RBT Assessment Test #2
In the absence of any prompts or reinforcers, a therapist gives a client an instruction and notes the learner's replies. What exactly is the therapist doing?
A therapist gives an instruction at baseline but doesn't give any cues or repercussions for the client's reaction. We can analyze the client's skill set in this manner before starting treatment.
A therapist is observing problem behavior and collecting data on what occurs before, during, and after the response. What type of assessment is the therapist conducting?
Problem behavior is the most typical reason for a functional assessment. To discover the potential purpose of problem behavior, the therapist will collect Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence (ABC) data. What happened prior to the act is referred to as the antecedent. The manner in which the behavior was manifested (i.e., operational definition). What happened as a result of the behavior.
Jayson is gathering information about a client's capacity to use the restroom independently. Because toileting is so important to teach, Jackson wants to have precise baseline data, so he'll keep track of it for three months. What are the disadvantages of this baseline protocol?
While lengthier baselines provide more accurate approximations of the client's level prior to treatment, delaying baseline implies the client will have to wait longer for the clinical team to teach the target skill. For certain customers, toileting training might take a long time, therefore the sooner we can start focusing on this, the sooner the client will have mastered toileting.
A BCBA is assisting a problematic student in the classroom. The BCBA speaks with the child's teacher to learn more about the disruptive conduct and the events that occurred immediately before and after it. Which method does the psychologist use to conduct a functional behavior assessment?
Indirect evaluation entails interviewing people who are familiar with the client and the target behavior when conducting a functional behavioral assessment. Asking the client's professors questions serves as an indirect assessment in this scenario.
________data uses an open-ended form when gathering ABC data.
Data collection for narrative ABC data is done on an open-ended document. There are no pre-made checklists, unlike structured ABC data. The therapist is responsible for writing all of the information.
A BCaBA is attempting to figure out why Paul strikes his younger brother so often. The BCaBA observes this problem behavior on multiple days and at various times. The BCaBA collects baseline and ABC data in the natural environment during the observation. The BCaBA employs which approach of functional assessment?
Direct assessment, as opposed to indirect methods, entails directly monitoring the client and target response when conducting a functional assessment to understand why issue behaviors are occurring.
When gathering ABC data, you'll use a_________ pre-made checklist.
The collection of structured ABC data takes place on a document with pre-made checklists. If a demand was made and a problem behavior occurred as a result, the observer would mark "demand" in the antecedent section.
With a client and his parents, an RBT is doing an observation. They're at the movies, and the RBT is gathering information about elopement. The RBT saw that, despite the fact that the client entered the theater and sat down properly inside, the client engaged in elopement as soon as the movie started and the auditorium turned dark. After that, the parents discovered the client alone in the bathroom. The parents pleaded with him to return to the theater, but he refused. As a result, the family exited the cinema. Determine the outcome in this case.
What happened after the goal response is the consequence (i.e., elopement). In this example, the result is his parents' (ineffective) suggestions and the family leaving the movie theater. The troublesome behavior of elopement is most likely being maintained by escaping from the movie theater.

The RBT saw that, despite the fact that the client entered the theater and sat down properly inside, the client engaged in elopernent as soon as the movie started and the auditorium turned dark. After that, the parents discovered the client alone in the bathroom. The parents pleaded with him to return to the theater, but he refused. As a result, the family exited the cinema. In this case, identify the antecedent.
What happened before the goal reaction is referred to as the antecedent (i .e., elopement). The antecedent in this situation is when the movie begins and the lights dim. Elopement is more likely to occur during these periods.
ABC data on physical violence is collected by a therapist. Which of the following items should not be included?
To say that the hypothetical function is control would be incorrect. Control isn't one of the four ABA-identified functions. The reason for a behavior's occurrence is referred to as its function. Attention, tangibles, escape, and automatic functions are examples of functions. Social positive, social negative, automatic positive, and automatic negative are some of the other terms.
On physical aggressiveness, a therapist gathers ABC data. Which of the following would be unsuitable for inclusion?
As an antecedent, it would be incorrect to write that the client was bored. Every component should be observable and measurable, including the antecedent and consequence. "Bored" is a label; it should be changed to action verbs or accompanied by a specific environmental occurrence (e.g., the Therapist's attention was divided).
With a client and his parents, an RBT is doing an observation. They're at the movies, and the RBT is gathering information about elopement. The RBT saw that, despite the fact that the client entered the theater and sat down properly inside, the client engaged in elopement as soon as the movie started and the auditorium turned dark. After that, the parents discovered the client alone in the bathroom. The parents pleaded with him to return to the theater, but he refused. As a result, the family exited the cinema. In this case, identify the desired behavior.
The clinical team is working to either minimize (if problematic) or increase the target behavior (if desirable). Elopement is the most prominent negative behavior in this situation. As a result, elopement is the desired behavior.
Which way of completing a functional behavior evaluation produces the most accurate, valid data among the options provided?
Direct assessment entails physically monitoring the client and his or her behavior, whereas the other approaches are indirect and do not entail direct observation. As a result, direct assessment yields the most reliable data.
Simon is a 12-year-old boy who enjoys playing on the playground with his buddies. Elopement is one of Simon's problem behaviors, which entails leaving his house and running out to the neighborhood playground without asking permission. This usually happens while his parents are at work or cleaning the house. Simons pals are always glad to see him when he arrives to the playground, and they laugh and joke together until Simon's parents discover that he has left the house. Identify the example's antecedent.
What happened before the goal reaction is referred to as the antecedent (i.e., elopement). The antecedent in this situation is when Simon's parents are working and cleaning the house. Elopement is more likely to occur during these periods.
Using ABC data, a therapist has discovered hypothetical functions of attention and escape for physical aggressiveness. What kind of evaluation did the therapist conduct?
Therapists use a functional assessment to figure out why a problem behavior is occurring. To discover hypothetical functions, data on Antecedent - Behavior - Consequence (ABC) is collected. What happened prior to the act is referred to as the antecedent. The manner in which the behavior was manifested (i .e., operational definition). What happened as a result of the behavior.

Identify the example's target behavior.
The clinical team is striving to either decrease [if problematic] or promote the desired behavior (if desirable). Elopement is the most prominent negative behavior in this situation. As a result, Simon's eloping to the playground is the target behavior.
