What are the three types of recording procedures used to collect data on behavior?
Continuous measurement, discontinuous measurement, and permanent product recording.
What does ABC data stand for?
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
What is a discrete trial?
A structured teaching method with a clear beginning and end, including an SD (discriminative stimulus), response, and consequence
What is the difference between reinforcement and punishment?
Reinforcement increases behavior; punishment decreases behavior.
What is the RBT’s role in the service delivery team?
Implement behavior-analytic services under the supervision of a qualified BCBA.
Define frequency recording.
Counting how many times a behavior occurs.
What is the purpose of a preference assessment?
To identify potential reinforcers for the individual.
What does "prompt fading" mean?
Gradually removing prompts so the learner can perform the behavior independently.
What is extinction?
Withholding reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, leading to a decrease in that behavior.
Can an RBT make changes to a client’s behavior plan?
No, only a BCBA can make changes. RBTs should report data and observations.
What is the difference between partial and whole interval recording?
Partial interval records if the behavior occurred at any time during the interval; whole interval records if the behavior occurred for the entire interval.
Give an example of a stimulus preference assessment method.#MSW
Paired choice, multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO), or free operant observation
What is task analysis?
Breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable steps.
Name a proactive strategy to reduce problem behavior.
Teaching functional communication, offering choices, or modifying antecedents.
What should you do if you make a mistake during a session?
Report it to your supervisor honestly and promptly.
What are the types Continuous measurement?
rate frequency IRT DURATION LATENCY
WHAT IS THE QUICKEST PREFERENCE assessment
forced chioce
Define shaping.
Reinforcing successive approximations toward a desired behavior.
What information should be included in a session note?
Data collected, what programs were run, behavior observed, and any significant events.
WHAT ARE THE TYPE OF DISContinuous measurement
PARTIAL WHOLE MOMENTARY TIME SAMPLE
What are longer prefrance assessments
Multiple stimuli with and without replacement
Define "shaping."
Reinforcing successive approximations toward a desired behavior.
When should you report concerns about abuse or neglect?
Immediately, as mandated by law.
