Measurement
Recording occurrence/non-occurrence at a specific point in time
What is Momentary Time sampling?
Participates (as trained) to complete relevant elements of assessment to determine the function(s) of challenging behavior occurring during therapy sessions.
What is the RBTs role in Functional assessments?
Only some instances of a behavior result in a reinforcer. Results in greater resistance to extinction.
What is intermittent reinforcement?
Implementation of behavioral strategies in the client's everyday environment as opportunities naturally arise
What is incidental teaching?
Allowing choices where appropriate; using client preferences/abilities in program planning; using as age-appropriate language and interaction styles as are meaningful to the client; altering programming to most closely resemble contexts of same-aged peers; minimizing "audience" when challenging behaviors are occurring.
How do you maintain client dignity?
Recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in time in a predetermined interval
What is partial interval recording?
Data recorded on the immediate antecedent and consequence for observed instances of target behavior
What is ABC data?
A reinforcer follows a fixed number of responses.
What is a Fixed Ratio (FR) schedule?
An additional stimulus paired with the SD/instruction that brings about correct responding. If it doesn't evoke correct responding, it isn't this.
What is a prompt?
A minimum of 5% ____________________ per month.
the hours spent providing applied behavior-analytic services per month.
Recording if the target behavior occurred for the entire duration of a predetermined interval
What is whole interval recording?
Structured assessment form with questions regarding various functions of challenging behavior used to identify likely function(s) to be completed by primary caregivers and others familiar with client.
What is a rating scale?
A reinforcer follows a variable number of responses.
What is a Variable Ratio (VR) schedule?
A teaching procedure by which a specific sequence of responses is taught such that the completion of the previous response serves as the SD for the next response
What is chaining?
7 years
What is the amount of time an RBT should keep their supervision paperwork.
Recording performance of a skill based on observing a finished product, not the actual performance of the skill
What are permanent product recording procedures?
16-item assessment with yes/no/NA options for whether target behavior occurs under described circumstance
What is the Functional Assessment Screening Tool (FAST)?
A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement
What is a Fixed Interval (FI) schedule?
Set of successive component steps, in small, teachable units, that comprise a complex behavior
What is a task analysis?
Benefit others; treat others with compassion, dignity, and respect; behave with integrity; and ensure their own competence.
What are the 4 core principles of the RBT ethics code?
Recording data according to the specific instructions for each program/target behavior and updated graphic representation (as relevant) to display most recent data collected
What is entering data and updating graphs?
assessment with 0-6 Likert scale options for contexts in which target behavior may or may not occur.
What is the Motivation Assessment Scale (MAS)?
A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a variable amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement.
What is a Variable Interval (VI) schedule?
The introduction of additional stimuli to ensure correct performance and the systematic fading of said stimuli as independence increases
What are prompt and prompt fading procedures?
The behavior-technician services and activities an RBT can accurately carry out.
What is scope of competence?
