Measurement
When using this method for measuring behavior, the observer records whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval
partial-interval recording
The differential reinforcement of successive approximations toward a terminal behavior
shaping
A behavior change strategy that manipulates antecedent stimuli based on (a) motivating operations, (b) stimulus control, an (c) contingency-independent interventions -- It is implemented prior to and independent of the target behavior's occurrence
antecedent intervention
An elementary verbal operant involving a vocal response that is evoked by a vocal verbal SD that has formal similarity between an auditory verbal stimulus and an auditory verbal response product, and a history of generalized reinforcement.
echoic
What percentage of clinical hours are RBTs required to have supervised by a BCBA each month?
5%
The elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus (e.g. task direction, cue) to the initiation of a response
latency (response latency)
The extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to the trained target behavior
response generalization
What are the four functions of behavior?
Escape
Access / Tangible
Sensory / Automatic
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a nonverbal SD and followed by generalized conditioned reinforcement -- Allows the speaker to identify or describe the features of the physical environment
tact
True or False?
You may give or accept occasional gifts from clients, supervisors, etc., as long as it does not exceed $10
True
When using this method for measuring behavior, the observer records whether the target behavior occurred throughout the entire interval
whole-interval recording
A rule specifying the environmental arrangements and response requirements for reinforcement; a description of a contingency of reinforcement
schedule of reinforcement
Reinforcing only those responses within a response class that meet a specific criterion along some dimension(s) and placing all other responses in the class on extinction
differential reinforcement
An elementary verbal operant involving a response of any form that is evoked by an MO and followed by specific reinforcement -- Allows the speaker to get what they want or refuse what they don't want
mand
Scenario: Your client's mother invites you to their weekend cookout.
What ethical dilemma may be developing?
Answer: _______ ________
An observer using ________ records whether the target behavior occurred at the moment the time interval ends
momentary time sampling
This conventional procedure requires one behavior and two antecedent stimulus conditions. Responses are reinforced in the presence of one stimulus condition, the SD, but not in the presence of the other stimulus, the S∆
(stimulus discrimination training)
The discontinuing of reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior (i.e., responses no longer produce reinforcement); the primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of the behavior until it reaches a prereinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur
extinction
An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal SD that does not have point-to-point correspondence with that verbal stimulus
intraverbal
You notice that an RBT is consistently entering inaccurate data; you're unsure if it's intentional. What are you ethically required to do?
Report concerns to supervising BCBA
interresponse time (IRT)
Any environmental variable that momentarily increases (a) the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer; & (b) the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event -- has an evocative effect on behavior
establishing operation (EO)
Any environmental variable that momentarily decreases (a) the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforcer; & (b) the current frequency of all behavior that has been reinforced by that stimulus, object, or event -- has an abative effect on behavior
abolishing operation
A: "What did you do this weekend?"
B: "I went swimming!"
What two verbal operants are shown here?
A: ___________
B: ___________
A: mand
B: intraverbal
RBTs are required to be culturally responsive in their work. They work to evaluate their own ______ and ability to work with inidividuals with diverse backgrounds/needs
biases
