Behavior Principles
This is a consequence that increases the likelihood of a behavior being repeated.
What is reinforcement?
This type of data collection records each instance of a behavior during a specified period.
What is frequency recording?
RBTs should always obtain this from the client or their guardian before beginning any intervention.
What is informed consent?
This type of assessment identifies the functions of a behavior by analyzing the antecedents and consequences.
What is a functional behavior assessment (FBA)?
This term refers to a technique where a task is broken down into smaller, more manageable parts to teach the behavior.
What is task analysis?
This term refers to a behavior that occurs in the presence of a specific stimulus or situation.
What is stimulus control?
This method involves tracking the amount of time a behavior occurs.
What is duration recording?
This principle ensures that all client information is kept confidential.
What is client confidentiality?
This intervention involves reinforcing a behavior that is incompatible with the undesired behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)?
This teaching method involves providing prompts and then gradually reducing them as the client becomes more proficient.
What is prompt fading?
The process of removing a stimulus to decrease the likelihood of a behavior is called this.
What is negative punishment?
This type of data collection involves recording the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a response.
What is latency recording?
This term refers to the practice of adhering to the ethical guidelines established by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB).
What is ethical compliance?
This term describes the process of teaching new skills using successive approximations.
What is shaping?
This type of reinforcement involves delivering a reward after a set number of responses.
What is a fixed ratio schedule?
This term describes a behavior that is learned and maintained through the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconditioned stimulus.
What is classical conditioning?
This type of data collection records whether or not a behavior occurred within a certain time interval.
What is interval recording?
An RBT should avoid this, which involves letting personal feelings or biases influence professional decisions
What is professional boundary crossing?
This type of intervention uses role-playing or modeling to help a client learn new behaviors.
What is behavioral rehearsal?
This technique involves teaching a behavior by reinforcing successive approximations until the desired behavior is achieved.
What is shaping?
This principle involves the use of a stimulus that is present before a behavior to increase the probability that the behavior will occur.
What is discriminative stimulus (SD)?
This data collection method involves recording the percentage of intervals in which a behavior occurs.
What is partial interval recording?
This document is crucial for outlining the scope of services and ensuring both the client and the RBT understand their roles and responsibilities.
What is a treatment plan?
This method of intervention involves providing the client with multiple examples of a behavior in different contexts to enhance generalization.
What is training in multiple contexts?
This strategy involves integrating new skills into the client's natural environment to ensure the behavior is maintained and generalized.
What is natural environment training (NET)?
