Task-analyzed Incidental Discrete-trial Shaping Incidental teaching uses natural learning opportunities within the environment, such as teaching a child to request something while playing. Incidental teaching uses natural learning opportunities within the environment, such as teaching a child to request something while playing. 10) You lay out 3 small objects and provide the instruction “find the ____.” Which of the following prompts would be the least intrusive in this example? Positional Hand-over-hand Partial physical guidance at the client’s elbow Partial physical guidance at the client’s wrist Positional prompting is the least intrusive because it involves placing the correct object in a specific location without any physical contact with the learner. Positional prompting is the least intrusive because it involves placing the correct object in a specific location without any physical contact with the learner. 11) Sheila is working with a 3-year-old boy. He enjoys playing with toy dinosaurs, so she brings a bag full of toy dinosaurs to her session and allows him to play with them when he earns 5 tokens for following his rules. Toy dinosaurs would be a: Generalized conditioned reinforcer Conditioned reinforcer Primary reinforcer Unconditioned reinforcer Toy dinosaurs are conditioned reinforcers, as their reinforcing value is learned through association with other reinforcing events, such as earning tokens.

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. 13) In the break room in their clinic, a BCBA made a casual comment, which was more of a joke, which Sally (an RBT) felt a little uneasy about. The BCBA said, “I don’t care what the teacher thinks! My job is to get the kid to behave; if it disrupts her class a little bit, that’s her problem. We have enough problems as it is!” What, if anything, is wrong with this statement? The BCBA was not right to make that remark. BCBAs must only comment on behavior analytic professionals and avoid even mentioning other professionals, such as speech language pathologists, teachers, or social workers. While in poor taste, there’s nothing wrong with a little office humor behind closed doors. The joke made by the BCBA was unprofessional, as it serves to undermine the views and concerns of a legitimate stakeholder in the behavior change plan the BCBA is implementing. A BCBA has a responsibility to all parties, and while the client comes first, we should not treat other stakeholders with disdain. The teacher will get over it. Besides, teachers aren’t paid enough to care about some snivelling BCBA! The BCBA’s statement undermines the importance of collaboration with other professionals like teachers, which is a critical part of the behavior change plan.

DRH (Differential Reinforcement of Higher rates of behavior) is used when reinforcement is provided for increasing the rate of a behavior. 15) VR, FR, VI, and FI are all: Types of behavior intervention procedures Continuous schedules of reinforcement Types of teaching procedures Intermittent schedules of reinforcement VR (Variable Ratio), FR (Fixed Ratio), VI (Variable Interval), and FI (Fixed Interval) are types of intermittent reinforcement schedules. VR (Variable Ratio), FR (Fixed Ratio), VI (Variable Interval), and FI (Fixed Interval) are types of intermittent reinforcement schedules. 16) Shay is learning to label colors. Which of the following examples would exemplify naturalistic teaching to learn colors? While sitting on the living room floor with the RBT, the RBT presents a 2D color card and says “what color?” Shay responds with the color, then earns reinforcement While sitting at a table in the therapy room, the RBT clears the table and shows Shay a red lego and asks “what color?” Shay responds “red”, then earns reinforcement While playing with legos in the play room, they build a lego tower and the RBT asks Shay to label the color of some of the legos All of the above are naturalistic teaching examples All of the examples involve learning color in natural settings, a key component of naturalistic teaching.

When given this instruction and Joey touches his nose, she does not deliver praise or a high-five. Dana is conducting: Stimulus class training Stimulus control transfers Prompt fading Discrimination training Discrimination training involves reinforcing the correct response (touching the head) while not reinforcing incorrect responses (touching the nose). Discrimination training involves reinforcing the correct response (touching the head) while not reinforcing incorrect responses (touching the nose). 18) Which of the following ways is a safe way to store data collected during a therapy session that may contain PHI (Personal Health Information)? In a briefcase, which is set to explode if the wrong person tries to open it In a file-folder On a clipboard Files containing PHI should be stored in a lockable file folder or cabinet when not in use. During transport (say, between the office and a client’s home), all files should be stored in the trunk of your vehicle. You should only transport files with the express consent of your BCBA supervisor. PHI should be securely stored in lockable containers, and files should be transported in secure locations to protect confidentiality. PHI should be securely stored in lockable containers, and files should be transported in secure locations to protect confidentiality. 19) __________ reinforcement occurs when a reinforcer is presented regardless of whether the target behavior is demonstrated or not. Noncontingent Conditioned Continuous Intermittent Noncontingent reinforcement occurs when a reinforcer is delivered on a fixed schedule regardless of the behavior performed. Noncontingent reinforcement occurs when a reinforcer is delivered on a fixed schedule regardless of the behavior performed. 20) Your BCBA reviews a new goal with you. They instruct you to use a continuous schedule of reinforcement for this goal. What does this mean? You provide reinforcement non-contingently You reinforce some, but not all, occurrences of the behavior You reinforce every occurrence of the behavior You do not reinforce this behavior A continuous schedule of reinforcement means providing reinforcement every time the behavior occurs, which helps establish new behaviors. A continuous schedule of reinforcement means providing reinforcement every time the behavior occurs, which helps establish new behaviors. 21) Which of the following is not typically included when designing a comprehensive skill acquisition strategy?

Punishment Negative reinforcement Positive reinforcement None of the above A positive consequence follows a desired behavior. A positive consequence follows a desired behavior. 23) If a child is given a sticker every 3 minutes regardless of behavior, what kind of reinforcement schedule is used? Fixed ratio Continuous reinforcement Variable interval Fixed interval The reinforcement follows a strict time schedule, which is a fixed interval. The reinforcement follows a strict time schedule, which is a fixed interval. 24) When teaching your client to match 2D identical pictures, you start by providing a hand-over-hand prompt so that they are successful. After a few sessions of this, you fade your prompt to partial physical, then to gestural, until your client is successful matching pictures without any prompting. By fading your prompts, you are: Thinning reinforcement Transferring stimulus control Prompting Generalizing the skill Fading prompts is part of transferring stimulus control, which means the learner becomes independent of the prompt and performs the behavior on their own. Fading prompts is part of transferring stimulus control, which means the learner becomes independent of the prompt and performs the behavior on their own. 25) Providing assistance following the SD to ensure your learner responds accurately is ________________. Shaping Prompting Chaining Task analyzing Prompting involves giving assistance to ensure that the learner responds correctly, often by providing a cue or physical assistance. Prompting involves giving assistance to ensure that the learner responds correctly, often by providing a cue or physical assistance. 26) Your BCBA asks you to create a task analysis for tying shoes. What does this mean? You record data on your client’s ability to tie their shoes You make a data sheet for tying shoes You break down the skill of tying shoes into several individual steps You systematically reinforce successive approximations toward an end goal A task analysis breaks down a complex skill, like tying shoes, into smaller, teachable steps. A task analysis breaks down a complex skill, like tying shoes, into smaller, teachable steps. 27) A client with dental issues and chronic health issues related to being overweight consults with a BCBA. She identifies that candy, ice cream, donuts, and other sugar snacks are valuable stimuli during an informal preference assessment. What ethical issues, if any, are there to using these types of reinforcers with this type of client? BCBAs are strictly forbidden from using sweets and must always use vegetables. It would be unethical to use stimuli that would exacerbate (make worse) the client’s current health issues. The BCBA should make every possible effort to pursue other stimuli. The behavior analyst needs to conduct a preference assessment for other stimuli classes (e.g., videos, apps/games, physical toys, etc.). However, no ethical violation is taking place here. There are no ethical concerns with using candy and other sugary foods here – the client has a right to prefer what he wants, and as long as the family is OK with it, the BCBA should always use the most highly preferred stimuli available (to ensure effectiveness). 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. 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. 28) The BCBA gave the RBT 10 tasks to have the learner perform to assess whether the learner can perform the tasks or not. This is an example of: Pairing Maintenance Generalization Probing Probing is the process of assessing whether the learner can perform specific tasks or skills by presenting them directly. Probing is the process of assessing whether the learner can perform specific tasks or skills by presenting them directly. 29) A father helping less and less as his child learns to ride a bike is using what prompting strategy? Most to Least Prompting Progressive Time Delay Least to Most Prompting Error Correction Prompts are gradually faded, starting with the most support. Prompts are gradually faded, starting with the most support. 30) Which type of chaining procedure consists of prompting each step until the final step, which the learner then completes independently?

You hold up a picture card of a girl smiling and ask “how does she feel?” At what point would you prompt the correct response? After the learner answers incorrectly When the learner does not respond A or B Before the learner responds Prompts may be given before or after the learner responds depending on the context to ensure correct answering. Prompts may be given before or after the learner responds depending on the context to ensure correct answering. 42) Which axis on a line graph does the Abscissa refer to?

The abscissa refers to the X-axis, which typically represents time or different conditions in a graph. 43) Tim, an RBT, is at the supermarket when he sees a client with whom he regularly works. He excitedly greets his client and talks about their most recent therapy session. After he heads home, he realizes he did something wrong – what was it? He should have had the client sign a disclosure act notification form, which must be done each time you see a client in public He should have waited for the client to acknowledge him first, AND refrained from acknowledging any details about their therapy relationship unless explicit consent was given Tim should avoid speaking to clients in public, even if they acknowledge him first He did nothing wrong – it would be unethical to treat a client differently because he or she has a diagnosis RBTs should avoid discussing therapy details unless explicit consent has been obtained from the client to maintain confidentiality.
