RBT Exam Prep Exam Explanations 2023

1. Multiple Exemplar Training: Using many different stimuli to teach a skill to promote generalization. 2. Phase Change Line: demonstrates a change in conditions on a graph 3. Solid Vertical Line: Represents a phase change line on a graph 4. 3-Step Discrimination Training Procedure: teach in isolation, add distracters, mix in mastered items 5. Generalization: Can occur through different settings, SDs and stimuli 6. Functions of behavior: Access to tangibles, access to attention, escape/avoid- ance, automatic 7. Conditioned Reinforcer: anything that is paired with a primary reinforcer 8. Unconditioned Reinforcer: things such as food and shelter that are inherently reinforcing 9. Forward Chaining: teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the first step 10. Backward Chaining: teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the last step 11. Duration: The amount of time/length that a behavior occurs for 12. Frequency/Rate: The number of times a behavior/ response occurs per unit of time 13. Latency: The length of time between an initial instruction and a learner's response 14. Stimulus Control: A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimuli. 15. DRA: A procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished. 16. DRI: a procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior, and which is incompatible with that challenging behavior, is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished. 17. DRO: is a procedure for decreasing challenging behavior in which reinforce- ment is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times. 18. Extinction: A procedure in which a behavior that was previously reinforced is no longer reinforced and the rate of behavior decreases
