RBT - Registered Behavior Technician Behavior Reduction Test #3 1

Question 1

Which of the following BEST describes differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA)?

Accepted Answer

Reinforcing a specific appropriate behavior that serves as an alternative to the problem behavior

Answer

Reinforcing any behavior other than the target problem behavior

Answer

Withholding reinforcement for all behaviors during a set time interval

Answer

Providing reinforcement on a fixed schedule regardless of behavior

Question 2

When implementing a punishment procedure, an RBT notices the target behavior is increasing rather than decreasing. This MOST likely means:

Accepted Answer

The consequence being delivered is actually functioning as a reinforcer

Answer

The procedure is working as expected during an extinction burst

Answer

The behavior is on a variable ratio schedule

Answer

The RBT should immediately increase the intensity of the consequence

Question 3

A response cost procedure involves:

Accepted Answer

Removing a specified amount of a previously earned reinforcer following a problem behavior

Answer

Adding an aversive stimulus following a problem behavior

Answer

Withholding all reinforcement for a set period of time

Answer

Blocking access to reinforcement by redirecting the individual

Question 4

An extinction procedure is MOST effective when combined with:

Accepted Answer

Reinforcement of an alternative or incompatible behavior

Answer

Intermittent reinforcement of the problem behavior

Answer

Increased prompting of the problem behavior

Answer

A higher magnitude punishment consequence

Question 5

Which of the following is an example of a noncontingent reinforcement (NCR) procedure?

Accepted Answer

Delivering a preferred item on a fixed-time schedule regardless of behavior

Answer

Providing a preferred item only after 5 minutes of on-task behavior

Answer

Removing attention each time the problem behavior occurs

Answer

Reinforcing progressively longer intervals without the problem behavior

Question 6

Before implementing a behavior reduction procedure, the RBT should FIRST:

Accepted Answer

Ensure the procedure is included in the individual's behavior intervention plan (BIP)

Answer

Select the least restrictive punishment available

Answer

Conduct a preference assessment independently

Answer

Increase the rate of reinforcement for all behaviors
