The RBT recorded 18 instances of the child throwing items in the classroom. What type of continuous procedure is the RBT implementing?
Frequency
A teacher delivers a student a break from independent seated work after exactly 1 hour since their last break. This is describing what schedule of reinforcement:
Fixed interval
The 3-term contingency refers to:
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
Your BCBA is teaching you how to implement an extinction procedure. The goal is to decrease property destruction. What could be true when implementing extinction?
There could be an immediate increase in property destruction at first
Increases the future likelihood of behavior
Reinforcement
The BCBA instructs you that he/she wants you to record how long your clients' tantrums last. What type of data collection would you use?
Duration
Sydney is working with her client, Jake, on a gross motor imitation target. Jake has independently clapped hands in the past and has imitated peers' clapping. Every time Sydney presents that instruction "Do this" and claps her hands, Jake will hold up his hands in front of Sydney staring at her and Sydney always completed the response for him. This illustrates an example of:
Prompt dependency
The RBT instructed the learner that it is time to go to the classroom to practice tracing lower case letters. Once seated, the learner engages in elopement each time the RBT presents the instruction "Let's Trace." Based on the scenario and the 4 functions of behavior, what appears to be the function?
Escape
This term is used to describe what occurs immediately before "the behavior"
Antecedent
Verbal behavior of requesting
Mand
Which measurement procedure is being used if the observer is recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in the interval?
Partial Interval Recording
Laura the BCBA is working with her client on brushing teeth. She has broken down the complex skill of brushing teeth into smaller teachable steps to help her client learn this new skill. What teaching procedure is Laura implementing?
Task Analysis
Sarah cleaned her room and received $5.00 upon completion. Sarah engaged in cleaning her room more often in the future. This is an example of:
Positive Reinforcement
Your client continually engages in out of his seat behavior in the classroom. A desirable behavior with roaming around the classroom is being seated during class time. The teacher therefore could reduce the out-of-seat behavior by reinforcing the child for being seated. What differential reinforcement procedure is being illustrated?
DRI
A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says "Zebra!" Which elementary verbal operant does this scenario most likely describe?
Tact
An RBT sets a timer for 2 minutes. When the 2-minute timer goes of, the RBT looks up immediately to see if their client is sitting in their seat.
Momentary Time Sampling
The BCBA delivers praise 5 times on average for each correct response. Sometimes the BCBA delivers praise after 4 correct responses and sometimes after 7 correct responses. Based on this scenario, what schedule of reinforcement is being implemented?
Johnny's dad reprimands him for not cleaning his dishes after dinner. The next day Johnny cleans his dishes, and his father immediately stops yelling. Johnny is more likely to clean his dishes in the future. This is an example of:
Negative Reinforcement
Why is it important to collect ABC data?
It can help determine the function of a behavior
What occurs when reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior is no longer provided, resulting in the decrease of frequency of the behavior in the future?
Extinction
Your BCBA instructs you to take data on how many times your client engages in verbal refusal in 30-minute intervals. What type of data collection is being used?
Rate
The BCBA gave the RBT 10 tasks to have the learner perform to assess whether the learner can perform the tasks or not. This is an example of:
Probing
This is a program during which the learner earns token contingent on appropriate behavior, but also loses 2 tokens contingent on inappropriate behavior:
Response Cost
Name some types of antecedent tools
First, then statements, timers, behavioral momentum, transition warnings, functional communication training, non-contingent reinforcement, etc.
Tim, a BCBA, always writes his procedures in clear and concise terms so that his staff (and families, too!) can easily understand what is meant by his procedures. He provides complete and full definitions, and avoids using overly specific jargon when the person(s) who will be reading or implementing his procedures are laypersons. Of the 7 Dimensions of ABA, which one most accurately describes the above scenario?
