RBT COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT
EXAM 2025 BRAND NEW ACTUAL
EXAM WITH ANSWERS.
Naturalistic teaching - correct answer -the reinforcer is always
related to the item being taught. Behavior should be taught in the
environment in which it is used, the learners items and activities
of interest should set the occassion for teaching, teaching
sessions should be across a variety of settings, materials, types
of responses and verbal operants, teaching should focus on
functional language and skills
Stimulus control - correct answer -when certain aspects of the
environment impact our behaviors (ex: being quiet in a library).
Multiple exemplar training - correct answer -teaching with many
different examples of the same item or activity
Transfer trial - correct answer -when we re-present the original
SD and then use a lesser prompt than the first
, Page | 2
Error correction - correct answer -if a child begins to emit an
incorrect response, do not allow them to finish if possible. You
can prompt and show correct response as soon as you see them
answering incorrectly. Than use your transfer trial to fade out the
prompt, do a distractor trial and come back to the SD as a test to
see if they got it.
Cold Probe - correct answer -used to record whether the student
was able to independently provide the correct response upon the
first presentation of the SD (3 consecutive yes probes = mastered
skill)
Toy Imitation - correct answer -useful when teaching play skills,
start with items student has shown interest in, use two identical
sets so that teacher + student have one, SD= non specific "do
this"
Gross motor imitation - correct answer -imitation of body
movements, no materials are necessary, SD= non specific "copy
me"
Fine motor imitation - correct answer -imitation of detailed, precise
movements, may use materials, SD= non specific "do this"

Oral motor imitation - correct answer -imitation of movement of
the mouth, tongue, lips, face, head, often a prerequisite to verbal
imitation and speech, helps to shape articulations, increase
vocalizations, provides reinforcement for "pre-speech" behaviors,
helps build momentum, SD= non specific
Echoic - correct answer -repeating what was heard, auditory
SD/discriminative stimulus, the consequence is non specific
reinforcement--anything that increases the behavior that is not the
object being said
Mand - correct answer -demand, command, asking or requesting.
Asking for what one wants, then as a consequence getting it, acts
as immediate reinforcement for using communication. The
training directly benefits the learner
Tact - correct answer -coming in contact with the environment
through one of our senses. The antecedant is a nonverbal
stimulus in the environment ex: saying "popcorn" when you see
popcorn. Follow with nonspecific reinforcement
