Behavior Analysis Quiz & Flashcards for RBT

Extinction can be explained as negative punishment.

Teaching procedures include prompting methods, error correction, and ______________.

If the learner is responding in a way that is not addressed by the prompting, error correction, and reinforcement procedures, the RBT must notify whom?

Who is considered the father of behavior analysis?

Least effective prompt data collection is a method that is used to track progress in errorless learning.

Skill acquisition goals are based on what?

Teaching should always occur in the same setting and at the same time.

Data collection procedures may also include information about completion criteria and reversal criteria.

Before a session, the RBT must ensure all ______________ are available, organized, and accessible.

Goals are more specific versions of benchmark objectives.

RBTs must follow skill acquisition plans exactly.

Extinction is defined as eliminating a previously learned behavior by withholding reinforcement.

Extinction procedures will vary based on behavior ____________________.

One risk of using extinction alone to treat a problem behavior is what?

Teaching by reinforcing the sequential completion of steps in a task analysis is called what?

Extinction and Behavior Analysis

Extinction is a form of negative punishment aimed at eliminating previously learned behaviors by withholding reinforcement.
When utilizing extinction procedures, variations depend on the function of the behavior being addressed.
A significant risk of employing extinction alone includes exacerbating the problem behavior or causing undesirable side effects.

Teaching Procedures

Teaching procedures consist of prompting methods, error correction, and reinforcement procedures, crucial for effective skill acquisition.
Errorless learning is not effectively tracked through least effective prompt data collection methods.
Skill acquisition goals should be based on results from assessments, ensuring personalized teaching plans.

Data Collection and Materials

Data collection must include not only skill performance but also completion and reversal criteria to gauge progress effectively.
RBTs must ensure that all necessary materials for sessions are organized and readily accessible before starting.

Goals and Skill Acquisition Plans

Goals serve as distinct, measurable objectives that build towards broader benchmark objectives.
RBTs are required to adhere strictly to skill acquisition plans to maintain fidelity in teaching methods.

Behavioral Analysis Foundations

B.F. Skinner is recognized as the father of behavior analysis, pioneering fundamental concepts in the field.
Teaching should not be confined to consistent settings and times, allowing for flexible learning opportunities across various environments.

Chaining in Skill Development

Chaining is a teaching method that reinforces the sequential completion of steps within a task analysis, facilitating skill mastery through structured learning.

Error Correction Protocol

In cases where a learner's responses are not adequately addressed by existing prompting or correction methods, it is essential for RBTs to notify the BCBA for further guidance.

This quiz covers essential concepts in behavior analysis such as extinction, teaching procedures, and effective data collection strategies. It emphasizes the importance of customizing teaching plans based on assessment results and highlights challenges in tracking learning progress. Test your understanding of these key principles in behavior management and skill acquisition.
