Comp test

Question 1

Continuous measurement

Answer 1

records every instance a target behavior occurs during a specific time frame

Question 2

Discontinuous measurement

Answer 2

recording of behavior during certain time intervals

Question 3

frequency

Answer 3

record the number of times behavior occurs
tally marks

Question 4

duration

Answer 4

measures how long a child has a specific behavior

Question 5

latency

Answer 5

Measuring the amount of time it takes for a response

Question 6

Inter-response time IRT

Answer 6

time between responses
ex: how long it is from a behavior to the same behavior at a different point in time

Question 7

Partial interval

Answer 7

watch for certain period of time and if at ANY point they do what you’re observing record it

Question 8

Whole interval

Answer 8

if behavior happened throughout the entire designated time
ex: if child whined for the entire 30 seconds you observed

Question 9

momentary time sampling

Answer 9

if behavior is happening at that exact moment;
ex: watch timer look up when time goes off and see if behavior is occuring in that moment

Question 10

preference assessment

Answer 10

ask what do they want
watch what they do on their own free time
sample - give new reinforcers that they haven’t played with before
offer choices - give them limited items to choose from
try and see - Behavior happens > give different items as reinforcers > watch what happens> can be a reinforcer or not be one

Question 11

data and graphs

Answer 11

+ for independent - for prompt
data should be graphed before ABA, during ABA, and then after ABA
line graphs is the best graph: measures percentage and duration; frequency and rate; intensity and latency

Question 12

ABC data

Answer 12

Antecedent > Behavior > Consequence
Sd > how they responded > how did RBT respond
doesn’t always have to be a negative behavior

Question 13

Discrete trial teaching DTT

Answer 13

teaching new skills by breaking them down to simple responses

Question 14

Naturalistic teaching

Answer 14

using the environment to teach skills naturally

Question 15

Chaining

Answer 15

backwards chaining - being reinforced after they do the last step
forwards chaining -

Question 16

Shaping

Answer 16

want a child to say “juice” but accept “Juh” and then overtime stop reinforcing that and then accept the next step which is “Joo” until they say “juice”

Question 17

Discrimination Training

Answer 17

teach in isolation, add distractors, mix in mastered items; requires one response and 2 antecedent conditions (so 2 choices for them to choose from)

Question 18

Stimulus control transfer

Answer 18

when a behavior happens more in the presence of a certian stimulus rather than it’s absence

Question 19

Prompting

Answer 19

first verbal then model then physical;
least to most restrictive

Question 20

Token systems

Answer 20

first > then boards

Question 21

Crisis/emergency

Answer 21

having a crisis plan on how to prevent and respond to behaviors

Question 22

Antecedent Interventions

Answer 22

modifying environment and conditions that occur before a behavior happens so that it is less likely to happen again

Question 23

Differential reinforcement

Answer 23

reinforce certain responses but not others; only responses that are closer and closer to the target response get reinforced

Question 24

Extinction

Answer 24

no longer providing a reinforcement to the target response; responses that were reinforced are no longer reinforced

Question 25

session notes

Answer 25

a brief summary about what happened in the session

Question 26

Client dignity

Answer 26

keep their best interest in mind and treating them with respect

Question 27

Professional boundaries

Answer 27

avoid dual relationships

Question 28

Supervision requirements

Answer 28

twice a month face to face

Question 29

Clinical direction

Answer 29

A situation where I would tell my supervisor would be if a parent has a question about the treatment

Question 30

extinction burst

Answer 30

increase in behavior caused by extinction

Question 31

Functions of behavior

Answer 31

Attention, Automatic, Escape, Tangible
