RBT EXAM 1

These flashcards cover key concepts related to behavioral data collection, RBT responsibilities, and teaching methodologies as discussed in the lecture notes.

Clicker counter

A device best suited for tracking frequency.

Duration

The type of data recorded when measuring how long it takes a client to complete a task.

Permanent Product

A type of data collection where the outcome of a behavior is assessed after it has occurred.

Assist with the assessment

Your role in a functional assessment as an RBT.

Implementation

Your primary role as an RBT.

Observable and measurable behavior

Behavior defined in clear terms that can be seen or measured.

IRT (Inter-Response Time)

The length of time between two responses.

Rate

Frequency with a time component added to it.

Define the target behavior

The first action to take before collecting data.

Partial interval recording

An interval recording method that may underestimate the occurrence of behavior.

Discontinuous measurement

Measurement methods that involve observing behavior for part of the interval rather than the whole.

Preference assessment

The goal to find out what is reinforcing to the client.

Shaping

A process of gradually increasing requirements for reinforcement.

Backwards chaining

A method of teaching by starting with the last step of the task and working backwards.

DRI (Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible behavior)

Reinforcing a behavior that cannot occur at the same time as the undesired behavior.

DRO (Differential Reinforcement of Other behavior)

Reinforcing any behavior other than the undesired behavior.

DRD (Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing behavior)

Reinforcing a decrease in the frequency of the undesired behavior.

Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence model

A teaching method that includes an antecedent, behavior, and consequence.

Prompt

A cue or signal to encourage a response.

Antecedent

The event or condition that occurs before a behavior.

Task analysis

The process of breaking down a skill into smaller, manageable components.

Dual relationships

An ethical violation when an RBT accepts payment for babysitting from a client’s family.

Inform your supervisor

The best course of action if offered lunch by the client's parents.
