Introduction
Responsible for the direct implementation of behavior analytic services, developed by supervisor
What is an RBT
Attention
Escape/avoidance
tangibles
Sensory
What are the functions of behavior?
The science of applying experimentally derived principles of behavior to improve socially significant behavior
What is ABA?
Verbally identifying expectations before presenting the request.
What is priming?
An item a client enjoys vs an item that increases the probability of the behavior to repeat again in the future.
What is a _____ vs a ________.
What is a preferred item vs. a reinforcer?
The minimum # of supervision hours an RBT must be supervised monthly.
What is 5%
1. Avoid talking about client to others in front of client.
2. Prioritize connection and strong relationships with our clients
3. Incorporate client interests and preferences
What are the ways to prioritize client dignity?
Take behavior and use it to make socially valid behavior change.
What is applied?
The opportunity to engage in a high probability behavior is made contingent on the occurrence of a low probability behavior to increase the low-probability behavior.
What is first/then (premack principle)
Presentation or increase in intensity of a stimulus that increases future frequency of behavior
What is positive reinforcement?
No baby sitting
Value of gift must be less than $10
Refrain from providing services when personal problems and conflicts with others may impact the ability to perform job duties.
What are ways to maintain personal boundaries?
Only discuss the case with those directly involved in the case
Use client's initials when around others that do not work with client
Keep client related documents secured
What are ways to maintain client confidentiality?
Observable and measurable
What is behavior?
Remove materials required for an undesired behavior, arrange a successful learning environment, restrict access to specific materials in the environment, and dedicate a specific environment for a desired behavior.
What is environmental arrangements?
Reinforcement that is inherent and doesn't come from a history of past experiences.
What is unconditioned or Primary reinforcement?
Turning away
Inattention
Frowning
complaints/Grumblings
Crying
pulling hands back
What are signs of assent withdrawal?
A client verbally or nonverbally communicates they no longer want to participate in an activity, demand or task.
What is withdrawing assent?
Behavior is analyzed within the environment to determine what is influencing behavior
What is analysis?
2-5 easy tasks (high-p) with a known history of learner compliance are presented immediately before presenting the target task (low-p)
What is behavioral momentum (high probability sequence request)?
Negative reinforcement
Smiling
looking towards instructor or materials
active engagement and participation
Reaching for BT
Ready cooperation
What are the signs of assent?
Regional Clinical Manager
Who is Ashlee Fuentes?
1. What happens before the behavior
2. The behavior
3. What happened immediately after the behavior?
What are antecedent, behavior, and consequence?
Manipulate motivating operations to make a desired or undesired behavior more or less likely to occur.
What are establishing operations?
Reinforcement created through the pairing of a neutral stimulus with an unconfirmed reinforcer (tokens)
What is conditioned reinforcement?
