Measurment
Captures ALL moments of behavior.
Ex. Latency, Duration, IRT, Frequency
What is Continuous Measurment
a form of preference assessments where the client is observed interacting with items/activities in the environment around them, and observing how long they interact with each item/activity.
What is Free Operant
A structured, teacher led methodology used to teach new behaviors in a three part teaching unit.
What is Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT)
Assistance or help provided to the client to engage in the target behavior.
What is Prompting
Reinforcing one response class and withholding reinforcement from another response class.
What is Differential Reinforcement
Session notes must always be _____________ meaning we can not add our own feelings to them.
Objective
The time from when an Sd is delivered to the target behavior occurring.
What is Latency
The client is given a choice between two items.
What is Paired/Forced Choice
A loosely structured, client led teaching methodology that contrives a learner's motivation from the natural environment around them.
What is Natural Environment Teaching (NET)
Provides information about the client, their behaviors, emergency protocols, toileting schedule, food schedule, allergies, reinforcers, etc.
What is a Behvaior Support Plan (BSP)
Reinforcing behaviors that occur at a high/low rate.
What is Differential Reinforcement of High/Low Rate Behaviors (DRH/DRL)
Name 2 examples of client dignity.
If a client is in the bathroom or disrobing, make sure no one can see them
- Do not talk about a client in front of them as though they were not there.
-Do not talk down to clients, treat them with respect and kindness
- Do not bring personal views into therapy and try to influence your client about different things
- Be compassionate
- Communicate with stakeholders (parents, guardians, teachers, the clients) when there is an urgent matter
The time between the end of one behavior to the beginning of the next.
What is Inter-Response Time (IRT)
A client is presented with one choice for reinforcement.
What is Single Stimulus.
A complex skill broken down into steps. Each step functions as the Sd for the next step, while also serving as reinforcement for the previous step.
Ex. Chaining (Forward, Backward and Total Task)
What is Task Analysis
Stopping reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior is known as ______ which can lead to an _______ _______, which can be described as the increase in the intensity/rate of a behavior when the behavior no longer results in the usual reinforcer that maintains it over time.
What is Extinction and Extinction Burst
Reinforcing all other behaviors except for the specific target behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors (DRO)
Name 2 ways to maintain professional boundaries.
- Avoid dual relationships
- Follow the BSP
- Don't post about clients or their families on social media.
- Communicate with stakeholders and client's team
Recording if the behavior occurred at least once at any part of the interval.
What is Partial Interval Recording.
A client is presented with an array of items. The client selects one item. The other items are then replaced, and the chosen item is placed back into the array to see if they will choose it again.
What is Multiple Stimulus WITH Replacement
The teaching method used for the Task Analysis.
Ex. Forward, Backward, Total Task
What is Chaining
Implementing interventions based on modifications to the MO and Sd to evoke or prevent behaviors.
What is an Antecedent Intervention
Reinforcing a socially equal and alternative behavior to the target behavior, that serves the same function as the target behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors (DRA)
RBTs are required to receive supervision each month for __% of their billable hours (time they work with their clients)
5%
Recording if a behavior occurs at a specific moment of observation, specifically at the end of an interval.
What is Momentary Time Sampling.
The client is presented an array of items. The client selects an item. They choose another item from the same array. Each item is ranked in a hierarchy from most to least favorite.
What is Multiple Stimulus WITHOUT Replacement
A process where the RBT reinforces successive approximations of the target behavior.
What is Shaping
The process by which prompts are removed once the target behavior is occurring in the presence of the Sd.
What is Stimulus Control Transfer
Reinforcing all behaviors that cannot happen simultaneously with the target behavior.
What is Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviors (DRI)
Name 2 examples of a time when you would seek clinical direction.
- When you have questions about a client or their BSP
- A client engages in a new behavior
- Stakeholders communicate something important to you about the client at pick-up or drop off
- You need supervision
