RBT Exam Prep Multiple Exemplar Training Using many different stimuli to teach a skill to promote generalization. Phase Change Line demonstrates a change in conditions on a graph Solid Vertical Line Represents a phase change line on a graph 3-Step Discrimination Training Procedure teach in isolation, add distracters, mix in mastered items Generalization Can occur through different settings, SDs and stimuli Functions of behavior Access to tangibles, access to attention, escape/avoidance, automatic Conditioned Reinforcer anything that is paired with a primary reinforcer Unconditioned Reinforcer things such as food and shelter that are inherently reinforcing Forward Chaining teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the first step Backward Chaining teaching a behavioral skill beginning with the last step Duration The amount of time/length that a behavior occurs for Frequency/Rate The number of times a behavior/ response occurs per unit of time Latency The length of time between an initial instruction and a learner's response Stimulus Control A situation in which the frequency, latency, duration, or amplitude of a behavior is altered by the presence or absence of an antecedent stimuli. DRA A procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished. DRI a procedure in which a behavior that serves as a desirable alternative for a challenging behavior, and which is incompatible with that challenging behavior, is reinforced while the challenging behavior is extinguished. DRO is a procedure for decreasing challenging behavior in which reinforcement is contingent on the absence of the problem behavior during or at specific times. Extinction A procedure in which a behavior that was previously reinforced is no longer reinforced and the rate of behavior decreases Extinction Burst An temporary increase in behavior that occurs at the beginning of an extinction procedure Abolishing Operation is a motivating operation that decreases the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus object, or event; makes you want something less Establishing Operation is a motivating operation that establishes the effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event as a reinforce; Makes you want something more Task Analysis Breaking a complex skill into smaller, teachable units Automatic Reinforcement Not a socially mediated reinforcement Partial Interval A interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurred at all during an interval Whole Interval An interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurs during the entire duration of an interval Momentary Time Sampling An interval recording procedure in which an observer notes whether or not a behavior occurs at the end of an interval (when the timer goes off) Interresponse Time Amount of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response class 1/2 Trials to Criterion Measure of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance Topography The physical form or shape of a behavior Magnitude The force or intensity with which a response is emitted Time Sampling Whole interval recording, partial interval recording, momentary time sampling (occurring at end of sample) Continuous measurement Recording data on all instances of specified behavior, such as through frequency and duration Discontinuous measurement Recording data on some instances of behavior, such as through whole-interval, partial-interval and momentary time sampling. 2/2
