Measurement
A way in which an RBT can prepare to collect data
What is:
a) clear the treatment area of distracting items,
b) have materials ready (pencil, sheet),
c) gain client's attention
Ensuring the definition of a target behavior is clear enough so that all data collectors know what they are looking for. Hint: 2 key words, (not subjective)
What is writing behavior objectives in observable and measurable terms
Before we can can reduce a behavior, we must first figure why it occurs. What is the term used for this procedure? and what are four common reasons for a behavior?
What is the function of behavior. Obtain: Attention, Tangibles, Stimulation Avoid: Attention, Task/Situation, Stimulation
These are variables that may affect a client that are important to note in your session note.
What are: illness, relocation, medication, sleep disturbances, outside issues with family
Collecting data on all occurrences of behavior during a data collection period and one example
What is:
continuous data collection procedures
These are examples of two ways we can directly identify a student's preferred items/activities.
What is preference assessments: paired choice, free operant, single stimulus, multiple stimuli without replacement, or multiple stimuli with replacement
These are required parts of a skill acquisition plan:
What is: what you are teaching, when/where you are teaching, materials needed, how to reinforce, how to progress monitor and a plan for generalization/maintenance
These are examples of interventions placed before a behavior occurs
What are antecedent strategies
This is the policy that you follow as an RBT at Hopebridge in relation to abuse and neglect reporting.
What is a mandated reporter.
These are 3 types of discontinuous data collection procedures (you must be able to define each of these)
What are:
a) partial interval,
b) whole interval, and
c) momentary time sampling
Common assessments that you may assist with as an RBT
What are:
a) Vineland (once a year),
b) VB-MAPP (every 6 months),
c) MAS or QABF (every 6 months)
These are the three components of a discrete trial in discrete trial teaching:
What is: the discriminative stimulus (Sd), client response and the reinforcing stimulus
These are the three instances when staff at Hopebridge use a crisis response and implement physical interventions:
What is: 1) to prevent a student from injuring themselves, 2) to prevent the student from injury another student or staff, 3) to prevent extreme destruction of property
These are roles that an RBT has at Hopebridge.
What is the implementation of intervention plans, assist in the assessment of clients, take and enter data, follow the ethical guidelines of RBT through the BACB.
This type of data collection involves looking at the impact of the behavior on the environment
What is:
permanent product recording
A meaningful way in which you can assist with an assessment of a child's social skills
What is:
a) observe the student in their environment and describe what you see
b) probe for specific skills
These are procedures where you are reinforcing other or alternative behaviors instead of the problem behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other or Alternative Behavior (DRA, DRO) BONUS: Give an example of a DRA or DRO
RBTs must follow a subset of the Guidelines including maintaining professional boundaries, give two examples on how to do so
1.) Stay within your scope of practice
2.) Avoid dual relationships
Graphs are AWESOME! These are the 3 ways we look at data to interpret and visually analyze the changes in data
What are shifts in Level, Trend, and Variability
Describe how you as an RBT can assist with Functional Assessment procedures
What is
a) collect ABC data,
b) help define target behaviors,
c) describe the environment,
d) enter data, or
e) discuss other variables that may impact behavior
Stimulus discrimination training requires one behavior and two stimuli conditions. This is how the instructor teaches the student to do the behavior when one stimulus is present but not the other.
What is reinforcing the behavior in the presence of one stimuli and not reinforcing it in the presence of another. BONUS: give an example
Using extinction means that a staff member is doing the following.
What is ignoring or not reinforcing a behavior that had been previously reinforced BONUS: what is it called if during extinction there is an increase in problem behavior?
Respecting a clients right to privacy, obtaining informed consent (from parental guardians), considering client needs and wants, not talking about clients in front of them- these are all examples of....
What is how to maintain client dignity.
