Terminology
Give me an example of the following:
1. DRA
2. DRO
3. DRI
1. Chewing gum instead of erasers
(Instead of doing the problem behavior, do this appropriate behavior and get rewarded)
2. Verbal praise for sitting down when a child is engaging in behaviors like standing up during circle time
(If the behavior we don't want doesn't happen, we reward that)
3. Having Jimmy put his hands in his pockets while walking down the hallway because he likes to rip artwork off the walls
(If they're doing the new behavior, they physically can't do the problem behavior)
Define Frequency
The number/count of instances a behavior occurs
What does BIP stand for?
Behavior Intervention Plan
Who supervises an RBT?
BCBA or BCaBA
Your BCBA instructs you to take data on how many times your patient engages in verbal refusal in 30 minutes intervals. What type of data collection are you using?
A. Frequency
B. Partial Interval Recording
C. Rate
D. Whole Interval Recording
C. Rate
What is ABC data?
Antecedent- what happens before a behavior occurs
Behavior- what the behavior looked like
Consequence- response to the behavior
Define Rate
The number of instances a behavior occurs over a specified duration or period of time (frequency/duration)
Who is responsible for creating a BIP?
The BCBA
What percentage of working hours must be supervised each month?
5%
Your patient likes to squish his banana in his hand while at the table to eat. Your BCBA implements a differential reinforcement procedure with this patient giving them playdoh to squish instead and the banana squishing decreases. What type of differential reinforcement procedure did the BCBA use?
A. DRO
B. DRA
C. DRI
D. DRL
B. DRA
What are the 4 functions of behavior?
Sensory
Escape
Attention
Tangible
Define Duration
How long a behavior occurs (time)
Which of the following is NOT included in a BIP?
A. The operational definition
B. The onset and offset of the behavior
C. How the patient is feeling during the behaviors
D. The hypothesized function
C. How the patient is feeling during the behaviors
Who keeps track of the RBT's supervised hours?
Your BCBA is observing you and your patient when the patient begins screaming out during circle time. You tell the patient to sit down and stop screaming and they scream more frequently. The next time your BCBA observes, she reinforces other patients around your patient that are sitting quietly and your patient then sits quietly and the BCBA reinforces them. What type of differential reinforcement procedure did your BCBA use?
A. DRO
B. DRA
C. DRI
D. DRL
A. DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors)
What are the prompt hierarchy's?
Verbal LTM->MTL
Physical LTM->MTL
Verbal- Independent, indirect verbal, phonemic, partial verbal, full verbal
Physical- Independent, gestural, modeling, partial physical, full physical
Define Latency
The time it takes for a learner to respond to an sD (The time it takes Jimmy to clap his hands after the RBT places the demand, "Clap Hands")
What does it mean to use antecedent strategies to decrease instances of challenging behaviors?
Some examples could include: setting up the environment for success, looking and watching for pre-cursors to challenging behaviors, knowing what the behaviors look like as well as triggers to these behaviors, etc.
You must pass a ____________ ___________ before you can take the RBT exam.
competency assessment
Give an example of the following terms:
1. Positive Reinforcement
2. Negative Reinforcement
3. Positive Punishment
4. Negative Punishment
1. Being given a gummy after a correct response
2. Getting to take a break after completing your work
3. Adding a minute to your work timer when you talk during independent work
4. Removing $5 from your allowance because you didn't clean your room
What is Forward Chaining?
What is Backward Chaining?
What is Total Task?
Forward Chaining- beginning with the first step of the task
Backward Chaining- beginning with the last step of the task
Total Task- presenting the entire task at once
Define Inter-response Time
The time between the end of one behavior and the start of another instance of that same behavior (Jimmy hits you 3 times and then he stops for 1 minute before he hits you again)
What is escape extinction protocol?
What is attention extinction protocol?
What is extinction burst?
-Ignore the behavior, follow through with the demand.
- withhold attention, follow through with original demand
- the behavior may get worse before it gets better- this is normal!!
True or false
RBT's must be supervised while collecting ABC data.
False
You are tracking how long a student plays independently without needing help. Which continuous measurement method should you use?
Duration
