4 schedules of reinforcement -- Answer ✔✔ 1. fixed ratio
2. variable ratio
3. fixed interval
4. variable interval
Fixed Ratio -- Answer ✔✔ schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is
delivered after a set number of responses and this value does not change from one
delivery to the next
Fixed Interval -- Answer ✔✔ a schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is
delivered for the first response after a set amount of time
Variable Ratio -- Answer ✔✔ schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is
delivered after a number of responses that varies around some average value
Variable Interval -- Answer ✔✔ schedule of reinforcement in which the reinforcer is
delivered for the first response after a time period that varies around some average
value
,4 Functions of Behavior -- Answer ✔✔ SEAT
1. Sensory (Automatic)
2. Escape/Avoidance
3. Attention
4. Tangible
Sensory/Automatic -- Answer ✔✔ The individual behaves because it feels good

*crying to escape the task of doing HW
Attention -- Answer ✔✔ when the behavior increase after receiving some attention

toy or snack
Automatic Positive -- Answer ✔✔ adding sensation that makes it more likely to occur in

automatic negative -- Answer ✔✔ behavior that occurs to remove sensation
*removing hand to stop pian
, Target Behavior -- Answer ✔✔ the specific behavior you are interested in changing. It is
the focus of assessment, analysis, and intervention
Role of an RBT -- Answer ✔✔ - deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
- record data
- implement behavior intervention by BCBA
Can an RBT practice independently of BCBA? -- Answer ✔✔ No, a RBT cannot practice
independently of a BCBA
Rate -- Answer ✔✔ total count per unit of time
Duration -- Answer ✔✔ time from when the behavior begins and ends
Latency -- Answer ✔✔ the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the
occurrence of a behavior
Continuous Recording Method -- Answer ✔✔ latency, duration, rate
Whole Interval Recording -- Answer ✔✔ behavior must occur for the entire interval to
be recorded
