Bt exam Flashcards
If the client is HRE, they are demonstrating assent.
True
Identify the type of reinforcement: A child says “cookie,” and their mother gives them a cookie, the frequency that they will say “cookie” is increased in the future
Positive Reinforcement
How often do you collect rate data?
Every occurrence of the target behavior
Identify the type of reinforcement: A child covers their ears when the music is too loud, the sound is reduced, and the frequency of them covering their ears increases in the future.
Negative Reinforcement
Time Sampling data includes only recording data at the end of interval, and instances occurring outside of the end of the interval are not counted.
True

Following this set G->P->F of prompts across trials is using the _______.
Least to Most Prompt Hierarchy

STEAM
- True/False: Antecedent and consequent intervention strategies are separated into groups based on when the intervention is implemented, either before the interfering behavior begins or after it begins.
True
Best practices for recording data include:
Knowing what type of data to take, being trained on how to collect that data, recording data immediately, & recording data only observed by you
How often is data collected for learning opportunities?
Every presented learning opportunity
Awarding one (1) star for every correct target behavior and collecting five (5) stars to earn 30 minutes of TV time is an example of using a:
Token Economy
Turning away, whining, and trying to leave the table may indicate the client is:
withdrawing their assent
NET is:
Natural Environment Teaching: meaning you are teaching in the context that the behavior is most likely to occur naturally
You do NOT need to contact your Supervising Clinician to report new interfering, high-intensity, or dangerous behaviors during the session.
False
Identify the possible behavior function(s): A client is playing with an iPad, the BT presents work, and the client runs away and hides with the iPad.
Escape and access to tangibles
In a task analysis, you break big complex skills into individual steps in order to teach.

Model, Gesture, Full Physical, Partial Physical, and Vocal
Your client should be in HRE during client-led and BT-led time.
True
Observing what the client most frequently gravitates toward in the natural environment is an example of what type of preference assessment?

maintenance
What preference assessment are you most likely to use in a session?
Free Operant and asking the client or caregiver

All of the above
How often is data collected for learning opportunities?

Your client will need to perform skills independently

Manding

You make some observations about your client that lead you to believe that they may be being abused. You should immediately contact your Supervising Clinician and make a Mandated Report.
True
Identify the possible function(s): A client says, “I want a cookie and a snuggle,” and their mother gives them a cookie and hugs them.
Access to tangibles and attention
When you tally every instance of a target behavior in an observation period, you collect ___ data.
Frequency
A Behavior Technician breaks down working on the terminal behavior of saying “ball” first into “b,” then “ba,” and then finally works on “ball.” This is an example of _____.
Shaping
You help your client with every step of a task analysis for washing hands except for the last step of throwing away the paper towel you are using:
Backward Chaining
Differential Reinforcement without Extinction consists of the following:
Both interfering behaviors and alternative behaviors both receive reinforcement but alternative appropriate behaviors receive better reinforcement.

What type of data includes recording the entire target behavior from beginning to end with a stopwatch?
Duration
