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

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.

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 objective data collection.

Hint: setting events

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

200
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
200
These are examples of interventions that target modifying antecedents (must give at least 2 examples)
What are modifying the environment, clarifying expectations, changing how directions are given (e.g., High P), letting students know what they are working for.

These are the four components of a discrete trial in discrete trial teaching:

What is: the discriminative stimulus (Sd), client response and the reinforcing stimulus and the intertrial interval

These are the three instances when staff at The Sonder Academy 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 (CPI procedures)

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

What is prompt fading

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 of Responsible Conduct for Behavior Analysts. Two examples of these are: maintaining confidentiality and avoiding false statements- which mean...

Confidentiality: not disclosing personally identifiable information to those who it is not professionally relevant.

Avoiding false statements: do not make public statements that are fraudulent about the practice, research or other methods used in your behavioral work or content of behavior analysis.

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?
500
Describe how you as an RBT will assist with Functional Assessment procedures
What is: collect ABC data, define target behaviors, describe the environment, enter data, discuss other variables that may impact behavior
500
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
