RBT Skill Acquisition and Training 2

Question 1

In a discrete trial teaching (DTT) format, what is the purpose of the inter-trial interval (ITI)?

Accepted Answer

To allow a brief pause between trials to separate stimuli and prevent carry-over effects

Answer

To provide reinforcement for correct responses

Answer

To record data between trials

Answer

To present the next discriminative stimulus

Question 2

A student consistently needs a physical prompt to complete a hand-washing task. The RBT begins guiding the wrist instead of the full hand. Which prompting strategy is being used?

Accepted Answer

Graduated guidance (prompt fading within physical prompts)

Answer

Stimulus fading

Answer

Prompt delay

Answer

Errorless learning with full physical prompt

Question 3

Which of the following describes a multiple exemplar training approach in skill acquisition?

Accepted Answer

Teaching a skill across several different stimuli, settings, and people to promote generalization

Answer

Teaching one example of a skill until it reaches 100% accuracy before moving on

Answer

Using multiple prompts in sequence within a single trial

Answer

Providing multiple reinforcement schedules during one session

Question 4

What is the defining feature of naturalistic teaching procedures compared to structured discrete trial training?

Accepted Answer

Naturalistic procedures embed learning opportunities in the child's natural environment and daily routines

Answer

Naturalistic procedures always use more prompts than DTT

Answer

Naturalistic procedures do not include any reinforcement

Answer

Naturalistic procedures are only used for verbal behavior targets

Question 5

During a skill acquisition session, a client gives an incorrect response. The RBT immediately provides the correct answer and re-presents the trial. Which error correction procedure is this?

Accepted Answer

No-no-prompt error correction

Answer

Prompt delay

Answer

Transfer trial error correction

Answer

Model-lead-test error correction

Question 6

A BCBA writes a program in which the RBT presents a target item alongside two distractors. As the client achieves mastery, additional distractors are added. What procedure is being described?

Accepted Answer

Discrimination training with expanding arrays

Answer

Stimulus generalization training

Answer

Chaining

Answer

Multiple schedule training
