Practice Questions and In-Depth Answers |
100% Correct (Verified)
• Continuous Measurement -✓✓measurements taken throughout the entire session
examples of C.M:
-frequency data (count behavior)
-duration data (time behavior)
-latency data (time between instruction/prompt and response)
-interresponse time (IRT) data (time between two behaviors)
• How is Discontinuous Measurement different from Continuous Measurement? -
✓✓Continuous measurement data taking take occurs throughout the session,
discontinuous measurement is when you take data during a specific part of the session.
• Discontinuous Measurement (Time Sampling) -✓✓Observing and recording behavior
that takes place in a certain time frame
examples of D.M:
-partial interval (the behavior counts so long as it occurs within the interval)
-whole interval (behavior counts if behavior lasts throughout the whole interval)
-momentary time sampling (behavior counts if the behavior occurs at the end of the
interval )
these measurements tend to over or underestimate the rate of the target behavior
because of the way it is measured--- artifact data
• What is the most common graph used in ABA? -✓✓line graph
• How often should we graph data? -✓✓Ideally, after every session.
• What goes on the x-axis? -✓✓Time
• What goes on the y-axis? -✓✓Behavior
• Role-play graphing data -✓✓Trend: increase, decrease, mastery, no trend
Average: sum of occurrences/ # of occurrences
• What is your role as an RBT -✓✓- assist in the data collection for the behavior
intervention plan that is made by the BCBA
-implement those behavior interventions ethically and accurately
-communicate with the BCBA in terms of clients care and progress
, • Preference Assessment -✓✓RBT assist in P.As
A continuous and ongoing observation that establishes patient's reinforcers
Aims to identify an individual's favorite things so that they can be used as rewards or
potential "reinforcers" for desired behavior.
CSDA
1. Caregiver interview
2. Surveys
3. Direct Observation
4. Assessment Method
There are four types:
-Single Stimulus (handing items one at a time to see duration of play)
-Paired Stimulus (two items are presented and the item not chosen will be replaced to
see if preference of the initial item is continuous)
-Multiple Stimulus w Replacement (several objects are presented and chosen objects
removed and replace with other items)
-Multiple Stimulus w/o Replacement (several objects are presented and removed after
being chosen to establish hierarchy)
• ABC Data -✓✓Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
collecting data on
- what happened before behavior
- what is the behavior
- what happens immediately after the behavior
• PARTS TO THE COMPETENCY ASSESSMENT -✓✓Measurements
Assessments
Skill Acquisition and Behavior Reduction (service and delivery)
• Discrete Trial Training -✓✓DTT - when you are a table or working in an environment
where you are contriving everything. There is a clear beginning, middle, and end. You
give an SD (discriminative stimulus) there is a behavior then a consequence, correct or
reinforce the feedback, then restart.
How to:
BCBA instructs the following: deliver your SD by (modeling) observe behavior, reinforce
or correct response through a consequence, then repeat
• Naturalistic Teaching (NET) -✓✓away from the table teaching that is done in an
organic way by following the clients interests and inquiries so to use them as
