RBT Exam Terms
Vocabulary/definitions
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Continuous Measurement | Frequency, Duration, Latency, IRT |
Discontinuous Measurement | Time sample, Whole interval, Partial interval, Momentary time sample |
Frequency | How many times the behavior occurs (tally marks) |
Duration | How long a behavior occurs (amount time) |
Latency | The time between when the Sd is presented, and the response is given |
Inter Response Time | The time between two responses/behaviors occurring |
Time Sample | |
Whole Interval Recording | Checking off an interval if the behavior occurs the WHOLE interval |
Partial Interval Recording | checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at ANY point within the interval - even if it only occurred for 1 second. |
Momentary Time Sample | looking for a behavior’s occurrence during a specific part of the interval and recording if it is occurring at that precise moment |
Preference Assessment | Assessment to determine what someone is motivated by |
Single Stimulus | |
Paired | |
Multiple stimulus w/ replacement | |
Multiple stimulus w/o replacement | |
ABC | Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence |
Antecedent | Under what circumstances does the behavior occur (what happened right before/caused it) |
Behavior | movement of an organism through space and time. It must past the “dead man’s test” which is to say, “if a dead man can do it, it isn’t behavior.” |
Consequence | The thing that happened immediately after the behavior occurred ▪ The immediate consequence is what is increasing or decreasing the desired behavior |
Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) | learning opportunity initiated and controlled by the teacher in which the correct response will be reinforced. This also is breaking a skill into smaller parts and teaching it while using reinforcement |
Naturalistic Teaching (NET) | Naturalistic teaching is when the learner initiates a learning opportunity, and the reinforcer is a result of the activity or learning opportunity |
Chaining | |
Total Chaining | |
Forwards Chaining | |
Backwards Chaining | |
Shaping | |
Prompting | form of assistance that you add in order to achieve a desired response or behavior that is not occurring. Used to evoke the correct response so it can be reinforced. Stimulus and Response prompts. |
Discrimination Training | |
Stimulus Control Transfer | A process in which prompts are removed in order to bring the behavior under the control of the Sd and is achieved by prompt fading (prompt fading to evoke an independent response) |
Prompt Fading | gradually removing prompt levels needed or fading out the intrusiveness |
Token System | |
Antecedent Interventions | |
Differential Reinfrocement | DRO, DRI, DRA, DRH, DRL |
Differential Reinforcement of Other Behaviors | |
Differential Reinforcement of Alternate Behaviors | |
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible Behavior | |
Differential Reinforcement of Higher Rate | |
Differential Reinforcement of Lower Rate | |
Extinction | The withholding of reinforcement for a previously reinforced behavior, resulting in reduction of that behavior |
Permanent Product | tangible product or environmental outcome that proves a skill happened |
Mand | asking for something, a request |
Fixed Ratio | Reinforcement after a specified set amount of responses |
Fixed Interval | Reinforcement after a specified set amount of time |
Variable Ratio | Reinforcement after a variable number of responses (not always the same number of responses, but there is an average amount) |
Variable Interval | Reinforcement after a variable number of time (not always the same amount of time, but there is an average amount) |
Tact/Tacting | A form of verbal behavior where the speaker sees, hears, smells, tastes something and then comments about it (aka labeling) |
Positive Reinforcement | |
Negative Reinforcement | |
Positive Punishment | |
Negative Punishment | |
Listener Responding | |
Echoic | Vocal imitation |
Intraverbal | |
Imitation | "Do this" "Copy me" "Watch me." |
Errorless Teaching | Immediately prompt correct response. Essentially, you are not giving the client a chance to make an error |
Error Correction | 1. Error - child touches car when SD touch bike 2. Correction - represent the Sd w/ prompt 3. Transfer - represent the Sd without a prompt 4. Expand - place easy/mastered demands 5. Return - return to Sd of incorrect response: “touch bike” reinforcement i |
