RBT EXAM STUDY GUIDE QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
Frequency/Rate -- Answer ✔✔ The number of times a behavior/ response occurs per
unit of time
Latency -- Answer ✔✔ The length of time between an initial instruction and a learner's
response
Stimulus Control -- Answer ✔✔ A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration,
or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent
stimuli.
DRA -- Answer ✔✔ A procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable
alternative for a challenging behavior is reinforced while the challenging behavior is
extinguished.
DRI -- Answer ✔✔ a procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable
alternative for a challenging behavior, and which is incompatible with that challenging
behavior, is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished.
, DRO -- Answer ✔✔ is a procedure for decreasing challenging behavior in which
reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at
specific times.
Extinction -- Answer ✔✔ A procedure in which a behavior that was previously
reinforced is no longer reinforced and the rate of behavior decreases
Extinction Burst -- Answer ✔✔ An temporary increase in behavior that occurs at the
beginning of an extinction procedure
Abolishing Operation -- Answer ✔✔ is a motivating operation that decreases the
reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus object, or event; makes you want something less
Establishing Operation -- Answer ✔✔ is a motivating operation that establishes the
effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforce; Makes you want
something more
Task Analysis -- Answer ✔✔ Breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units
Automatic Reinforcement -- Answer ✔✔ Not a socially mediated reinforcement
Partial Interval -- Answer ✔✔ A interval recording procedure in which an observer
notes whether or not a behavior occurred at all during an interval
