RBT EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH ACCURATE
SOLUTIONS
Name the 3 types of chaining: -- Answer ✔✔ 1. forward chaining
2. backward chaining
3. total task presentation
When is chaining used? -- Answer ✔✔ When we want to combine two or more simple
behaviors or responses into a more complex sequence. (brushing teeth)
What is Natural Environment Training (NET)? -- Answer ✔✔ ABA teaching procedures
that can be used to teach learners in their natural environment (through play or other
disguised activities)
Advantages of using NET? -- Answer ✔✔ - Motivation/EO provides best conditions for
mand teaching
- Generalization naturally occurs; elaborate generalization procedures are not necessary.
- Reduced amount of negative behavior due to use of child's interest; specific
reinforcement is naturally built in.
- Verbal interaction is characteristic of natural environment
,- Verbal responses can be mixed together under environmental conditions that may
evoke them later.
What are the difference between NET and DTT? -- Answer ✔✔ DTT - has lots of trials,
much more structured
NET- does not have a lot of trials
the target items are chosen by the learner not the BT, the lessons can be more
"functional" in nature. the learner typically
Name 3 examples of indirect prompting strategies used in NET: -- Answer ✔✔
Rephrase the question
Asking leading questions/scaffolding
Relating situation to previous event
Drawing/using visual representation of situation
Asking yes/no questions or giving a choice of responses
Explain Differential Reinforcement -- Answer ✔✔ Reinforcement of some behaviors and
not others. The results is an increase in desired behaviors that are reinforced and an
elimination of problem behaviors that are not reinforced. (Reinforce desired behaviors
AND don't reinforce (extinguish) undesired behavior)
What are the three Differential Reinforcement (DR) procedures? -- Answer ✔✔ 1.
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) - has both antecedent and
consequence component. A specific appropriate response is taught to replace an
inappropriate response. (Like FCT)
, 2. Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO) - presenting a reinforcer
contingent on the absence of a problem behavior for a specified period of time. (Whole
interval/momentary interval)
3. Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior (DRI) - an incompatible behavior
that is impossible to occur simultaneously with the problem behavior is reinforced. (ex:
hand mouthing -> playing with toys)
What components are included in the behavior intervention plan (BIP)? (6) -- Answer
✔✔ 1. Operational definition - definition of the behavior in detail.
2. Hypothesize function - what behavior function
3. Antecedent Modifications
4. Replacement Behaviors
5. Consequence Modifications
6. Data Measurement
What should you do if you observe a behavior that is not in the BIP? -- Answer ✔✔
Take ABC data and extinction planned ignoring or which best fits the behavior. Let your
supervisor know immediately
What is the Safety Care curriculum designed for? (Crisis Management) -- Answer ✔✔ Is
designed to provide a set of skills and strategies that allow staff in a variety of setting to
safely and humanely provide support to individuals who may sometimes exhibit
disruptive or dangerous behavior.
What behavioral instruction methods are incorporated into Safety Care? -- Answer ✔✔
Errorless learning
