SD
Discriminative Stimulus
Stimulus: "sit down". Response: client begins to sit down after 20 seconds. Latency = 20 seconds.
Latency
follows a behavior and decreases the likelihood the behavior will occur again in the future

DTT

What is a preference assessment?
A preference assessment is a method to identify highly preferred items or actions that can be used as reinforcers.
Behavior should be described in ________ and _______ terms
observable and measurable
What are the different types of chaining?
Forward, backward chaining and total task chaining
What is the difference between duration and latency recording?
Latency is how long it takes to start the behavior and duration is how long the behavior lasts.
FR
Fixed Ratio
In this technique, a skill is broke down into small, "discrete" pieces that are taught to the client.
discrete trial teaching (DTT)
What is errorless teaching?
Preventing a learner from erroring by immediately prompting the correct response
What is a prompt?
A cue to engage the learner in the correct response
These are the four functions of behavior
escape, attention, automatic reinforcement and access to tangibles
MO
Motivating Operation
What is naturalistic teaching?
This teaching involves "learning through play" and takes advantage of intrinsically motivating items and materials in the natural environment (school, store, house, etc.). Look for "teachable moments" when you see a child is particularly excited or interested in something in the environment.
What is the teaching procedure that involves prompting a correct response after an error
error correction
What is the most intrusive prompt?
Describe BACB Supervision Standards for RBTs.
Supervision must be, at minimum, 5% of the total hours spent providing services per month. At least two supervisions should be face-to-face, and one should be direct observation of the RBT as they provide services.
