Data collection and Graphing
A therapist records the amount of time between one occurrence of a behavior and the next occurrence.
What is inter response time
In this preference assessment, two items are presented at a time and every possible combination is tested.
What is paired stimulus
A token that can later be exchanged for backup reinforcers is this type of reinforcer.
What is a conditioned reinforcer
Teaching a learner to request a break instead of engaging in aggression maintained by escape.
What is functional communication training (FCT)
An RBT begins implementing a procedure they have never been trained to use.
What is providing services outside of competence
This measurement procedure records behavior if it occurs at any point during the interval.
What is partial interval recording
This assessment allows the learner to freely interact with available items while the therapist records engagement.
What is free operant
A teaching procedure involving an SD, learner response, consequence, and intertrial interval.
What is discrete trial teaching
Reinforcing any interval in which a target behavior does not occur.
What is differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO)
An RBT discusses a client's behavior in a crowded restaurant.
What is a confidentiality violation
A learner engaged in 20 instances of aggression during a 2-hour session. The measure calculated by dividing behavior count by observation time is called this.
What is rate
A VB-MAPP is an example of this type of assessment.
What is a curriculum-based assessment
A learner completes every step of handwashing each session while receiving assistance only as needed.
A learner receives attention every 2 minutes regardless of behavior.
What is non-contingent reinforcement (NCR)
An RBT posts on social media that they "cured" a client.
What is an inappropriate public statement/misrepresentation of outcomes
A graph shows data steadily increasing across sessions.
What is a positive trend
Unlike descriptive assessments, this assessment directly manipulates environmental variables to identify behavioral function.
What is a functional analysis
A therapist gradually removes a visual cue until the learner responds independently.
What is stimulus fading
A temporary increase in problem behavior after reinforcement is withheld.
What is an extinction burst
A family offers an RBT an expensive vacation package as a thank-you gift.
What is a potential ethics violation related to gift acceptance and multiple relationships?
When data is inaccurate or collected inconsistently, treatment decisions based on those data may be incorrect. This is a risk associated with poor __?
What is procedural fidelity/ reliability
This preference assessment lowers the size of the array after preferred is selected
What is multiple stimulus without replacement
Reinforcement delivered after an average of 5 responses.
What is a variable ratio schedule (VR-5)
When a learner previously stopped engaging in a behavior but it reappears after a period of time.
What is spontaneous recovery
A therapist receives instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback from a supervisor.
What is Behavioral Skills Training (BST)
