Measurement
This type of continuous measurement is a raw count of the number of times a behavior occurs
What is frequency?
What is discrete trial teaching?
This phenomenon occurs when reinforcement is no longer provided for a behavior
What is extinction?
These documents are based on observable facts and should be completed after every session.
What are session notes?
This professional is the only type of person who can provide you with supervision as an RBT.
What is a BCBA?
This dimension of behavior involves how long the behavior lasts for
What is duration?
This technique involves removing prompts over time until the client responds independently.
What is stimulus control transfer or prompt fading?
In this procedure, reinforcement is only provided when a targeted behavior does NOT occur.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)?
This required sentence/phrase should be somewhere in every session note, usually at the end.
When an RBT suspects abuse, this is the correct action to take.
Document or report it
In this method of data recording, you record whether the behavior occurred only at the very end of the interval
This concept refers to when a skill carries over to new settings, people, or materials.
What is generalization?
This procedure involves removing a preferred item to decrease a maladaptive behavior.
What is negative punishment?
A definition, usually written by a BCBA, describes exactly what a behavior looks like in observable, measurable terms.
What is an operational definition?
RBTs are not ethically allowed to accept gifts above this dollar amount.
What is $10?
This type of graph is the most commonly used in behavior analysis.
What is a line graph?
This method of assessment can be used to identify possible reinforcers to use in skill acquisition programs
What is a preference assessment?
These two methods of data collection, usually done by an RBT, are considered a form of descriptive assessment and are used to determine the function of problem behaviors.
What are ABC data and scatterplots?
This organization must be notified if you do not meet your monthly supervision requirements as an RBT.
What is the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB)?
These professional guidelines, which can be found on the BACB website, outline the ethical standards for you as an RBT.
What is the RBT Ethics Code?
This measurement method tends to either overestimate or underestimate the true occurrence of the behavior and is usually reported as a percentage of intervals.
What is discontinuous measurement?
Error: Error occurs
Correct: Prompt correct response
Transfer: Re-present SD
Expand: 2-3 high-ps/distractors
Return: Re-present SD
These three methods of functional behavior assessment are used to identify the function of a problem behavior and are usually done by a BCBA or with the help of an RBT
What are functional analysis, descriptive assessment, and indirect assessment?
A BCBA may collect data on this to determine how accurately an RBT is implementing a client's program.
What is treatment fidelity or treatment integrity?
This is the most common type of HIPAA violation and, while seemingly harmless, is still a breach of patient confidentiality.
What is snooping/viewing records without a legitimate work need?
