ANSWERS WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS GRADED A+
Role of an RBT
- deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
- record data
- implement behavior intervention by BCBA
Can an RBT practice independently of BCBA?
No, a RBT cannot practice independently of a BCBA
Rate
total count per unit of time
Duration
time from when the behavior begins and ends
Latency
the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
Continuous Recording Method
latency, duration, rate
Whole Interval Recording
behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded
Looking for behavior increase using which kind of recording?
whole interval recording
Partial Interval Recording
when a behavior must occur at least once during an interval to be recorded
Looking for behavior decrease using which kind of recording?
partial interval recording
Inter-response time recording
time between the end of one instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next
occurrence of behavior
, Momentary Time Sampling
records whether the target behavior is occurring at the moment that each time interval
ends
Reinforcer
any stimulus or event that functions to increase the likelihood of the behavior that led to
it
primary reinforcer example
any reinforcer that is naturally reinforcing by meeting a basic biological need, such as
food, water, warmth
secondary reinforcer example
any reinforcer that becomes reinforcing after being paired with a primary reinforcer,
such as praise, tokens, or gold stars
positive reinforcement
the reinforcement of a response by the addition or experiencing of a pleasurable
stimulus
differential reinforcement
reinforcing a desired replacement behavior with withholding or masking reinforcement
for an undesirable stereotypic behavior
negative reinforcement
the reinforcement of a response by the removal, escape from, or avoidance of an
unpleasant stimulus
social reinforcement
when a behavior produces a reinforcing consequence through the actions of another
person such as praise, attention, approval, and /or affection from others
Social Positive Reinforcement
adding something
Social Negative Reinforcement
taking away
Punisher
any stimulus or event that functions to decrease the likelihood of the behavior that led to
it
