  1. Which schedule of reinforcement typically produces the highest and most steady rate of responding?

    Answer: Variable ratio

    Variable ratio schedules deliver reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses, producing high and steady rates of responding with minimal post-reinforcement pauses. Slot machines are a common real-world example of this schedule.

  2. A behavior that is maintained by gaining attention from others is said to be under the control of:

    Answer: Social positive reinforcement

    Social positive reinforcement occurs when a behavior is maintained by the delivery of attention, praise, or interaction from another person. Identifying this function guides the selection of appropriate behavior reduction and replacement strategies.

  3. What does the "A" in the ABC data collection method stand for?

    Answer: Antecedent

    In ABC recording, the "A" refers to the antecedent — the event or condition that immediately precedes the behavior. Recording antecedents helps identify triggers and environmental conditions that set the occasion for problem behaviors.

  4. Prompting a client and then gradually reducing the level of assistance over time is called:

    Answer: Prompt fading

    Prompt fading is the systematic reduction of prompt intensity or intrusiveness over time so that the client eventually responds to the natural cue without assistance. Failure to fade prompts can result in prompt dependence.

  5. Which of the following is an example of a conditioned punisher?

    Answer: A verbal "no" that has been paired with loss of privileges

    A conditioned punisher acquires its suppressive function through repeated pairing with an unconditioned punisher or the loss of reinforcers. A verbal "no" becomes a conditioned punisher when it has been reliably associated with aversive consequences.

  6. An RBT notices a colleague falsifying session data. The most appropriate immediate action is to:

    Answer: Report the concern to the supervising BCBA

    RBTs are obligated to report ethical concerns, including data falsification, to their supervising BCBA. Falsified data can lead to ineffective or harmful treatment decisions and violates professional ethics standards.
