Study Notes

Data Assessment Preparation

Prepare with a pencil and relevant data sheets such as ABC Data, Manding, and NET.
Ensure all necessary learning materials and reinforcers are readily available.

Continuous Measurement Procedures

Involve capturing frequency and duration of behaviors consistently.

Frequency Data

Represents continuous data collected during every opportunity to assess manding behaviors.

Duration Data

Continuous data that tracks the length of specific behaviors, such as tantrums.

Discontinuous Measurement Procedures

Focus on skill acquisition data collected only on the first occurrence of a behavior in a session, known as Cold Probe Data.
Includes techniques like partial interval recording, whole interval recording, and momentary time sampling.

Partial Interval Recording

Discontinuous data method that records if a behavior occurred at least once within a defined time interval.

Whole Interval Recording

Discontinuous data technique that captures if a behavior was present throughout the entirety of the timed interval.

Momentary Time Sampling

A method of collecting discontinuous data by recording behavior at predetermined intervals, such as every few minutes.

Permanent Product Recording Procedures

Utilizes a 'card system' for tangible items that can be measured and counted to monitor progress and response accuracy.

Observable and Measurable Behavior

Behavior should be defined by observable actions, such as hitting, rather than internal states like frustration which cannot be directly seen.

Preference Assessments

Structured methods to identify potential reinforcers, including surveys or observational methods to assess a client's motivated engagements.

Assisting with Assessment Procedures

RBTs support BCBAs by collecting ABC data, aiding in assessments concerning manding, listener skills, and motor imitation.

Functional Assessment Assistance

RBTs help BCBAs by collecting ABC data during Functional Assessment Interviews and implement antecedent manipulations.

Skill Acquisition Plan Components

Must include a baseline assessment, observable and measurable goals, mastery criteria that vary by individual.

Session Preparation for Skill Acquisition Plans

Have all data sheets, preferred items, learning materials, and teaching cards organized and ready for use.

Reinforcement Contingencies

Two primary types: Continuous Reinforcement and Intermittent Reinforcement.

Continuous Reinforcement

Provides reinforcement after every successful response, effective for teaching new skills.

Intermittent/Variable Reinforcement

Implemented after mastering skills, providing reinforcement on average every 5-7 correct responses.

Discrete Trial Training (DTT)

An instructional method where skills are broken down into small, manageable steps taught sequentially through structured trials.

Naturalistic Teaching Procedures (NET)

Utilizes reinforcing activities to promote learning; includes manding opportunities and can overlap with Incidental Teaching methods.
