Measurement
A continuous measurement procedure that measures the length of time a behavior occurs
What is duration?
In this procedure, a client is given a conditioned reinforcer known as a token upon completion of a specified behavior/number of tasks
What is a token economy?
These are the four common functions of behavior
What are access to tangible, escape, access to attention, and self-stimulation?
Illness, medication changes, novel therapists, and schedule changes are examples of what
What are environmental variables?
Examples of this include closing doors when clients are using the restroom, not discussing their behaviors in front of them, and not making comments about their food.
What is client dignity?
In this type of discontinuous measurement procedure, you would mark the interval as an occurrence if the targeted behavior occurs at any point during the interval
What is partial interval recording?
Maintenance Monday and Mastery Tuesday are examples of what type of procedures
What are generalization and maintenance procedures?
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behaviors (DRI)?
Telling your BCBA right away when a parent reports that a client didn't sleep well is an example of this reporting requirement?
What is reporting other variables that might affect the client in a timely manner?
Examples of these include not friending parents on Facebook/social media or babysitting for clients outside of work events
What are professional boundaries? (also acceptable- avoiding dual relationships/conflicts of interest)
In this type of discontinuous measurement, you mark the interval as an occurrence if the targeted behavior occurs for the entire interval
What is whole interval recording?
A VR:5 is this type of reinforcement schedule
What is intermittent reinforcement?
Functional communication training is a type of this differential reinforcement procedure
What is differential reinforcement of alternative behaviors (DRA)?
Asking a BCBA to come in and explain the new BIP to you during the first week of implementation is an example of this task list skill
What is actively seek clinical direction in a timely manner?
RBTs do this with parents and caregivers by completing the half-sheet note during every shift
What is communication?
A pile of folded laundry or a handwriting worksheet would be an example of this type of recording procedure
What is permanent product recording?
What is unconditioned punishment?
This procedure involves reinforcing the absence of a behavior. Critics of the procedure say it can inadvertently reinforce other maladaptive behavior.

This documentation and reporting requirement requires RBTs to use data driven descriptions of the client's day when reporting to parents/insurance companies
What is generate objective sessions notes?
Acknowledging your mistakes and asking for help to improve your skills is an example of this professional skill
What is responding appropriately to feedback?
This type of measurement involves recording the behavior that occurs at the very end of an interval
What is momentary time sampling?
When a response is under this kind of control, it only occurs in response to the SD and not the S-delta
What is stimulus control?
This temporary increase in behavior occurs when the reinforcement that was previously maintaining a behavior is removed completely
What is an extinction burst?
This national privacy rule protects individuals' medical records and other personal health information
What is HIPPA?
The BACB requires that RBTs have this percentage of their direct therapy hours supervised by a BCBA/BCaBA
What is 5%?
