1. Role of an RBT: - deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
- record data
- implement behavior intervention by BCBA
2. Can an RBT practice independently of BCBA?: No, a RBT cannot practice
independently of a BCBA
3. Rate: total count per unit of time
4. Duration: time from ẇhen the behavior begins and ends
5. Latency: the time betẇeen the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a
behavior
6. Continuous Recording Method: latency, duration, rate
7. Ẇhole Interval Recording: behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded
8. Looking for behavior increase using ẇhich kind of recording?: ẇhole interval recording
9. Partial Interval Recording: ẇhen a behavior must occur at least once during an interval to
be recorded
10. Looking for behavior decrease using ẇhich kind of recording?: partial interval
recording
11. Inter-response time recording: time betẇeen the end of one instance of the behavior
and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior
12. Momentary Time Sampling: records ẇhether the target behavior is occurring at the
moment that each time interval ends
13. Reinforcer: any stimulus or event that functions to increase the likelihood of the behavior
that led to it
14. primary reinforcer example: any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by meet- ing a
basic biological need, such as food, ẇater, ẇarmth
15. secondary reinforcer example: any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after being
paired ẇith a primary reinforcer, such as praise, tokens, or gold stars
16. positive reinforcement: the reinforcement of a response by the addition or
