RBT EXAM PREP QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED TO PASS

Frequency - Count of each instance Duration - Time spent engaged in single instance of target behavior Latency - Time from onset of stimulus to onset of response discontinuous measurement procedures - Recording a sample of instances of the target behavior according to predetermined schedule (e.g., momentary time sampling, partial interval, etc.) Partial interval recording - Recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in time in a predetermined interval permanent product recording procedures - Recording performance of a skill based on observing a finished product, not the actual performance of the skill preference assessments - Conducting formal assessment(s) to determine client preferences for various items/activities and/or implementing informal "preference checks" throughout sessions to ensure motivation remains high Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement - Items are presented in an array and the client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement interval, the array is presented again without the already selected item(s) and the client selects again. Process continues until all items are chosen or client stops choosing items. The FULL array is presented 3-5 times and selection percentage is calculated to give preference gradient. ABC Data - Data recorded on the immediate antecedent and consequence for observed instances of target behavior Rating Scale - Structured assessment form with questions regarding various functions of challenging behavior used to identify likely function(s) to be completed by primary caregivers and others familiar with client Reinforcement - The process of providing a reinforcer contingent on the client engaging in a behavior that you want to increase Reinforcer - A stimulus (item, activity, statement, etc.) that, when provided immediately after a response, results in an increase in the future frequency of that response Unconditioned Reinforcer - A stimulus that requires no learning history to have reinforcing value Fixed Ratio (FR) Reinforcement - A reinforcer follows a fixed number of responses Variable Ratio (VR) Reinforcement - A reinforcer follows a variable number of responses Fixed Interval (FI) Reinforcement - A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement Variable Interval (VI) Reinforcement - A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a variable amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement Mass Trials - Trials of the same task/program are presented repeatedly for a set number of trials Mixed Trials - Trials from various tasks/ programs are presented in random order for a set number of trials or a set amount of time naturalistic teaching procedures - intentionally setting up teaching procedures to be implemented in the natural context for the skill being targeted Natural Environment Teaching - The planned/contrived use of behavioral strategies in the client's everyday environment Incidental Teaching - Implementation of behavioral strategies in the client's everyday environment as opportunities naturally arise Task Analysis - Set of successive component steps, in small, teachable units, that comprise a complex behavior Forward Chaining - Training the 1st step in the chain to fluency while prompting all successive steps. Successive steps are targeted for acquisition as the previous step reaches fluency. Backward Chaining - Training the last step in the chain to fluency while prompting all preceding steps. Preceding steps are targeted for acquisition as the successive step reaches fluency. Total Task Presentation - Training all steps in the chain at the same time Stimulus Control - When a particular response occurs more frequently in the presence of one stimulus (or stimuli set) than in the presence of another stimulus (or stimuli set) Transfer of control - Performance established at one time in one place now occurs in a different time and place Prompt - An additional stimulus paired with the SD/instruction that brings about correct responding. Most-to-least prompting (MtL) - Type of prompt hierarchy beginning with most intrusive prompt required to gain correct responding and fading out as success is observed
