RBT Assessment Test #2 2

Question 1

A child says "ball" whenever they see any round object. This is an example of:

Accepted Answer

Stimulus generalization

Answer

Stimulus generalization occurs when a response trained in the presence of one stimulus also occurs in the presence of other similar stimuli. The child is responding to a class of stimuli (round objects) rather than the specific trained item.

Question 2

Which of the following is the MOST intrusive prompt?

Accepted Answer

Full physical prompt

Answer

Full physical prompts involve the practitioner physically guiding the client through the entire response and are considered the most intrusive type of prompt. Practitioners should use the least intrusive prompt necessary to produce the correct response.

Question 3

Teaching a client to request help using sign language instead of hitting is an example of:

Accepted Answer

Functional communication training

Answer

Functional communication training (FCT) teaches a client to communicate their needs through an appropriate replacement behavior that serves the same function as the problem behavior. It is one of the most evidence-based approaches for reducing challenging behavior.

Question 4

Whole-interval recording likely _____ the true frequency of behavior compared to continuous recording.

Accepted Answer

Underestimates

Answer

Whole-interval recording scores an interval only if the behavior occurred throughout the entire interval, which can underestimate the actual occurrence of behavior. It is best used when you want to measure behaviors that need to be sustained.

Question 5

Which component of the three-term contingency signals that reinforcement is available?

Accepted Answer

The discriminative stimulus (SD)

Answer

A discriminative stimulus (SD) is a stimulus in the presence of which a specific behavior has been reinforced in the past. It signals that reinforcement is available, making the behavior more likely to occur when the SD is present.
