Aces ABA Practice Exam, (Answered) Complete
Verified Solution
The Role & Responsibility of an RBT
Deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and implement
behavior intervention plans as written by a BCBA
Rate
The total count per a unit of time
Duration
The time from when the behavior begins to when it ends
Latency
The time between the presentation of stimulus and the occurrence of the behavior
Continuous Recording Method
Duration, Rate/Frequency, and Latency
Partial-Interval recording
When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole Interval Recording
when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary Time Sampling
when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time
The time between the end of one instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next
occurrence of behavior.
Recording Method for behavior to increase
whole interval recording
Recording method for behavior to decrease
partial interval recording
Examples of Permanent Products
Number of broken windows & Folded shirts
Permanent product recording is one of the least cumbersome data recording
methods
True
Best Operational definition for tantrum
Any instance of the client crying and hitting himself in the head with a closed fist which
makes sound that can be heard within 5 feet. Instance must last longer than 30 seconds
and are separated by 30 seconds of nonoccurrence.
A preference assessment can be as simple as letting a client play and watching
what items they most frequently play with
True
Four Functions of Behavior
Social Negative (escape), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation), Social Positive
(attention/access), and Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation)
Example of Social Negative (Escape)
A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. when he gets out of his seat
his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through with her demand.
, Example of Automatic Negative (Pain attenuation)
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a
break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when you or
someone else directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself. One day
mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled. After
this dentist appointment the spitting stopped.
Example of Social Positive (Attention/access)
Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in a tantrum. Mom tries
to ignore him but after around five minutes mom give him back the item she removed
and the tantrum immediately stops.
Example of Social Positive (Attention/Access)
A client hits other students in is class during break times. Each time he hits another
student the teacher immediately provides a verbal reprimand.
Example of Automatic Positive (Sensory stimulation)
You work with a client who drops legos on the floor for hours if left alone. The client
does this even if other are playing with him, when no demands are being placed, and
when given free access to a number of preferred toys.
Antecedent
a stimulus that occurs before a behavior
Consequence
A stimulus that occurs after the behavior
Why conduct assessments?
To discover behavioral deficits, discover behavior excesses, and to identify environment
variables
Functional Assessment
A set of procedures used to identify the cause of a problem behavior or socially
inappropriate behavior
Functional Analysis
the deliberate manipulation of variables to evoke a target behavior to determine the
function of the behavior
Functional Behavior Assessment
A set of interviews conducted to identify the function of a behavior, observations of the
problem behavior as it is occurring in the natural setting, and functional analysis
What does ABC stand for?
Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence
reinforcer
a stimulus that increases or maintains the frequency of a behavior
punisher
a stimulus that decreased the function frequency of a behavior
primary reinforcer
stimulus that is naturally rewarding, such as food or water
secondary reinforcer
neutral object that becomes associated with a primary reinforcer
manipulation of Motivating Operations
antecedent intervention
Establishing Operation increased the value of a particular reinforcer
