Day 2
What is the first step to gaining instructional control
Pairing
What does ABC stand for?
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
What is the prompt hierarchy from most to least?
Full physical, Partial Physical, Model, Gesture
Full Verbal, Partial Verbal
What are the 4 functions of behavior?
*Bonus* Give an example of each
Sensory (automatic), Escape (avoidance), Attention, Access to Tangibles (sometimes just 'access' sometimes just "tangibles")
What percentage of hours do RBT's need supervised each month?
5%
What is behavior?
Anything an organism does
Action
Observable and measurable
What is the difference between DTT and NET?
DTT is led by the therapist, NET is led by the learner. DTT is more structured with a clear SD, Response, Consequence where NET is more naturalistic in the learners natural environment.
You have a learner that is learning to tie their shoes with a task analysis in 10 steps. You use a full physical prompt for steps 1-6, step 7 you use a gestural prompt, and steps 8-10 are independent. What type of chaining is this?
Backwards Chain
You start intervention for extinction procedures for a learner's behavior of spitting water while at the sink in the bathroom. You remove reinforcement by not giving the learner attention when he spits. The learner then spits more frequently and for longer durations while at the sink. What is this an example of?
Extinction burst
X axis - time or date
Y axis - behavior (frequency, duration, rate %, % correct, etc)
Who created the verbal operants?
B.F. Skinner
Scenario: You have a learner that is very overstimulated in a loud room. He asks to leave the room. You leave the room you were in to increases the likelihood he will continue to ask when he wants to go. What is this an example of?
Negative Reinforcement
You reinforce your learner after 2 minutes of work, then after 3 minutes of work, then after 1 minute of work. What schedule of reinforcement is this?
Variable Interval 2 (VI2)
Generalized reinforcer: smiley face token
Backup reinforcer: going outside
What are a few ways you can maintain client dignity in the center?
EX: wipe their nose, pull up their pants, change if their clothes get dirty, crack the door in the bathroom for privacy, etc.
Name all 6 verbal operants
*Bonus* Give an example of each
Mand, Echoic, Imitation, Listener Responding, Tact, Intraverbal
You are taking data on how many times your learner has a tantrum, in a 45 minute time frame. What type of measurement is this?
Rate
You first start reinforcing your learner for transitioning holding hands for 1 foot, then for 3 feet, then for 5 feet, then 10 feet, until your learner is transitioning throughout the center with you holding hands. What is this process referred to as?
Shaping
Your BCBA wants you to utilize establishing operations with your learner for their reinforcer of play doh. Rather than giving them unlimited access to play doh, you limit them to only getting play doh every 4 therapy rooms. What term is used to describe limiting access to a reinforcer to keep it special?
Deprivation
Name some professional boundaries RBT's are required to follow.
Not accepting gifts over $10 from parents/learners, no dual relationships (ex: hanging out with them after work), etc.
Name all 7 preference assessments
*Bonus* Give an example of each
Interview with Learner, Interview with Parent, Free Operant, Single Stimulus, Paired Choice, Multiple Stimulus with Replacement, Multiple Stimulus without Replacement
You are tracking hand flapping in 3 minute intervals. You will track the hand flapping as occurring if it occurs for part of the interval. What type of measurement is this?
Partial Interval Recording
Your learner wants a Lego. You hold a Lego up and say "Say Lego" and the learners echos "Lego". You wait and do not give the Lego yet. When the learner repeats "Lego" the second time, you give the Lego and respond "Great job asking for Lego". What are you utilizing here?
Stimulus Control Transfer - Echoic to Mand (Immediate Transfer)
Sally starts running away from you to go outside every time she wants to play. You start reinforcing Sally for instead asking to go outside and stop reinforcing her when she elopes away. What type of differential reinforcement is this?
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors
Your learners parent asks you to stop using DTT and use more NET. What should you do?
Let them know you will speak with your BCBA and they will reach out to them. It is not an RBT's role to make any changes to programming, always defer to the BCBA
