Measurement
This method measures how many times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
This occurs when behavior increases because something is added.
What is positive reinforcement?
This prompt involves physically guiding the learner.
What is physical prompting?
Breaking a complex skill into smaller steps is called this.
What is task analysis?
Who is a BCBA?
This measures how long a behavior lasts.
What is duration?
This occurs when behavior increases because something is removed.
What is negative reinforcement?
This prompting strategy starts with the least intrusive prompt first.
What is least-to-most prompting?
Teaching the first step of a task first is called this.
What is forward chaining?
This principle requires protecting client privacy.
What is confidentiality?
This data method divides time into intervals and records if behavior occurred at any time during the interval.
Giving a student a break after completing work is an example of this.
What is negative reinforcement?
This prompting strategy begins with the most intrusive prompt and fades.
What is most-to-least prompting?
Teaching the last step first so reinforcement comes immediately is called this.
What is backward chaining?
Implementing procedures exactly as written in the plan is called this.
What is treatment fidelity (procedural integrity)?
This measures agreement between two observers.
What is IOA (Interobserver Agreement)?
This schedule delivers reinforcement after a set number of responses.
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
This teaching strategy prevents errors by immediately prompting.
Teaching skills during play and daily routines is called this.
What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)?
RBTs should not practice outside of this.
What is their scope of competence?
This type of graph shows behavior change over time.
What is a line graph?
This occurs when reinforcement is delivered at unpredictable time intervals.
What is a variable interval schedule?
Gradually removing extra cues to transfer stimulus control is called this.
What is stimulus fading?
Teaching using repeated structured trials with clear SD, response, and consequences is called this.
What is Discrete Trial Training (DTT)?
RBTs must report suspected abuse or neglect according to this obligation.
What is mandated reporting?
