RBT Generalization and Maintenance 5

Question 1

Which technique involves gradually withdrawing structured teaching supports so a client functions in natural routines without prompts?

Accepted Answer

Fading

Answer

Fading systematically reduces the level of prompting to promote independent responding and support generalization.

Question 2

To promote generalization, an RBT teaches tooth brushing using the client's own bathroom, school bathroom, and grandma's bathroom. This is called:

Accepted Answer

Multiple exemplar training

Answer

Multiple exemplar training exposes the learner to many examples of a concept across settings, people, and materials to promote generalization.

Question 3

A skill that was mastered in therapy but is never performed at home without reminders is BEST described as lacking:

Accepted Answer

Setting generalization

Answer

Setting generalization means the behavior occurs across different environments; without it, skills stay tied to the training context.

Question 4

Which approach involves naturally occurring reinforcement in the environment to help sustain learned behaviors?

Accepted Answer

Natural community of reinforcement

Answer

Trapping or recruiting a natural community of reinforcement means the behavior contacts naturally available reinforcers that sustain it without ongoing intervention.

Question 5

An RBT introduces distractors and variations during maintenance checks. What is the PRIMARY reason for this?

Accepted Answer

To assess whether skill is truly generalized and durable

Answer

Adding variability during maintenance probes tests whether a skill is truly robust and generalized versus only rote or context-dependent.
