RBT Oral Competancy

Question 1

Continuous Measurement

Answer 1

Continuous data collection methods measure every occurrence of a behavior

Question 2

Discontinuous Measurement

Answer 2

A form of time sampling measurement that does not catch every instance of behavior

Question 3

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

Answer 3

uses direct instruction and reinforcers to create clear contingencies that shape new skills

Question 4

Naturalistic Training or Incidental Training

Answer 4

When you implement teaching procedures in a natural environment

Question 5

Chaining

Answer 5

breaks a task down into small steps and then teaches each step within the sequence by itself

Question 6

Shaping

Answer 6

each approximate desired behavior that is demonstrated is reinforced, while behaviors that are not approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced

Question 7

Ex of Shaping:

Answer 7

when a baby or a toddler learns to walk. They are reinforced for crawling, then standing, then taking one step, then taking a few steps, and finally for walking

Question 8

Discrimination Training

Answer 8

ABA technique therapists use to teach learners to differentiate between stimuli

Question 9

Ex of Discrimination Training:

Answer 9

by the presentation of the desired item to teach, for example; a shoe. The child is then taught to select the shoe when the direction is placed to touch the shoe. As success shows, the child is then asked to select the shoe when next to a spoon and a toy

Question 10

Stimulus Control Transfer

Answer 10

techniques in which prompts are discontinued using prompt fading or prompt delay once the target behavior is being displayed in the presence of the SD

Question 11

Antecedent Interventions

Answer 11

strategies that involve modifying the environment to reduce undesirable behaviors

Question 12

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

Answer 12

(Eliminating a behavior) a procedure for decreasing problem behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times

Question 13

DRO Example:

Answer 13

Child will receive a sticker for each 15 minute interval that he does not talk to his neighbor

Question 14

Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI)

Answer 14

(Substituting a behavior) reduces a behavior by increasing incompatible behaviors and focusing on reinforcing the opposite of the undesired behavior

Question 15

DRI Example:

Answer 15

Child will receive a sticker every time he uses his inside voice instead of an outside voice

Question 16

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)

Answer 16

(Increasing a behavior) Increases a behavior by reinforcing appropriate behaviors and focuses on developing alternative functional behaviors

Question 17

DRA Example:

Answer 17

Child will raise their hand before speaking consecutively for 5 days

Question 18

Differential Reinforcement of Low Rates of Responding (DRL)

Answer 18

(Reduces a behavior) Reduces a behavior to acceptable levels by focusing on reducing the number of occurrences

Question 19

DRL Example:

Answer 19

Child will get a sticker for reducing the number of questions they ask during reading time from 10 questions to 5

Question 20

Extinction Procedures

Answer 20

an intervention that makes a behavior occur less often or stop occurring altogether

Question 21

Extinction Procedure Ex:

Answer 21

when a child begins engaging in tantrum behavior for attention, rather than giving them attention, staff ignores the behavior to reduce the behavior from further happening

Question 22

Client Dignity Ex:

Answer 22

showing respect at all times, maintaining privacy and confidentiality, and communicating effectively and professionally

Question 23

Answer 23
