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 |
