RBT Exam Prep

Flashcards for review.

Frequency

Counts how often a behavior occurs within a specified time frame.

Duration

Measures the time a behavior occurs from start to finish.

Latency

Records the time between the stimulus's presentation and the behavior's initiation.

Interresponse Time (IRT)

Tracks the time between the end of one behavior and the start of the next.

Partial Interval Recording

Records whether the behavior occurred during predefined intervals.

Whole Interval Recording

Documents if the behavior persists throughout the entire interval.

Momentary Time Sampling

Observes and records whether the behavior occurs at the end of each interval.

Single Stimulus Preference Assessment

Presenting one item at a time to determine if the individual shows a preference.

Paired Stimulus Preference Assessment

Presenting pairs of items to choose between.

Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO)

Presenting an array of items without replacement until preferences are identified.

Multiple Stimulus With Replacement (MSW)

Presenting an array of items with replacement after selection.

Antecedent

An event or situation immediately before the behavior of interest.

Behavior

The specific action or response demonstrated by the individual.

Consequence

What happens immediately following the behavior.

Discriminative Stimulus (SD)

Clear instruction or cue given to evoke a specific response in Discrete Trial Training.

Forward Chaining

Teaching starts with the initial step in the sequence and progresses to subsequent steps.

Backward Chaining

Teaching starts with the final step in the sequence and works backward through the chain.

Task Analysis

Breaking down the skill into smaller, teachable components.

Prompts

Providing guidance or assistance to help the individual complete each step.

Verbal Prompts

Giving verbal instructions or cues.

Visual Prompts

Using pictures, gestures, or cues.

Physical Prompts

Physically guiding the individual through the behavior.

Modeling Prompts

Demonstrating the behavior for the individual to imitate.

Least-to-Most Prompting

Beginning with the least intrusive prompt and progressing to more intrusive prompts if needed.

Most-to-Least Prompting

Starting with more intrusive prompts and gradually fading to less intrusive prompts.

Prompt Fading

Gradually reducing or fading the intensity or frequency of prompts to encourage independent performance of the behavior.

Tokens

Physical or symbolic items such as coins, stickers, points, or tokens themselves.

Modifying Antecedents

Altering the environment or conditions before a behavior occurs.

Motivating Operations (MO)

Changing the value or effectiveness of a reinforcer by altering the individual's motivation or need.

Discriminative Stimuli (SD)

Using specific cues or signals that prompt a particular behavior.

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA)

Reinforcing a behavior that is an alternative to the problem behavior.

Differential Reinforcement of Other Behavior (DRO)

Reinforcing the absence or non-occurrence of the problem behavior within a specific time frame.

Extinction Procedures

Involves withholding reinforcement that previously maintained a behavior.
