RBT study guide part 2

Intermediate receptive skills

Can select from a messy array of 6 for at least 40 different items
Discriminating 3 examples of a particular item in a messy array of 8, should be able to do this for at least 5 items
Select correct item from screen
Perform 10 specific motor actions
Respond to at least 50 noun/verb or verb/noun instructions

Advanced receptive skills

Total repertoire of at least 1200 nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, prepositions, and pronouns
Select from items from an array of 6 (4 different colors, 4 different shapes)
Follow at least 2 instructions involving prepositions (put the ball BEHIND the cup)
3 steps instructions for 10 different directions (arms up, wave hands, stomp feet)

Discrete trial instruction

Highly structured intervention technique involving multiple trials of an intervention target. SD or cue, response, consequence (reinforcer if correct response or correction), intertrial intervention

Massed trials

When one target is presented at a time until the learner can display it with no prompts for several different trials. When one target is mastered, the same procedure repeats with the next target

Interspersed trials

Presenting one target, then presenting different targets and continuing to mix targets throughout a session. Targets that have already been mastered are interspersed with targets that are new to learner

Functional communication training (FCT)

addresses challenging behaviors by teaching the individual to replace those behaviors with communication.

What are 4 pivotal skills?

1. Responding to reinforcers or motivation

3. Initiating interactions

4. Managing one’s own behavior (self-management)
