RBT Competency Assessment

RBT Competency Assessment Indirect Measurement - Answer ️️ -interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys Direct Measurement - Answer ️️ -observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs Behavioral Definitions - Answer ️️ -operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective + unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good) Operational - Answer ️️ -describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can recognize + record the same behavior Indirect Outcome Recording - Answer ️️ -measures results that produces an observable product in the environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use Direct Outcome Recording - Answer ️️ -instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the behavior occurs or as it produces results Event Recording - Answer ️️ -behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period, and each instance of the behavior is recorded immediately as it occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the behavior look the same every time? Does the behavior have a clear beginning and end? Frequency Recording - Answer ️️ -used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number of times the behavior occurs Intensity - Answer ️️ -magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you are trying to change) Duration - Answer ️️ -how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a behavior lasts Latency - Answer ️️ -time that occurs between the SD and the response (ex. how long to respond to a peer's question). You record this when the goal is to decrease the time between SD and response Partial Interval Recording - Answer ️️ -involves checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at ANY point within the interval - even if it only occured for 1 second. You can use this for self- stimulatory behaviors or behaviors that don't look the same every time. An overexaggeration of the behavior, you use this method to decrease behavior. Whole Interval Recording - Answer ️️ -involves checking off the interval if the behavior occurs throughout the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell when the behavior begins or
