RBT Reinforcement
RBT Exam Prep
Question | Answer |
---|---|
What are the 4 common functions of behavior? | EATS- Escape, Attention, Tangible, Sensory (automatic) |
Antecedent manipulations | Altering either the antecedents or the motivating operations associated with a response to either increase or decrease the rate of that response |
Give an example of modifying motivating operations to decrease challenging behaviors? | If a learner typically engages in aggression when hungry, have the learner eat a meal before working on tasks |
What is a challenge with antecedent manipulations? | A replacement skill has not been taught, the challenging behaviors will re-emerge if the previously evoking antecedents re-occur |
What are 4 common schedules of reinforcement? | FR (Fixed Ratio); FI (Fixed Interval); VR (Variable Ratio); VI (Variable Interval) |
What scheduled provides reinforcement following every correct rresponse? | FR1 (Fixed Ratio 1) or CRF (continuous reinforcement) |
What is an FR-X schedule? | The learner must engage in the target behavior X times before reinforcement is provided |
What is an FI-X interval? | Reinforcement is provided when the target behavior occurs after X seconds/ minutes has passed |
Give an example of an FR-3 schedule. | The learner is given access to the tablet after 3 correct responses during DTT |
Give an example of an FI- 1 week. | The learner is provided reinforcement for cleaning the bathroom every Sunday. |
What are some examples of unconditioned reinforcers? | Water, food, sex, warmth when cold, coolness when hot |
How is a conditioned reinforcer created? | Following the specified behavior, the neutral stimulus and unconditioned reinforcer are repetitively presented simultaneously (AKA pairing) |
Fixed ratio reinforcement? | Reinforcement is delivered after a specified number of correct responses |
Variable ratio reinforcement? | Reinforcement is delivered after an average number of correct responses |
Fixed interval reinforcement? | Reinforcement is provided following a specified period of time |
Variable interval reinforcement | Reinforcement is provided after an average amount of time |
