What type of measurement are you taking when you track how long a behavior is occurring for?

Duration

100

What are the three types of chaining?

Forward, Backward, Total Task Chaining

100

What are the 4 behavior functions?

S - Sensory

E - Escape

A - Attention

T - Tangible

100

True or False? RBT can create programs and interventions for their students?

False

100
Positive reinforcement vs positive punishment
Add something to an environment to increase behavior vs adding something to an environment to decrease a behavior
200

A teacher sits at her desk while her students transition in from recesses. After about 5 minutes, she looks up and collects data on whether a student is in their seat or not. Which type of data collection is this?

Momentary Time Sampling

200

What is the main difference between DTT and Naturalistic Teaching?

DTT - Teacher led

NT - Student led

200

Using the most intrusive prompt also means?

Proving a prompt at the highest level for an individual to be successful with the skill (could be full physical in some situations).

200

What term refers to protecting client privacy and personal information?

Confidentiality 

200

A stimulus that signals reinforcement is available is called what?

Discriminative Stimulus (SD)

300

If you wanted to work on task initiation with a student, which type of measurement would you use to find how long it takes for a student to respond after giving an instruction?

Latency

300

What is shaping?

Reinforcing approximations of a behavior until it reaches the goal behavior. This includes no longer reinforcing previous approximations (extinction) when goals are reached.
300

A student has some experience with the specific skill you are trying to teach. Which type of chaining should you use?

Total Task Chaining

300

How much money can RBT's accept from a client?

$10 max one time

300

What term refers to a variable that temporarily increases/decreases a value of a reinforcer?

Motivating Operations

400

Marking a behavior after it occurs once in an interval and not again until the next interval is what type of data recording?

Partial Interval Recording

400

What are the two main parts that make up discrete trial training?

DTT - 1. breaking down complex skill into smaller teachable parts 2. a trial is made up of an SD, behavior, and consequence. 

400

What is DRA, DRI, and DRO (name and behavior procedure).

Differential Reinforcement of:

A - Alternative - Teaching / reinforcing an alternative to current one

I - Incompatible - Reinforcing behaviors incompatible to current one

O - Other - Reinforcing other behaviors other than current absent of challenging bx


400

If you worked 22 ABA hours at a center, and 62 ABA school hours during a month, how many hours would have needed to be supervised.

4.2 hours. 

400

This term refers to performing a skill across different people and places, while this term refers to performing a skill over a long period of time after teaching has stopped (2).

Generalization, Maintenance 

500

Having two people observe the same behavior independently is what time of measurement?

Inter Observer Agreement

500

What are the 5 types of preference assessments?

1. Free operant

2. Single Stimulus

3. Paired Stimulus (Forced Choice)

4. MSW

5. MSWO

500

Explain Stimulus Control

Stimulus control occurs when a behavior reliably happens in the presence of a specific stimulus and not in its absence, and after a previously neutral stimulus has been paired with a conditioned stimulus through reinforcement.

500
You realize a client's parent is a close family friend of yours. You decide to end the contract with this client. Why?

Dual Relationship

500

This type of motivating operation increases a reinforcers value, while this type of motivating operation decreases a reinforcers value. 

Establishing operations, Abolishing Operations
