you are running a BIP for a social positive maintained behavior and you notice everytime you prompt the patient to mand for your attention he runs away and say blah blah blah. What do you do? 

Bonus (100): if you can describe the function in this scenario 

-Function is changing during prompting 

-you would want to prompt for an escape maintained behavior by modeling the correct response "oh it looks like you want some space" "All done" "give me space"

-also let bcba know because all of the bips are written to address a specific function

-Note HOW you tried to get kiddo back to HRE 

-what consequence strategies were used? 

-behavior reduction programs ran? 

300

If your patient is engaging in escape maintained behavior during DTT, what should your first next step be? 

-Re assessing their motivation and reminding them of the contingency "First tokens, then outside play."

300

Always refer the program specific instructions but most of the time from a gestural you would move to an independent probe! 

300

-ABC Data 

-Precursors to behavior/ activity you were engaging with 

-Topography of behavior 

-Rate/ duration/ frequency of the behavior  

300

RBT runs imitation program with patient. Patient responds with the correct response after RBT says the SD again after no response the first time. You track this as...

Sarah says to "use differential reinforcement" for the amount of time your kiddo gets ipad after completing a token board. What the heck does this mean? 

little prompting/ behavior= more time with R+

a lot of escape behavior observed/ high rate of prompting used= less time with R+

Bonus (100): Give an example of Diff reinforcement in NET 

400

Something that should ALWAYS be observed before running skill acquisition programs...

What is ASSENT SIGNS!! 

Bonus (100): List assent signs for one of our kiddos 

400

At what point to you call a BCBA for assistance during a behavior episode/ escalation 

-You are not trained on the specific BIP 

-you observe a novel behavior that you are unsure how to work through 

-You have implemented all of the consequence strategies that are in the specific BIP 

-Patient has not de escalated ~5 mins 

-patient continues to escalate further and intensifies in topography 

400

After running an error correction procedure...How should you track this in CR? 

You should record the WHOLE procedure with one trial. Record the most invasive prompt used though the procedure. 

500

An example of reinforcing an attention maintained behavior looks like....

Let's see the scenario 

500

ISO means.....

....IN SEARCH OF 

500

A standard error correction procedures look like...

  • Following an error:
  • Present the SD + Most intrusive prompt (i.e., specified in target prompting hierarchy) 
  • Present the SD + faded in intruviness prompt or run as IND 
  • Provide one distractor trial
  • Provide another distractor trial 
  • Present the SD + Probe for IND OR Faded Prompt 
  • Record Trial in Cr
