Questions & Answers
Role of an RBT - ANSWER - deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
- record data
- implement behavior intervention by BCBA
Can an RBT practice independently of BCBA? - ANSWER No, a RBT cannot practice
independently of a BCBA
Rate - ANSWER total count per unit of time
Duration - ANSWER time from when the behavior begins and ends
Latency - ANSWER the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence
of a behavior
Continuous Recording Method - ANSWER latency, duration, rate
Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER behavior must occur for the entire interval to be
recorded
Looking for behavior increase using which kind of recording? - ANSWER whole interval
recording
Partial Interval Recording - ANSWER when a behavior must occur at least once during
an interval to be recorded
Looking for behavior decrease using which kind of recording? - ANSWER partial interval
recording
Inter-response time recording - ANSWER time between the end of one instance of the
behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior
Momentary Time Sampling - ANSWER records whether the target behavior is occurring
at the moment that each time interval ends
Reinforcer - ANSWER any stimulus or event that functions to increase the likelihood of
the behavior that led to it
primary reinforcer example - ANSWER any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by
meeting a basic biological need, such as food, water, warmth
, secondary reinforcer example - ANSWER any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after
being paired with a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens, or gold stars
positive reinforcement - ANSWER the reinforcement of a response by the addition or
experiencing of a pleasurable stimulus
differential reinforcement - ANSWER reinforcing a desired replacement behavior with
withholding or masking reinforcement for an undesirable stereotypic behavior
negative reinforcement - ANSWER the reinforcement of a response by the removal,
escape from, or avoidance of an unpleasant stimulus

through the actions of another person such as praise, attention, approval, and /or
affection from others
Social Positive Reinforcement - ANSWER adding something
Social Negative Reinforcement - ANSWER taking away
Punisher - ANSWER any stimulus or event that functions to decrease the likelihood of
the behavior that led to it
Stimulus - ANSWER a signal to which an organism responds
ABC recording - ANSWER The preferred method to use for behavioral assessment to
determine which behavior to target for change is:
ABC stands for - ANSWER - Antecedent
- Behavior
- Consequences
Behavior - ANSWER the activity of living organisms; human behavior includes
everything that people do.
Antecedent - ANSWER a stimulus that occurs before the behavior
Consequence - ANSWER a stimulus that occurs after the behavior
