RBT Competency Review Game

Measurement

100

These are ways in which an RBT can prepare to collect data:

What is: defining the target behavior, have materials ready (pencil, sheet), identifying when/what you are observing, establish this with other professionals

200

Collecting data on all responses of behavior during a data collection period

What is continuous data collection procedures BONUS: What are two examples of these?

300

These are examples of discontinuous data collection procedures (you must be able to define each of these three).

What are: partial interval, whole interval and momentary time sampling

400

This type of data collection involves looking at the impact of the behavior on the environment.

What is permanent product recording.

500

Graphs are AWESOME! These are the three ways we look at data to interpret and visually analyze the changes in data.

What are shifts in Level, Trend, and Variability BONUS: What is it called when you take data before your intervention?

Assessment

100

Ensuring the definition of a target behavior is clear enough so that all data collectors are know what they are looking for (not subjective). Hint: 2 key words

What is writing behavior objectives in observable and measurable terms.

200

These are examples of two ways we can directly identify a student's preferred items/activities.

What is preference assessments: paired choice and stimuli without replacement

300

ABCs in data recording stand for and what do they mean? AND Why do we collect ABC data? 

Antecedent, behavior, consequence. What happens before a behavior, what does the behavior look like, and what happens directly after the behavior that may be maintaining it? 

Helps us hypothesize and determine the function of the behavior. 

400

This type of assessment refers to any method of collecting data that requires reflection on student learning, skills, or behaviors, rather than a demonstration of it or observation of behavior in the moment.

What is: indirect assessment

500

Name at least two skills assessments that are used in ABA to assess skills and inform programming decisions. 

What is: VB-MAPP, AFLS, ABLLS-R, PEAK, SOCIALLY SAVY

Skill Acquisition

100

This type of reinforcement is used when teaching new skills and reinforcing each instance of a desired behavior.

What is continuous reinforcement. BONUS: When is intermittent reinforcement used?

200

Required parts of a skills program (think- right side of CR). 

What is: what you are teaching, when/where you are teaching, materials needed, prompts to be used, teaching procedures

300

What does DTT stand for? What does NET stand for? 

What is: Discrete Trial Training, Natural Environment Teaching

400

When reducing your prompts over time to increase independence this is called:

What is prompt fading

500

This is an instructional strategy that ensures children always respond correctly. As each skill is taught, children are provided with a prompt or cue immediately following an instruction. The immediate prompt prevents any chance for incorrect responses.

What is Errorless teaching 

Behavior Reduction

100

Why behavior occurs and the 4 common reasons why behavior occurs.

What is the function of behavior. Obtain: Attention, Tangibles, Stimulation Avoid: Attention, Task/Situation, Stimulation

200

Give 2 examples of interventions that target modifying antecedents. 

What are modifying the environment, clarifying expectations, changing how directions are given (e.g., High P), letting students know what they are working for. First/Then statements. 

300

True or False: Punishment procedures can be used freely at the discretion of the BCBA and do not always need parent/caregiver approval. 

What is: FALSE

BCBA's must get approval from caregivers to implement punishment procedures. Punishment procedures should only be implemented after reinforcement procedures have been exhausted and proven ineffective. 

400

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

500

When a behavior that has previously accessed reinforcement is no longer being reinforced in order to reduce the occurrence of the behavior. 

What is extinction. 

Bonus: What are possible side effects of extinction?

Documentation and Professional Conduct

100

These are variables that may affect a client that are important to note in your objective data collection.

What are: illness, relocation, medication, sleep disturbances, outside issues with family

200

The BACB minimum requirement for RBT supervision per month. 

5% of behavior analytic hours worked (direct sessions). 

Bonus: How much of your 5% can be group supervision? 

300

What is a dual relationship? Should RBTs have these? Why or Why not? 

dual relationships: a relationship
where multiple roles exist between a
practitioner and a client/participant (RBT and babysitter). RBTs and BCBAs should not have these. Dual relationships can interfere with care and services and go against the ethics code.  

400

Give me two examples of rules/competencies outlined in the RBT ethics code that we have not discussed yet. 

N/A: dual relationships, supervision standards

Confidentiality, Avoiding false statements, record keeping, consent, timely reporting, integrity, dissemination of information, maintaining copetence.

500
