You are going to teach the skill so that they learn to do it the correct way and do not have an opportunity to make a mistake.
Errorless learning
In the past your client has hit you when you and the BCBA were having conversations and you responded by talking to and engaging with them. After completing a functional behavior assessment, it was determined that the function of the hitting was to gain attention, so you were inadvertently reinforcing the client by engaging with them. Going forward, you will no longer engage with the client if they hit you to gain your attention.
Extinction
You maintain this by showing respect to your client, not talking about them in front of them, giving them meaningful choices, and allowing them privacy.
Client Dignity
Your BCBA tells you to collect data on a client’s out of seat behavior for 1 minute intervals. You record out of seat behavior if the client is out of their seat for any part of that minute.
Bonus: For 100 extra points – what if you record out of seat behavior only if the client is out of their seat for the entire minute.
Partial Interval Recording
Bonus: Whole Interval Recording
You are getting ready to do table work with your client and ask them if they want to work for the racetrack or for bubbles.
Forced Choice/Paired Choice Preference Assessment
Your client is playing with the blocks. While you play with them you also run a color and listener responding trial (give me the red block), build 2 different towers and ask which was taller, and when finished you run a two step instruction program for “put the blocks in the bin and then put the bin on the shelf.” What type of teaching is this?
Natural Environment Teaching
You are working with a client for the first time. You look here to see what maladaptive behaviors they may engage in, the function, as well as antecedent and reactive strategies for those behaviors.
Behavior Intervention/Support Plan
You write these at the end of every session. They should use your MOO standards.
Bonus: For an extra 100 points, what are our MOO standards?
Session notes
Bonus: Measurable, Observable, Objective
Mom tells her kid to go to bed and it takes them 25 minutes to go to bed. 25 minutes is the what?
Latency
You set out some of your client’s favorite snacks (m&m, skittle, oreo, cheez it, fruit snack, and chocolate chip cookie). You ask your client what they want, and they choose the oreo. After giving them the oreo, you record what they choose and rearrange the order. You then ask again what they want, and oreo is no longer a choice.
Bonus: What would it be if oreo was a choice again?
Multiple Stimulus without Replacement (MSWO)
Bonus: Multiple Stimulus with Replacement (MSW)
Your client is reinforced on a FR2 schedule. For every 2 responses they give they receive a sticker. After earning 5 stickers they are able to go play in the gym.
Token system
You are helping a BCBA implement an attention extinction procedure for a client which involves ignoring the client when they spit and when they scream for a request. The client asks to use the washroom using a conversational level of voice. What should you do?
Honor the request
An example of maintaining this includes not having multiple relationships with families (not being friends on social media, not babysitting the client, etc).
Professional Boundaries
Bonus: For an extra 100 points, give another example of maintaining professional boundaries.
Your BCBA tells you to collect data on a client’s nail biting behavior. You set a timer for 5 minutes, and when the timer goes off you look to see if the client is currently biting their nails.
Momentary time sampling
You create a list of potential reinforcers for your client. In order to determine if it they are things your client does want, you present one item at a time and ask if they want it. You then record what their response was.
Single Stimulus Preference Assessment
You are teaching your client to wash their hands. Your BCBA broke down the steps of handwashing into approach sink, turn on water, get hands wet, pump soap, scrub hands, rinse hands, turn off water, get paper towel, dry hands, and throw paper towel away. When your client washes their hands, you allow them to try independently to approach sink, turn on water, and get their hands wet. For the rest of the steps, you use errorless teaching.
Bonus: For an extra 100 points what would it be if you used errorless teaching through the step of rinse hands and allowed for independence on turn of water, get paper towel, dry hands, and throw paper towel away?
Double Bonus: For ANOTHER 100 points what would it be if you allowed for independence on all the steps?
Forward Chaining
Bonus: Backwards Chaining
Double Bonus: Total Task Chaining
Your client has a history of engaging in maladaptive behaviors when it is time to transition so you and your BCBA implement a visual schedule, transitional warnings, a timer, and teach functional communication to request more time. These are examples of...?
Antecedent interventions
You must have 5% of your billable hours every month, the BCBA provides it, it is your responsibility to track it.
