An overview of various data collection methods and ABA techniques used in behavior assessment and intervention. It covers topics such as data recording methods, interobserver agreement, behavioral shaping, prompting procedures, and differential reinforcement. It also discusses the role of RBTs in the behavior assessment process and the importance of clearly defining behaviors targeted for reinforcement. examples and explanations of various techniques and methods used in ABA.

Which data recording method would be best used to measure time between when a cue was delivered and a learner responded to the cue? - Latency Susan's tantrums seemed to last longer with every passing day. Which data collection procedure would be the best to use to determine how long her tantrums last? - Duration Which of the following data collection methods might be useful for determining how many times a learner says, "Oh no!" - Frequency Jamaal is collecting data on Freddie's on-task behavior. He looks to see if Freddie is on-task for an entire 10-second interval. If he is, he marks yes. If Freddie looks around during the 10 seconds, he marks no. What type of data recording is Jamaal using? - Whole interval The "behavioral" dimension of ABA refers to: - Being able to observe and measure behavior Which of the following is true regarding the role of the RBT in the behavior assessment process? - RBTS assist in the implementation of functional behavioral assessments What is interobserver agreement (IOA)? - When 2 data collectors agree on data collected at the same time during the display of the behavior Which of the following is an example of an issue related to boundaries of competence? -
An RBT deciding which data to collect to build a verbal behavior program Which activity is appropriate for an RBT to engage in when data are being collected for the behavior intervention process? - Collecting frequency data during an observation of the learner In ABA, which is the best reason why behaviors are targeted for increase? - So learners can increase overall skill repertoires Behavioral shaping involves: - Reinforcing successive approximations of a larger behavior In discrete trial instruction, a short instruction delivered to a learner is called: - A discriminative stimulus (SD) Prompting before a learner can select an incorrect response is called: - Errorless learning Which part of a discrete trial makes it more likely the learner will respond again? - The reinforcer Teaching targets on the written skill acquisitions plan: - Tell the behavior technician what to present Which of the following is an example of a three step direction? - Arms up, stand up, and touch head Which if the following is the best way to determine how to follow the child's lead during a naturalistic teaching session? -
Operationally defining the behavior Why is it important to define a behavior in observable and measurable terms? - So the behavior's occurrence can be agreed upon by different observers Your supervisor tells you to use a strategy you have no idea how to use. What s the best response to the request? - Tell the supervisor immediately that you do not know how to use the strategy and ask for them to demonstrate it Which of the following is an example of a dual relationship? - Tina and Lois are best friends. Lois is an RBT who works with Tina's son What does the term "least intrusive" mean as it relates to behavior change plans? - Behavior change plans that place the least amount of risk or discomfort RBTs assist in delivering services under the direction and close supervision of: - An RBT supervisor or an RBT requirements coordinator What does the Professional and Ethical Compliance Code of the BACB state about communication and interactions with clients and families? - To interact with families and clients in a way that is free from bias and discrimination Which of the following statements made by an RBT to a parent shows that the RBT is practicing a "non- judgmental approach"? - "Sometimes it is hard to be consistent with the visual schedule. How do you think we could make this a bit simpler to use?" Which of the following data recording procedures is best used for behaviors that have a clear ending and a clear beginning but do not occur throughout an interval, yet still occur at high rate? - Partial interval
Data are plotted on line graphs according to: - The number of instances of the behavior across time Describing behavioral function is an attempt to explain: - Why the behavior is happening The purpose of preference assessment is to: - Identify reinforcers for increasing behaviors Which of the following is an example of a paired stimulus preference assessment being implemented? - A behavior technician presents 2 items each trial and asks the learner to make a choice Which of the following is an example of permanent product recording? - 5 broken chairs after the incident The y, or vertical, axis on a graph shows: - The number of behaviors In a multiple stimulus with replacement preference assessment, the choice the learner makes on the initial trial is: - Replaced and put with different items on the second trial What the learner does after receiving a discriminative stimulus is called a: - Response or behavior Which of the following could be a response that immediately follows a discriminative stimulus? - Puts object in cup
Place a reinforcer where the learner will aske for it Why is it important for behaviors that are targeted for token reinforcement to be clearly defined? - So that everyone involved in delivering or receiving tokens knows which behaviors are being reinforced In which of the following scenarios does a behavioral technician need to communicate to their supervisors as soon as possible? - If they are asked to do something they don't know how to do and need assistance Undesirable behavior can be reduced by: - Reinforcing alternative behaviors using extinction or punishment Reinforcing behaviors that are incompatible with hitting would fall under which component of a behavioral intervention plan? - Consequence strategies Differential reinforcement works by: - Reinforcing only the behaviors that should be increased while removing reinforcement from behaviors that should be decreased Escape extinction works by: - Not allowing the individual to escape what they were trying to avoid Type 1 punishment involves: - Adding a condition to reduce a behavior Which of the following is an example of overcorrection? - Susie had to clean the desks she wrote on
Which of the following is the best method for ensuring confidentiality of written documentation of a session? - Store all notes in a file folder and lock them in a file cabinet Which of the following reflects the BEST description of documentation within the role of the behavior technician? - Behavior technicians must collect data, record behavioral incidences and write session notes A behavior technician is graphing data using a computer and spreadsheet program. Which is the best way to ensure the information is kept private? - Use passwords for accessing the computer and the spreadsheet program Which of the following statements best reflects how often the RBTs should communicate with their supervisor? - RBTs should communicate with their supervisors in an ongoing manner If a behavior technician suspects abuses or neglect of a client they should: - Report their suspicions immediately to their supervisor according to organization policy Which of the following statements is most appropriate for an objective session note? - Oliver performed all the steps to the handwashing routine independently Which of the following may need to be reported to the supervisor immediately - A client's change in behavior when a sibling entered the therapy room unintentionally Jonah is a client who receives ABA intervention. His mother just informed the behavior technician that Jonah will be changing schools next week. Why is it important for the behavior technician to report this to the supervisor? - A big change may have an impact on Jonah's behavior and progress. His program may need to be altered to accommodate the transition
