RBT PRACTICE EXAM/RBT PRACTICE EXAM:QUALITY
DOCUMENTS /A+ GRADE.
Differential Reinforcement - CORRECT ANSWERS -Reinforcing one response class
and withholding reinforcement from another response class.
Behavior receiving reinforcement should increase while the behavior for which
reinforcement is being withheld should decrease.
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors - CORRECT ANSWERS -DRO -
Providing a reinforcer after a particular time frame without the target behavior.
For example engaging in any other behavior except the target behavior.
(i.e. every 5 minutes without hitting, individual receives a sticker)
Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding - CORRECT ANSWERS -
Entails reinforcing for reductions in the frequency of the undesired behavior.
Often used when individual is engaging in a behavior too frequently.
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behaviors - CORRECT ANSWERS -DRA -
Focus on increasing a desirable alternative behavior that directly or indirectly interferes
with the performance of the undesired target behavior.
(i.e. reinforce knitting or giving a self manicure instead of biting nails; reinforce
appropriate language instead of punishing swearing at others)
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behaviors - CORRECT ANSWERS -DRI -
Similar to DRA but you choose and alternative behavior to reinforce that, if performed,
would be incompatible with the undesired target behavior.
(i.e. playing nicely vs. fighting; on task behavior vs. off task behavior; in seat vs. out of
seat; deep breathing vs. yelling)
Discrete Trial Training - CORRECT ANSWERS -DTT - Structured instructional
methodology used to teach new behaviors
Designed to maximize a learner's potential by presenting information in a three-part
teaching unit.
Based on Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence format.
A - B - C (Stimulus - Response - Consequence)
Main objective is to teach children how to learn from their natural environment and
make learning reinforcing.
Errorless Learning - CORRECT ANSWERS -Teaching procedures that are designed in
such a way that the learning does not have to - and does not - make mistakes as she or
he learns new information or procedures.
DTT is Errorless Learning.
Skinnner: "Errors are not necessary for learning to occur."
,Discriminative Stimulus (SD) - CORRECT ANSWERS -Used in DTT: Environmental cue
or instruction that signals that reinforcement is available for a target behavior.
Response (R) - CORRECT ANSWERS -Used in DTT: The behavior in which an
individual engages. 4 types of response:
1. Correct
2. Incorrect
3. Non-Response
4. Prompted
Reinforcing Stimulus (SR) - CORRECT ANSWERS -Used in DTT: The consequence
following the individual's response that changes the future likelihood with which the
behavior will recur.
Reinforcement should be given for a correct response.
Should be delivered immediately (0 - 5 seconds is ideal).
Inter-Trial Interval - CORRECT ANSWERS -The time interval between presentation of
the consequence for one trial and the presentation of the SD for the next trial.
Prompt Hierarchy - CORRECT ANSWERS -The so called "pyramid" of the various
levels of prompting.
We need to establish a hierarchy of prompts from the least to most or most to least
intrusive for each instructional task.
Transfer of Stimulus Control - CORRECT ANSWERS -Process by which prompts are
removed once the target behavior is occurring in the presence of the SD.
Prompt Fading - CORRECT ANSWERS -The gradual elimination of a stimulus prompt
as the behavior continues to occur in the presence of the SD.
Ethical - CORRECT ANSWERS -Pertaining to right and wrong in conduct. Being in
accordance with the rules or standards for right conduct or practice
Feedback and Reflection - CORRECT ANSWERS -Respond appropriately to feedback
and maintain or improve performance. Take feedback and be a reflective practitioner.
Communication - CORRECT ANSWERS -Communication with stakeholders as
authorized.
Follow protocol of how to communicate.
Communicate effectively with all team members.
Professional Boundaries - CORRECT ANSWERS -Avoid dual relationships, conflicts of
interest, social media contacts. Always take notes.
Client Dignity - CORRECT ANSWERS -Be respectful and thoughtful about the client's
needs and wants.
, Never do or say anything to cause embarrassment to the client.
Do not do something in front of your client that you would not do if working with a typical
developing child.
How to Prepare for Data Collection - CORRECT ANSWERS -1. Read data from last
session
2. Prepare material and programs for current session based on data from last session.
3. Determine what programs you plan to work on during the session.
4. Gather materials for those programs.
5. Set up the first set of programs so they are ready for the client when you begin your
session.
The Role of the RBT in the Service Delivery System - CORRECT ANSWERS -
Implement measurement, assessment, skill acquisition, behavior reduction,
documentation and reporting, and maintain professional conduct in the scope of the
practice under the direct supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA.
RBT Assisting with Individual Assessment Procedures - CORRECT ANSWERS -The
RBT can interview stakeholders, gather baseline data by observing the client's
behaviors in his/her natural environment, or probe client by asking them to perform a
task we are unsure they can perform without providing assistance.
Dealing with Stakeholders - CORRECT ANSWERS -The RBT should only communicate
with stakeholders as authorized by the supervisor. Any specific questions should be
deferred to the BCBA or BCaBA. If you do communicate you must be objective, use
behavioral language, avoid speculation, stick to topic appropriate for an RBT.
Assist Training Stakeholders - CORRECT ANSWERS -RBT can assist with training
stakeholders by giving them instruction, modeling, rehearsal, and feedback with regard
to behavioral skills training.
Report Other Variables - CORRECT ANSWERS -illness, relocation or change in
medication.
Components of a Written Behavior Plan - CORRECT ANSWERS -1. Identify, describe,
create a goal for a behavior in observable terms.
2. Assess antecedent/consequence that may maintain behavior.
3. Identify hypothesis of function of behavior.
4. Identify possible replacement behaviors.
5. Select and implement antecedent/consequence based interventions.
6. Create crisis intervention plan.
7. Implementation, modification, generalization and maintenance procedures.
Skill Acquisition Plan - CORRECT ANSWERS -7 Components
1. Identify the skill deficit
2. Create a goal to address the deficit
