B-01


Define and provide examples of behavior and the environment in observable and measurable terms.

Behavior: directly observable and measurable actions of physical functions, anything that can be seen or heard. Thoughts and feelings are NOT behaviors. Be specific: tantrum = bad, falling to the floor and screaming = good.

Environment: anything that we perceive through the senses

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Preference Assessment






Determining what items are the most preferred by a client in order to increase the clients motivation to complete tasks and instructions.

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Stimulus Preference Assessments


Survey

Stimulus: gathering a pool of potential reinforcers and systematically identifying the clients preferences


Survey: asking the client or significant other what the clients preferences are (verbally or visually)

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Free Operant Observation


Contrived FOO


Naturalistic FOO

Free Operant Observation: observing and timing how long a client engages with an item and which items they engage with


Contrived: providing brief exposure to each item then watching to see which items are engaged with


Naturalistic: observations occurring in the clients natural environment, engagement time is recorded for every item the client engages with

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Trial Based Methods


Single Stimulus


Paired Stimulus

Trial Based: items listed as high, medium, or low preference based on the number/amount of times the client engages with them


Single: giving one item at a time


Paired: giving two items at a time until all items are ranked in order

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Multiple Stimuli with Replacement


Multiple Stimuli without Replacement

With Replacement: giving multiple items to choose from then replacing all items that were not chosen

Without Replacement: giving multiple items to choose from then removing the chosen item from the array and rearranging the remaining items

B-02


Conduct preference assessments.


Reinforcer Assessments


Multiple Schedule Reinforcer Assessments


Progressive Ratio Reinforcer Assessments

Reinforcer Assessment: measuring a stimuli's effectiveness as a reinforcer


Multiple: reinforcer used in a contingent setting as well as a non-contingent setting - if behavior increases it is not an effective reinforcer


Progressive: assess the effectiveness of a reinforcer in response to requirement increases

B-03


Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures.


Behavioral and Environmental Assessment


Preference Assessments


Individualized Assessments

B&E: conducting observations of a clients behavior in his/her natural environment


-RBT can provide observations of the client's behavior


Preference: determine what items are most preferred by a client


-RBT can assist with conducting stimulus preference or reinforcer assessments


Individualized Assessments: Curriculum based, developmental and/or social skills assessments conducted in interview format

B-03


Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures.


Functional Assessments


Probing

Functional Assessments: determining cause and effect relationship between environment and behavior


-RBT can assist during Experimental Analysis, collect data during descriptive assessments, or provide information regarding the client


Probing: asking a client to perform a task we are unsure they can perform without providing assistant


-RBT can assist by probing new programs to confirm data collected during earlier assessments

B-04


Assist with functional assessment procedures.


Functional Assessments

Determining the cause and effect relationship between the environment and a behavior and altering either the antecedent or consequence or teaching a replacement behavior

B-04


Assist with functional assessment procedures.


Functional (Experimental) Analysis


Descriptive Assessment


Indirect Assessment

Experimental: arranging antecedents and consequences so that their separate effect on a problem behavior can be observed and the function of the behavior can be determined


Descriptive: direct observation of behavior under naturally occurring conditions


Indirect: using interviews, checklists, rating scales or questionnaires to obtain information from individuals familiar with the client
