Measurement
The ratio of count per observation time
Frequency
A systematic approach to determining what our clients prefer/like (what they want to work for; reinforcers)
Preference Assessment
Teaching strategy for working on specific language skills and target items in a structured, fast-paced setting. (typically occurs while seated at a table)
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)
The functions of behavior
Sensory, Escape, Attention, Tangibles
Your primary form of communication with team members
AIM email account
The total extent of time in which a behavior occurs
Duration
When the instructor places an array of items in front of the child, and allows him or her to select one. After the child plays with or consumes the item, the instructor removes it from the array.
Multiple Stimulus without Replacement (MSWO) Preference Assessment
When teaching a new skill, generally, should you use most to least prompting or least to most prompting in terms of intrusiveness?
Most to least
When reinforcement that is provided for challenging behavior (often unintentionally) is discontinued in order to decrease or eliminate occurrences of these types of behaviors.
Extinction
Where you complete your RBT coursework or other training responsibilities
Relias
The elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the initiation of a response
Latency
When the instructor places two items in front of the child, and allows him or her to select one. After the child plays with or consumes the item, the instructor presents another trial of two items
Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment
Teaching strategy for working on requesting and communication skills, play skills, social skills, transitions, self-help skills, and generalization of language skills that have been taught in the intensive environment.
Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
Decreasing inappropriate behaviors by providing reinforcing consequences to more appropriate behaviors
Where you can request time off and view the employee handbook

Multiple Stimulus with Replacement (MSW) Preference Assessment
The process of breaking a complex skill or series of behaviors into smaller, teachable units
Task Analysis
A temporary increase in the frequency, duration, or magnitude of the target response due to reinforcement being withheld
Extinction Burst
Data collection platform
Catalyst
Observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur during specified time periods
Partial Interval Recording
You are planning to do a preference assessment with Little Timmy. You know that Little Timmy has limited/developing scanning skills. Would it be better to use a Multiple Stimulus Preference Assessment or a Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment?
Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment
A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimulus
Stimulus Control
This involves providing reinforcement when an individual demonstrates an alternative behavior
