Study Notes
Assessment and RBTs
- RBTs are prohibited from administering standardized assessments, which are tests developed through psychometric science and scored consistently.
- RBTs may enter data into electronic platforms for standardized assessments.
- Variations from standardized procedures must be reported to a BCBA supervisor.
Types of Assessments
- Structured observations are usually conducted in natural settings to better gauge behaviors.
- Developmental checklists target infants and toddlers, assessing critical early skills.
- Diagnostic assessments can be performed by psychologists.
Behavior Analysis
- Behavior analytic assessments identify specific target behaviors and monitor treatment outcomes.
- Skills that build toward larger behavioral skills are known as component skills.
- Repeated measures involve continuous assessment to track progress over time.
Skill Categories
- Adaptive skills include practical abilities such as shoe tying.
- Language assessments by analysts are grounded in Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior.
- Social skills evaluations consider aspects of sexuality.
Measurement Techniques
- Duration of behavior is a useful metric for monitoring behaviors like ranting.
- Latency can effectively measure the response time between stimuli and behavior occurrence.
Prompting and Reinforcement
- Prompt fading is the gradual reduction of prompts to promote independence.
- Full physical prompts represent the most intrusive prompting method.
- Reinforcement schedules, like tips received by a waiter, vary based on service frequency.
Ethical Considerations
- Maintaining client dignity is crucial and breaches should be followed by debriefing sessions.
- Focusing on building empathy should begin before a child fully understands the concept.
Developmental Disability Criteria
- Developmental disabilities must meet three criteria for classification.
Contextual Behavior
- Repeated personal fouls in basketball leading to a benching serve as behavioral consequences that reduce undesirable actions.
- Statements of empathy should not be deferred until after mastery of empathy but should be encouraged in practice.
Graphing and Data Collection
- Automatic graphing tools do not replace the need for accuracy checks inherent in human-generated graphs.
- Condition phase change lines in graphs are created using error bars.
- Frequency data must include time frames to be meaningful.
Student Accommodations
- Most high school students with disabilities receive accommodations; however, many do not see similar support in college settings.
