Acronyms
RBT stands for this term
Registered Behavior Technician
This kind of reinforcement occurs when a preferred stimulus is added to increase the likelihood of a behavior in the future.
What is positive reinforcement (R+)
This dimension of measurement is used when an RBT tracks every instance of a behavior
What is frequency
This is best classified as a request
What is a mand
ABA stands for this
What is Applied Behavior Analysis
This is the process of associating a neutral stimulus with a reinforcing stimulus to increase the likelihood that the neutral stimulus will be reinforcing in the future.
What is pairing
This kind of reinforcement occurs when an RBT provides reinforcement to a client every 5 minutes that they are engaging in desirable behavior.
What is a fixed interval (FI) schedule
This dimension of measurement is used when an RBT tracks a behavior from the time it starts until the time it ends
What is duration
This term is referred to as FR 3
What is a fixed ratio of 3
This kind of reinforcement occurs when an nonpreferred stimulus is added to decrease the likelihood of future behavior
What is Positive Punishment (P+)
This measurement procedure is used when an RBT tracks whether or not a behavior occurs at any given moment of a specified time period
What is partial interval recording
This is commonly referred to as R+
What is positive reinforcement
This is the process of teaching new behaviors by reinforcing "successive approximations"—small, gradual steps—toward a desired target behavior
What is shaping
This differential reinforcement procedure occurs when an RBT reinforces a replacement behavior while not reinforcing a maladaptive behavior with the same function
What is differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)
This dimension of measurement is used when an RBT tracks how long it takes a client to respond after an SD is presented.
What is latency
These are the four functions of behavior
What is access to tangibles, escape, attention and automatic reinforcement
This term is referred to as a VI schedule
What is variable interval
These are the verbal operants
What is mand, tact, intraverbal and echoic
This differential reinforcement procedure occurs when an RBT reinforces a behavior that cannot happen at the same time as a problem behavior.
What is differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI)
This measurement procedure is used when an RBT tracks whether or not a client is engaged in a behavior during the last moment of a specified interval
What is momentary time sampling
