RBT Competency Review Game

Measurement

100

These are ways in which an RBT can prepare to collect data:

What is: defining the target behavior, have materials ready (pencil, sheet), identifying when/what you are observing, establish this with other professionals

200

Collecting data on all responses of behavior during a data collection period

What is continuous data collection procedures BONUS: What are two examples of these?

300

These are examples of discontinuous data collection procedures (you must be able to define each of these three).

What are: partial interval, whole interval and momentary time sampling

400

This type of data collection involves looking at the impact of the behavior on the environment.

What is permanent product recording.

500

Graphs are AWESOME! These are the three ways we look at data to interpret and visually analyze the changes in data.

What are shifts in Level, Trend, and Variability BONUS: What is it called when you take data before your intervention?

Assessment

100

Ensuring the definition of a target behavior is clear enough so that all data collectors are know what they are looking for (not subjective). Hint: 2 key words

What is writing behavior objectives in observable and measurable terms.

200

This is the process of sorting a child's reinforcers into a hierarchy to see what items are most reinforcing.

Bonus: What are two types of assessments we can conduct to find out which items are most reinforcing?

What are preference assessments: paired choice, stimuli without/with replacement, free operant, single stimulus

300

The three types of individualized assessments that you may assist with as RBTs

What are: curriculum based, developmental, social skills

400

You are asked to assist with an assessment of a child's social skills. Give two meaningful ways you can do this:

What is: completing a rating scale based on your experience with the student, observe the student in their environment and describe what you see v. a typical peer (if available), probe for specific skills

500

Describe how you as an RBT will assist with Functional Assessment procedures

What is: collect ABC data, define target behaviors, describe the environment, enter data, discuss other variables that may impact behavior

Skill Acquisition

100

This type of reinforcement is used when teaching new skills and reinforcing each instance of a desired behavior.

What is continuous reinforcement. BONUS: When is intermittent reinforcement used?

200

These are required parts of a skill acquisition plan:

What is: what you are teaching, when/where you are teaching, materials needed, how to reinforce, how to progress monitor and a plan for generalization/maintenance

300

These are the four components of a discrete trial in discrete trial teaching:

What is: the discriminative stimulus (Sd), client response and the reinforcing stimulus and the intertrial interval

400

When reducing your prompts over time to increase independence this is called:

What is prompt fading

500

Stimulus discrimination training requires one behavior and two stimuli conditions. This is how the instructor teaches the student to do the behavior when one stimulus is present but not the other.

What is reinforcing the behavior in the presence of one stimuli and not reinforcing it in the presence of another. BONUS: give an example

Behavior Reduction

100

Why behavior occurs and common reasons why problem behavior occurs.

What is the function of behavior. Obtain: Attention, Tangibles, Stimulation Avoid: Attention, Task/Situation, Stimulation

200

These are examples of interventions that target modifying antecedents (must give at least 2 examples)

What are modifying the environment, clarifying expectations, changing how directions are given (e.g., High P), letting students know what they are working for.

300

These are the three instances when staff at Great Circle use a crisis response and implement physical interventions:

What is: 1) to prevent a student from injuring themselves, 2) to prevent the student from injury another student or staff, 3) to prevent extreme destruction of property

400

These are procedures where you are reinforcing other or alternative behaviors instead of the problem behavior.

What is Differential Reinforcement of Other or Alternative Behavior (DRA, DRO) BONUS: Give an example of a DRA or DRO

500

Using extinction means that a staff member is doing the following.

What is ignoring or not reinforcing a behavior that had been previously reinforced BONUS: what is it called if during extinction there is an increase in problem behavior?

Documentation and Professional Conduct

100

These are variables that may affect a client that are important to note in your objective data collection or session notes.

What are setting events: illness, relocation, medication, sleep disturbances, outside issues with family

200

This is the policy that you follow as an RBT in relation to abuse and neglect reporting.

What is a mandated reporter.

300

These are roles that an RBT has at our center.

What is the implementation of intervention plans, assist in the assessment of clients, take and enter data, follow the ethical guidelines of RBT through the BACB.

400

RBTs must follow a subset of the Guidelines of Responsible Conduct for Behavior Analysts. One example of this is: maintaining confidentiality which means...

Confidentiality: not disclosing personally identifiable information to those who it is not professionally relevant. Do not discuss in public or share with staff members that do not have a need to know for programming. 

500

Informing clients of their rights, involving them in treatment decisions, obtaining informed consent, considering client needs and wants, not talking about clients in front of them- these are all examples of....

What is how to maintain client dignity.
