A-01: Describe how to prepare for data collection
answer
Have all data sheets, materials, look at previous data, targets, SD, response criteria.
question
A-02: Implement continuous measurement procedures (e.g., frequency, duration)
answer
Continuous:
Frequency: How many times
Duration: How long did behavior occur
Rate: Frequency/Duration
question
A-03: Implement discontinuous measurement procedures (e.g., partial & whole interval, momentary time sampling)
answer
Discontinuous:
Partial Interval recording: Have a time period (1 min) broken down within 6 parts (10 seconds). Put a check if behavior happens AT ALL during interval.
Whole interval recording: Behavior has to happen for THE FULL 10 seconds.
Momentary time sampling: Only on the LAST SECOND- it can happen for 9 seconds, but if stops on 10, does not count.
question
A-04: Implement permanent product recording procedures
answer
Permanent product: Behavior's permanent effect on the environment (ex: seeing a hole punched in the wall- you don't have to see the person do it but you know they did it).
question
A-05: Enter data and update graphs.
answer
Make a graph. Label everything.
Example: Duration of minutes of on task behavior over days.
question
B-01: Define and provide examples of behavior and the environment in observable and measurable terms.
answer
Behavior: Topography, Frequency, Duration, Function, Magnitude
Environment: Time of day, Stimuli, Who is present, Where, Activity.
question
B-02: Conduct preference assessments.
answer
Forced Choice: Showing items and making them pick one
Free choice: Frequency of item picked, duration.
Preference assessment shows hierarchy of reinforcement.
question
B-03: Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures (eg., curriculum-based, developmental, social skills)
answer
Essentially do what you are told to... run programs, take data, etc.
question
B-04: Assist with functional assessment procedures.
answer
Functional assessment: finding out what the function of behavior is (ABC Data- antecedent, behavior, consequence)
question
C-01: Identify the essential components of a written skill acquisition plan.
answer
Workshop reports
question
C-02: Describe how to prepare for the session as required by the skill acquisition plan.
answer
Read the report and implement changes
question
C-03: Use contingencies of reinforcement (e.g., conditioned/unconditioned reinforcement, continuous/intermittent schedules).
answer
Unconditioned: You are born knowing this is reinforcing (food, water, warmth, sex, etc).
Conditioned: Something you have learned is reinforcing (money, token, toys). Stimulus becomes conditioned reinforcement when paired with an unconditioned reinforcement (eg- money provides food.)
{Ratio:
Fixed
FR1 (continuous)- gets reinforcement every single time
FR3 (intermittent)- gets reinforcement every 3 times
Variable
VR10 (Reinforce at 15, at 5, divided equals 10) }
{Interval:
Fixed
FI1min (reinforce every 1 min of appropriate behavior
Variable
VI10 min (reinforcing at 15th min, 5th min, etc}
question
C-04: Implement discrete trial training procedures.
answer
Sd->R->Sr
question
C-05: Implement naturalistic teaching procedures (e.g., incidental teaching)
answer
Capitalizing on opportunities that arise in natural environment
question
C-06: Implement task analyzed chaining procedures.
answer
Backwards chain: Remove one thing from all of the things (Put all toys away and remove one, make them put the last one away)
Forward chain: Have to put all the toys away
Total task: Showing all the individual steps and prompt all the way through
question
C-07: Implement discrimination training.
answer
Block Trials
Red P P P P C C C C C C
Blue P P P P C C C C C
Switch [Red P C Blue C] Independent switch
question
C-08: Implement stimulus control transfer procedures.
answer
Prompt fading and prompt delay are procedures used to transfer stimulus control from the prompt to the SD.
question
C-09: Implement stimulus fading procedures.
answer
The gradual elimination of a stimulus prompt as the behavior continues to occur in the presence of the discriminative stimulus.
question
C-10: Implement prompt and prompt fading procedures.
answer
Know when to prompt and how often, fading prompt, etc.
question
C-11: Describe how to implement generalization and maintenance procedures.
answer
Run gen programs so they are maintained, around half of sessions
question
C-12: Explain how to assist with the training of stakeholders (eg., family, caregivers, other professionals).
answer
Explaining programs to parents, listening to their suggestions, etc- but must have consent, etc.
question
D-01: Identify the essential components of a written behavior reduction plan.
answer
Define target behavior, function of behavior, setting, proactive strategies, reactive strategies, data, setting event, strategies to modify the environment
question
D-02: Describe common functions of behavior.
answer
Get/Get out (avoid (slow down to not get a ticket) escape (sweet talk out of ticket)
question
D-03: Implement interventions based on modification of antecedents such as motivation/establishing operations and discriminative stimuli.
answer
Motivating Operations:
Establishing Operation (EO) works on DEPRIVATION
Gas Light (EO) makes the gas station (SD) really reinforcing
Abolishing Operations
Tank Full (AO)
Gas Stations (S Delta)
AO makes the gas station non-reinforcing
question
D-04: Implement differential reinforcement procedures (e.g., DRA, DRO).
answer
DRI- Differential reinforcement of INCOMPATIBLE (eg cant flap hands if holding ball)
DRA Differential reinforcement of ALTERNATIVE behavior- must have same function (teach kid to ask for longer break instead of flipping table)
DRO Differntial reinforcement of OTHER behavior
Reinforcement for any behavior other than problem behavior
question
D-05: Implement extinction procedures.
answer
Extinction burst graft
question
D-06: Implement crisis/emergency procedures according to protocol.
answer
Restraint and incident report
question
E-01: Report other variables that might affect the client (e.g., illness, relocation, medication)
answer
Keep notes etc
question
E-02: Generate objective session notes by describing what occurred during sessions.
answer
No emotion, objective, etc.
question
E-03: Identify methods to effectively communicate with supervisor.
answer
Text, email, call, etc- follow up voice with written
question
E-04: Describe applicable legal, regulatory, and workplace reporting requirements (e.g., mandatory abuse and neglect reporting).
answer
Mandating reporter... if you see anything that suggests abuse or neglect, contact supervisor
question
E-05: Describe applicable legal, regulator, and workplace requirements for data collection, storage, and transportation.
answer
Don't share data or personal information, all data is stored for up to 6 years, keep all data under double lock and key
question
F-01: Describe the role of the RBT in the service delivery system.
answer
Do what they tell you to do: take data, implement written skills acquisition plan, behavior plan, assist in teaching, etc- aren't allowed to introduce new things without talking to supervisor
question
F-02: Respond appropriately to feedback and maintain or improve performance accordingly.
answer
check your ego at the door, accept criticism, etc
question
