What is the primary purpose of collecting ABC data?
To find patterns in behavior and determine a possible function.
What are 3 ways to lose instructional control?
Inconsistent follow through, lack of fun or positive interactions, too many demands and not enough fun, poor quality reinforcers

Give an example of a behavior in observable and measurable terms.
Ex: The client kicked the wall 4 times
If a client begins to engage in escape behaviors when demands are placed, what is likely the explanation?

What is the difference between the RBT's role and the BCBA's role when it comes to ABC data?

Define the difference between instructional control and compliance.
Instructional control is when an RBT develops a positive and cooperative relationship in which the learner responds because they want to. Whereas compliance training is the immediate act of following an instruction, regardless of underlying motivation
Define conditioned and unconditioned reinforcers and provide an example of each.
