RBT Practice Exam 4

The reinforcement follows a strict time schedule, which is a fixed interval.

A skill acquisition plan typically focuses on the teaching of new behaviors rather than the reduction of behaviors.

RBTs should avoid discussing therapy details unless explicit consent has been obtained from the client to maintain confidentiality.

Non-contingent reinforcement is not tied to any specific action.

Positional prompting is the least intrusive because it involves placing the correct object in a specific location without any physical contact with the learner.

Prompts may be given before or after the learner responds depending on the context to ensure correct answering.

Prompts are gradually faded, starting with the most support.

A complete skill acquisition plan assists in teaching skills, managing behavior, and session planning.

These are essential tasks done to prepare for a therapy session.

The goal of manding independently would be measured with 80% independent performance across 3 consecutive sessions to ensure consistency and mastery.

A positive consequence follows a desired behavior.

A continuous schedule of reinforcement means providing reinforcement every time the behavior occurs, which helps establish new behaviors.

Total task teaching involves teaching all steps of a task at once, prompting each step as needed, with the final step completed independently.

Fixed ratio involves reinforcement after a fixed number of responses, such as 5 punches on the card before receiving the free scoop.

The abscissa refers to the X-axis, which typically represents time or different conditions in a graph.

Total task presentation involves practicing all steps in sequence.

VR (Variable Ratio), FR (Fixed Ratio), VI (Variable Interval), and FI (Fixed Interval) are types of intermittent reinforcement schedules.

Errorless teaching aims to prevent the learner from practicing incorrect responses.

DRH (Differential Reinforcement of Higher rates of behavior) is used when reinforcement is provided for increasing the rate of a behavior.

A task analysis breaks down a complex skill, like tying shoes, into smaller, teachable steps.

sing reinforcers that exacerbate the client's existing health issues could be considered unethical, and the BCBA should aim to find other, more appropriate reinforcers.

Discrimination training involves reinforcing a behavior in the presence of a particular stimulus and not reinforcing it in the presence of other stimuli, achieving stimulus control.

The child receives a reward for every correct response, making it continuous.

All of the examples involve learning color in natural settings, a key component of naturalistic teaching.

Generalization involves ensuring that skills are taught in a variety of settings, with different people, and with a variety of stimuli to ensure the client can apply the skills in different environments.

Data should be reviewed regularly, not just every two months, to ensure progress.

Forward chaining introduces steps in their natural order.

Data should be reviewed regularly to ensure that the plan is working effectively. A review every two months may be too infrequent to make necessary adjustments.

Discrimination training involves reinforcing the correct response (touching the head) while not reinforcing incorrect responses (touching the nose).

The reinforcement follows a strict time schedule, which is a fixed interval.

Probing is the process of assessing whether the learner can perform specific tasks or skills by presenting them directly.

Conditioned reinforcers derive their value by being associated with primary reinforcers, such as tokens or money.

Toy dinosaurs are conditioned reinforcers, as their reinforcing value is learned through association with other reinforcing events, such as earning tokens.

The teacher signals that reinforcement is available.

Variable interval reinforcement provides reinforcement after an unpredictable amount of time, maintaining consistent responses.

Line graphs are commonly used in behavior analysis to display data trends over time.

Noncontingent reinforcement occurs when a reinforcer is delivered on a fixed schedule regardless of the behavior performed.

The child receives a reward for every correct response, making it continuous.

Toy dinosaurs are conditioned reinforcers, as their reinforcing value is learned through association with other reinforcing events, such as earning tokens.

The BCBA’s statement undermines the importance of collaboration with other professionals like teachers, which is a critical part of the behavior change plan.

Cheese-it crackers are a primary reinforcer, as they naturally satisfy a biological need or want, such as hunger.

Fading prompts is part of transferring stimulus control, which means the learner becomes independent of the prompt and performs the behavior on their own.

Incidental teaching uses natural learning opportunities within the environment, such as teaching a child to request something while playing.

Prompting involves giving assistance to ensure that the learner responds correctly, often by providing a cue or physical assistance.

PHI should be securely stored in lockable containers, and files should be transported in secure locations to protect confidentiality.
