RBT Practice Exam

•  : one type of continuous measurement is

• :This signals the unavailability of the reinforcement

• Mark is an RBT who works with a client 4 hours per day, his client consistently engages in hand-flapping behavior. His BCBA instructed him to reinforce the client whenever he does not engage in hand-flapping behavior. The differential reinforcement type BCBA instruct Mark to use was:

• :One type of the discontinuous measurement is

• : Defined as “duration of time that elapses between 2 consecutive instances of a behavior”

• Ahmad collects data on whining behavior for one of his clients using time sampling procedure, he records the presence of the behavior at ANY time during :the interval. Ahmed is using

• During 2-hour session, Maria engaged in the behavior 2 times (1^st instance 15 sec.; 2^nd instance 10 sec.). The RBT Leo calculated the length of time the :behavior occurred from onset to offset. The measurement type Leo was using is

• One of the advantages of using permanent product to measure the behaviors is that:

• Considered as the most common graph in ABA:

• Used for discontinuities in time when data is not taken due to some reason such as summer vacation:

• All these examples are behaviors EXCEPT:

• In a sport class that have 30 students, points are given for specific and precise formal dimensions of a preformed exercise, what type of definitional measure is this?

• :This is also known as forced choice

• Mark is doing trial-based stimulus preference assessment with one of his clients, he started the assessment with presenting 5 stimuli and asked “which one do you want most?” The item/activity chosen remained in the array and the rest were replaced with new items/activity. Which type of preference assessment did Mark use?

• These are considered indirect FBA, EXCEPT:

• This is carried out when antecedents and consequences are arranged and systematically manipulated to observe and measure changes in an individual’s challenging behavior:

• These are advantages of the functional analysis, EXCEPT:

• This creates stimulus control making an increase in responding in the presence of SD more likely than in the presence of S-delta:

:Which of these is NOT a type of positive punishment

• These all are unwanted effect of punishment, EXCEPT:

• A previously reinforced behavior is no longer reinforced, this is:

• When the behavior occurs more often in the presence of an SD than in the presence of an S-delta, this leads to:

• In this type of differential reinforcement, we work on increasing the IRT, and our target is to decrease behavior, but not to eliminate. What type of differential reinforcement is this?

• Which one of these behaviors is more appropriate to be measured using continuous measurements?

• This discontinuous measurement is known to overestimate and underestimate behavior:

• This is defined as the amount of opportunities needed to meet the identified criteria:

• After you switch on the light in the hallway, the light comes on every time, this is an example of:

• When the SR is delivered after the first correct response that occurs after a mean of 12 min., which intermittent schedule is this?

• This occurs when a schedule of reinforcement has been thinned too quickly:

• This is defined as the “response induction extent to which a learner emits untrained responses that are functionally equivalent to trained target behavior”:

• Respondent behavior can be described as:

• The advantage of using discrete trial teaching is:

• This involves clear beginning, middle, and end of opportunity and it is used for promoting tightly controlled behavioral repertoires:

• These are considered unconditioned reinforcers, EXCEPT:

• Phill is a 2-year old child. He usually cries to get a piece of candy from his mother. Crying in the example is considered:

• Mark keeps his client’s favorite toys up on a shelf. If his client wants access, he must request for help and state the name of the required toy. What kind of education methodology does Mark use?

• Defined as “a specific sequence of discrete/separate responses, each 1 associated with a particular stimulus condition (SD), and each response and the associated SD serves as an individual component of the chain”:

• In this type of behavior chaining methods, client attain terminal reinforcer for the chain each time:

• One of the disadvantages of forward chaining method is that:

• Shaping is:

• Stimulus discrimination occurs when:

• How to teach concept?

• All of these are factors affecting stimulus control, EXCEPT:

• One of these is NOT a potential unwanted effect of response cost:

• Which type of non-exclusionary time-out negative punishment procedure is least aversive and most popular?

• Defined as “The techniques in which prompts discontinued once the target behavior is being displayed in the presence of the discriminative stimulus (SD)”:

• Someone knocked the door, and Mark picked up the phone. This example refers to:

• These all may cause resistance to extinction, EXCEPT:

• In this fading response prompt, you allow client an opportunity to preform the task independently following the SD; you prompting increases based on incorrect responding:

• The redundancy of antecedent stimuli is a stimulus prompt that is referred as:

• These all are acceptable for a professional relationship between an RBT and BCBA supervisor, EXCEPT:

• This is defined as “the breakdown of a task into its individual components and steps”:

• What is the distinction between frequency and rate?

• Which of the following statement has the best way to use when communicating with a client’s parents about treatment results?

• This occurs before the behavior:

• Which one of these antecedents increase/decrease the value of a consequence?

• Mark is recording the time it takes from the presentation of the demand (SD) to the first instance of behavior. What is Mark measuring?

• When you work with a client, which of these parties should their preferences take priority?

• This is defined as “A process that occurs when a behavior is followed immediately by the reduction or removal of a stimulus that increases the future frequency of that and similar behaviors in similar conditions”:

• Your little girl 4 year-old client is playing with his toys. She holds one of her dolls, looks at it, and says “Barbie!” What type of verbal behavior is this?

• Escape, attention, tangible, and sensory are:

• Reinforcement is delivered on average every 4 minutes in which the behaviors occur. What type of reinforcement schedule is this?

• Before you start any session with your client, you minimally need to be prepared for what steps in order to run a successful session?

• This type of verbal behavior is controlled by motivating operations (MO):

• These are all characteristics of transcription, EXCEPT:

• This is a non-verbal response evoked by a verbal SD because of a history of generalized conditioned reinforcers:

• Treatment integrity means:

• This is “a typical short pattern in which the behavior that diminished during the extinction process reoccurs even though the behavior has not been reinforced”:

• These are all right characteristics about the non-contingent reinforcement and extinction, EXCEPT:

• When you are deprived of food, your behavior to get food increases because the value of food has increased. This exemplifies the:

• ?Mark tought his client to say animal when he sees a cat. Now he says animal when he sees a dog. Which type of generalization is this

• This describes the lasting change in behavior and sustained progress:

• Which of the following options is not one of the functional analysis PROS?

• These are effective use of reinforcement in any procedure, EXCEPT:

• Mark tells his client, when you wash your hands, you will get a 15-minute free play. Mark is using which strategy of these?

• Which one of these methods is not a type of antecedent interventions?

• This is the failure to transfer control of the behavior to the SD from the prompt:

• In helping Maria to tie her shoes, Mark sat behind her and kept his hands very close to hers. As Maria went through the routine of tying shoes, Mark added physical support whenever Maria emitted an incorrect response. Which fading response prompt procedures did Mark follow with Maria?

• Ahmed does his exercises every day, but he does not exercise for enough hours. His coach decided to shape the duration of his exercise. This method refers to which type of shaping?

• To teach your client to read the word “orange”, write O-R-A-N-G-E in the color orange and gradually fade away the orange color. This exemplifies:

• Differential Reinforcement of Diminishing Rates of Responding (DRD) is:

• This is used in institutional settings, schools, hospitals, clinics for transitioning from natural to secondary reinforcers:

• This means when the controlling stimulus (verbal SD) and the verbal response have the same sense mode (e.g., both spoken:

• These are all considered dimensions of ABA, EXCEPT:

Which dimension of ABA does refer to clearly defining the procedures of a treatment and in detail in order to be replicable and have a shot of generating the same results?

• This is described as “the process involving an occasion for a behavior (SD), the behavior itself, and the consequence that follows”:

• Yazan is having his lunch at home. He is not finished with his meal but he needs to use the restroom. He leaves his food to go to the restroom and when he returns, he finds his little dog is eating his food. In the future, Yazan will no longer leave his food alone. This example refers to:

• What does ‘terminal goal’ mean in shaping?

• When should not we use Extinction?

• This is “a decrease in the current reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus”:

• These are types of repeatability measures, EXCEPT:

• Formal similarity, model, immediacy, and controlled relation are all defining features of:

• This is “a chain that must not only be preformed correctly and in order, but also within a specified period of time”:

• A teacher writes ‘pizza’ on the board and her students say ‘pizza’. Which type of verbal behavior does this exemplify?
