Pearson RBT Exam 2024 Latest
Update!!!
behavior - ANSWER anything a person does that can be observed and measured
instructional control - ANSWER the likelihood your instructions elicit a correct response
from your client. you are building a history of reinforcing compliance
positive reinforcement - ANSWER the contingent presentation of a stimulus immediately
following a response that increases the likelihood of the response in the future
negative reinforcement - ANSWER the removal, termination, or postponement of a
stimulus, which increases the likelihood of the response in the future
primary/unconditioned reinforcers - ANSWER items or activities that are naturally
reinforcing. no learning takes place for these to be reinforcing
secondary/conditioned reinforcers - ANSWER items or activities that acquire reinforcing
properties when paired with primary reinforcers. learning takes place to make these
reinforcing.
positive punishment - ANSWER a consequence that follows a behavior and decreases
the rate of that behavior
negative punishment - ANSWER the act of withdrawing an event contingent on a
behavior that decreases the rate of that behavior
principles of reinforcement - ANSWER deprivation/satiation, immediacy, size,
contingency
deprivation - ANSWER the reinforcer will be more effective because the client has been
deprived of it. establishing operations
immediacy - ANSWER a reinforcer must be delivered immediately following a behavior
to make sure you are actually reinforcing that behavior.
size - ANSWER the amount of reinforcement given must be worthwhile, or appropriate
for the activity
contingency - ANSWER the reinforcer should only be delivered when a desired
behavior occurs
continuous reinforcement - ANSWER the target behavior occurs and is reinforced after
every occurrence
, intermittent reinforcement - ANSWER the target behavior occurs, and reinforcers follow
some of the occurrences
ratio - ANSWER the rate of responding/amount of responses
interval - ANSWER a set length of time
variable - ANSWER average
fixed - ANSWER set amount
token economy - ANSWER a system whereby participants earn generalized conditioned
reinforcers as a consequence for specific behaviors
extinction - ANSWER happens when the reinforcement for a previously reinforced
behavior is withheld, terminated, or removed
extinction burst - ANSWER a temporary increase in the rate of a behavior following
implementation of am extinction behavior
spontaneous recovery - ANSWER the reappearance of the "extinguished" behavior
after a period in which the behavior has not been reinforced
DRI: differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior - ANSWER reinforce behavior
incompatible with an undesirable behavior
DRA: differential reinforcement of alternative behavior - ANSWER reinforce a behavior
that is an appropriate alternative to an undesirable behavior
DRO: differential reinforcement of other behaviors - ANSWER differential reinforcement
of any behavior other than the desirable behavior
DRH: differential reinforcement of high rates of behavior - ANSWER differential
reinforcement of high rates of behavior while extinguishing low rates of behavior
DRL: differential reinforcement of low rates of behavior - ANSWER differential
reinforcement of low rates of behavior while extinguishing high rates of behavior
shaping - ANSWER the process of reinforcing gradual changes in behavior so that the
behavior begins to look like the target (desired) behavior
discrete trial - ANSWER a learning opportunity initiated and controlled by the teacher in
which the correct response will be reinforced
