6. Q: What is the RBT's primary role? ANSWERTo implement behavior
intervention plans under the supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA
7. Q: What are the three main principles of ABA? ANSWERApplied,
Behavioral, and Analytic
8. Q: What does "applied" mean in ABA? ANSWERThe behaviors targeted
for change are socially significant and relevant to the individual's life
9. Q: What does "behavioral" mean in ABA? ANSWERThe focus is on
observable and measurable behaviors
10. Q: What does "analytic" mean in ABA? ANSWERData is collected and
analyzed to demonstrate that the intervention caused the behavior change
11. Q: What is behavior? ANSWERAnything a person says or does that can
be observed and measured
12. Q: What are the four functions of behavior? ANSWERAttention,
escape/avoidance, access to tangibles, and automatic/sensory
,13. Q: What is reinforcement? ANSWERA process that increases the
likelihood that a behavior will occur again in the future
14. Q: What is punishment? ANSWERA process that decreases the
likelihood that a behavior will occur again in the future
15. Q: What is positive reinforcement? ANSWERAdding something
desirable after a behavior to increase the likelihood it will occur again
16. Q: What is negative reinforcement? ANSWERRemoving something
undesirable after a behavior to increase the likelihood it will occur again
17. Q: What is positive punishment? ANSWERAdding something
undesirable after a behavior to decrease the likelihood it will occur again
18. Q: What is negative punishment? ANSWERRemoving something
desirable after a behavior to decrease the likelihood it will occur again
19. Q: What is extinction? ANSWERWithholding reinforcement for a
previously reinforced behavior to decrease its occurrence
20. Q: What is an antecedent? ANSWERSomething that occurs before a
behavior that may trigger or set the occasion for the behavior
21. Q: What is a consequence? ANSWERSomething that occurs after a
behavior that affects the likelihood of the behavior occurring again
22. Q: What is the ABC model? ANSWERAntecedent-Behavior-
Consequence; a framework for understanding behavior
23. Q: What is a target behavior? ANSWERA specific behavior that is the
focus of a behavior change program
24. Q: What is baseline data? ANSWERData collected before intervention
begins to establish the current level of behavior
25. Q: What is generalization? ANSWERThe occurrence of a behavior in the
presence of stimuli that were not present during training
26. Q: What is maintenance? ANSWERThe continued occurrence of a
behavior after intervention has been withdrawn
27. Q: What is stimulus control? ANSWERWhen a behavior occurs in the
presence of certain stimuli but not others
28. Q: What is a discriminative stimulus (SD)? ANSWERA stimulus that
signals that reinforcement is available for a particular behavior
, 29. Q: What is shaping? ANSWERGradually changing behavior by
reinforcing successive approximations toward a target behavior
30. Q: What is chaining? ANSWERTeaching a sequence of behaviors by
linking them together
31. Q: What is forward chaining? ANSWERTeaching the first step of a chain
first, then adding subsequent steps
32. Q: What is backward chaining? ANSWERTeaching the last step of a
chain first, then adding previous steps
33. Q: What is prompting? ANSWERProviding assistance to help someone
perform a behavior correctly
34. Q: What is fading? ANSWERGradually reducing prompts to promote
independence
35. Q: What is a preference assessment? ANSWERA systematic way of
identifying items or activities that an individual finds reinforcing
36. Q: What is task analysis? ANSWERBreaking down a complex skill into
smaller, teachable steps
37. Q: What is discrete trial training (DTT)? ANSWERA structured
teaching method that breaks skills into small components taught one at a time
38. Q: What is natural environment training (NET)? ANSWERTeaching
skills in naturally occurring situations and environments
39. Q: What is incidental teaching? ANSWERUsing naturally occurring
opportunities to teach skills
40. Q: What is errorless learning? ANSWERA teaching method that
provides prompts to prevent errors from occurring
41. Q: What is error correction? ANSWERThe procedure used when a
learner makes an incorrect response
42. Q: What is mastery criteria? ANSWERThe predetermined level of
performance that indicates a skill has been learned
43. Q: What is a replacement behavior? ANSWERA more appropriate
behavior that serves the same function as a problem behavior
44. Q: What is a functional behavior assessment (FBA)? ANSWERA
process used to identify the function or purpose of a problem behavior
