RBT Competency Assessment Study Guide with Complete Solutions Indirect Measurement - Correct Answer️️ -interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys Direct Measurement - Correct Answer️️ -observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs Behavioral Definitions - Correct Answer️️ -operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective + unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good) Operational - Correct Answer️️ -describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can recognize + record the same behavior Indirect Outcome Recording - Correct Answer️️ -measures results that produces an observable product in the environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use Direct Outcome Recording - Correct Answer️️ -instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the behavior occurs or as it produces results Event Recording - Correct Answer️️ -behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period, and each instance of the behavior is recorded immediately as it TITLE: EMILLYCHARLOTTE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC PERIOD OWNER: EMILLYCHARLOTTE COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: ©2024 EMILLYCHARLOTTE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 2024 2/14 occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the behavior look the same every time? Does the behavior have a clear beginning and end? Frequency Recording - Correct Answer️️ -used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number of times the behavior occurs Intensity - Correct Answer️️ -magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you are trying to change) Duration - Correct Answer️️ -how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a behavior lasts Latency - Correct Answer️️ -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 - Correct Answer️️ -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 - Correct Answer️️ -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 ends, when it occurs at such a high rate it is difficult to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this method to increase behavior. TITLE: EMILLYCHARLOTTE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC PERIOD OWNER: EMILLYCHARLOTTE COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: ©2024 EMILLYCHARLOTTE.

Ex: setting a timer to go off every minute for a 30 minute interval, only checking for behavior and marking it down as the timer goes off. Reinforcement - Correct Answer️️ -follows a behavior that increases that behavior Punishment - Correct Answer️️ -follows a behavior that decreases that behavior Positive Reinforcement - Correct Answer️️ -addition of a pleasant stimulus Negative Reinforcement - Correct Answer️️ -removal of an aversive stimulus Positive Punishment - Correct Answer️️ -addition of an aversive stimulus Negative Punishment - Correct Answer️️ -removal of a pleasant stimulus Motivating Operations - Correct Answer️️ -Variables in the environment that alter the relative value of a particular reinforcer at a particular time. Deprivation - Correct Answer️️ -when a person hasn't had access to a particular reinforcer for a significant period of time, makes it more potent Immediacy - Correct Answer️️ -the time between the
