Systems, Supervision, and Management Flashcards

Which step should occur first when designing a staff training program based on behavioral principles?

Answer: Conduct a task analysis and define target competencies

Effective behavioral staff training begins with a task analysis to identify the specific skills and competencies trainees must demonstrate, ensuring training targets are clearly defined.

According to BACB standards, an RBT must receive supervision from a qualified BCBA or BCaBA with what minimum frequency?

Answer: Once per month with at least one direct observation

BACB RBT standards require at least one monthly supervisory contact that includes direct, in-person or remote observation of the RBT implementing behavior-analytic services.

In OBM, which intervention uses publicly posted data showing individuals' or teams' performance to increase motivation?

Answer: Performance feedback with public posting

Public posting of performance data provides visible, ongoing feedback that can function as a reinforcer or establishing operation, often increasing the rate of desired work behaviors.

What does 'treatment integrity' (also called procedural fidelity) measure in ABA?

Answer: The degree to which an intervention is implemented as designed and specified

Treatment integrity (procedural fidelity) measures how accurately and consistently an intervention is implemented according to its written protocol, ensuring changes in behavior can be attributed to the intended procedures.

Which competency area on the BACB Fifth Edition Task List covers selecting and implementing interventions to address behavioral excesses?

Answer: Section H: Selecting and Implementing Interventions

Section H of the BACB Fifth Edition Task List addresses selecting, implementing, and evaluating behavior-reduction and behavior-acquisition interventions.

A BCBA is training a new RBT and uses BST. After modeling the procedure, the BCBA should do what next?

Answer: Have the RBT rehearse the procedure and then provide specific performance feedback

Following modeling in BST, the trainee rehearses the skill (role-play or in vivo practice) and the trainer delivers specific, immediate performance feedback to shape accurate implementation.
