25 MCQs beginers 1 / 25 What should an RBT do if unsure how to handle a behavior? Ignore it Try a new technique Ask the caregiver Consult the supervising BCBA RBTs should always consult their supervisor when unsure. 2 / 25 What’s one way RBTs can promote client dignity? Ignore inappropriate behavior Share client data on social media Involve clients in their own care Allow others to observe without consent Involving clients supports dignity and person-centered care. 3 / 25 A variable ratio schedule means reinforcement happens: After a fixed number of responses After a variable number of responses At fixed time intervals Every time a behavior happens Variable ratio schedules deliver reinforcement after an unpredictable number of responses. 4 / 25 When should an RBT report a client’s injury? At the end of the week Only if it seems serious Immediately and according to protocol Never—BCBA will handle it Reporting injuries right away is critical for safety and documentation. 5 / 25 What is chaining used for? Reducing behavior Increasing attention Teaching complex skills step-by-step Avoiding triggers Chaining breaks tasks into steps that are taught in sequence. 6 / 25 Which of the following best describes extinction? Giving more attention to the behavior Reinforcing alternative behaviors Withholding reinforcement for a behavior Punishing the behavior 7 / 25 What is the role of a BCBA compared to an RBT? The BCBA collects data The BCBA implements the plan The BCBA designs and monitors plans The BCBA runs daily sessions The BCBA creates and oversees treatment plans while RBTs implement them. 8 / 25 What’s the best method to decrease prompt dependency? Verbal praise Physical prompting Prompt fading Time delay Prompt fading gradually reduces help so the client becomes independent. 9 / 25 Which of the following is considered ethical conduct for RBTs? Accepting gifts Changing client goals independently Respecting client confidentiality Creating new intervention plans Maintaining confidentiality is a core part of ethical behavior. 10 / 25 Which is an example of a permanent product? Stopwatch reading Answered worksheet Recorded voice Timer Permanent products are physical outcomes of behavior, like a completed worksheet. 11 / 25 What is the primary goal of behavior intervention plans (BIP)? To punish bad behaviors To describe skill deficits To increase problem behavior To reduce challenging behaviors BIPs are created to reduce problem behaviors and teach replacement behaviors. 12 / 25 What is the role of the RBT in data collection? To write treatment plans To analyze data for trends To observe and collect data accurately To supervise BCBA staff RBTs are responsible for collecting reliable and accurate data during sessions. 13 / 25 Which of the following is NOT part of the ABC model? Antecedent Behavior Condition Consequence ABC stands for Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence. 14 / 25 What is an example of automatic reinforcement? Praise from a teacher A child spinning to feel dizzy Getting candy for sitting quietly Timeout after yelling Automatic reinforcement occurs without social interaction; the behavior itself is reinforcing. 15 / 25 What does "generalization" mean in ABA? Doing the same behavior repeatedly Learning a skill in one place Using a skill across different people and environments Forgetting a previously learned skill Generalization ensures that a skill transfers across settings and people. 16 / 25 A child claps their hands every 5 minutes. What’s the best measurement method? Frequency Latency Interval Recording Duration Frequency is best for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, like clapping. 17 / 25 Which of the following is a type of prompt? Timeout Verbal instruction Reinforcement Token Verbal prompts guide the learner toward the correct response. 18 / 25 What is the first step in a discrete trial? Reinforcement Consequence Instruction (SD) Prompting Every discrete trial begins with the delivery of the SD. 19 / 25 Which of the following is a skill acquisition procedure? Extinction Task Analysis Functional Behavior Assessment Restraint Task analysis breaks down complex skills into smaller teachable steps. 20 / 25 What does "SD" stand for in behavior analysis? Self-Determination Specific Demand Stimulus Directive Discriminative Stimulus An SD signals that reinforcement is available for a certain behavio 21 / 25 Which is an example of positive reinforcement? Taking away homework for good behavior Giving praise after task completion Ignoring a tantrum Timeout for aggression Positive reinforcement adds a stimulus (praise) to increase the likelihood of behavior. 22 / 25 When conducting a preference assessment, what are you trying to identify? Problem behaviors Task difficulty Reinforcers Baseline data Preference assessments help determine what the client enjoys, which can be used as reinforcers 23 / 25 Which tool is most commonly used in ABC data collection? Stopwatch ABC Chart Timer Frequency counter ABC charts help identify patterns in Antecedents, Behaviors, and Consequences. 24 / 25 What does latency measure? The total duration of behavior Time between instruction and behavior Number of errors made The rate of a behavior Time between instruction and behavior 25 / 25 What is the primary purpose of continuous measurement? To estimate behavior frequency To track intervals between behaviors To record every instance of behavior To summarize behavior at the end of the day Continuous measurement records every instance of behavior, which helps create accurate data for analysis Your score isThe average score is 68% 0% Restart quiz
