Measurement
An RBT records whether a behavior occurred at any point during 10-second intervals. This is:
What is partial- interval recording?
Reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior.
What is shaping?
Manipulating the environment to minimize the likelihood of problem behavior, giving the learner choices throughout the session, or beginning with high- probability task demands prior to placing demands with lesser likelihood of success are all examples of:
What are antecedent interventions (proactive strategies)
True or False: an RBT may independently conduct a functional behavior assessment for a new participant.
What is false: an RBT may assist with implementation of an FBA but it is thew responsibility of the RBT supervisor to generate the FBA components.
This dimension ensures behavior is observable and measurable.
What is behavioral?
An instructor is attempting to decrease the time a learner takes between questions during a test. They are attempting to target decreasing:
What is IRT?
A learner is taught to request items during play instead of at a table. This is:
What is NET?
Reinforcing a learner after a set period in which a specific behavior does not occur is known as:
What is DRO?
True or false: An RBT may have a platonic friendship with a former client immediately upon terminating services.
True: The minimum two-year period is in regard to romantic relationships.
A program includes step-by-step instructions so any RBT could run it the same way.
What is technological?
Two instructor's track occurrences of a target behavior over 10 intervals. They then compare their results. This is an example of:
What is IOA?
A learner masters a skill in DTT but does not use it at home or school. This key dimension of ABA is missing.
What is generalization?
A behavior temporarily increases in intensity and frequency after extinction is implemented. This is known as:
What is an extinction burst?
The guardian of your client has asked you to house sit with the client present. This would breach the RBT code of ethics due to:
What is a dual relationship?
A learner masters a skill during sessions with one RBT but does not demonstrate it with other staff or in different settings. Which dimension is lacking?
What is generality?
This instance of data collection does not actually observe the behavior as it occurs but, instead, looks at the results of the behavior.
What is permanent product?
A skill is broken into steps, and the RBT teaches the LAST step first, completing the rest for the learner.
What is backward chaining?
A learner has a behavior that has successfully become extinct after consistent interventions from staff. However, several months after the intervention has concluded, the same behavior begins to resurface. This is called:
What is spontaneous recovery?
An RBT works 120 direct hours in a month. The percentage that must be under direct supervision is:
What is a minimum of 6 hours?
A program targets a behavior that is easy to measure but not important to the client’s daily life. Which dimension is being neglected?
What is applied?
This form of discontinuous data collection tends to overestimate occurrences of its target behavior.
What is whole- interval data collection.
A learner is taught to say “water” when thirsty. Over time, they begin saying “drink,” “juice,” and “I want something to drink” without direct teaching. This is an example of:
What is response generalization?
Response cost is an example of:
What is negative punishment?
True or false: The parent of a client you serve has cooked a large meal during an in-home session that falls on a religious holiday. The meal is a custom of their culture and, once you arrive, they encourage you to eat with them while you are running session. Assuming this is the first time the client's family has asked you to join for dinner, would eating with them be considered an ethical violation?
What is no- RBTs are required to be culturally responsive and are allowed an occasional gift up to $10.
Data shows behavior change, but it’s unclear whether the intervention caused the change or if other variables were responsible. Which dimension is weak?
What is analytic?
