True
False
Observing the client in the natural setting is another way to assess their skills
True
False

- Provide a baseline of skills and deficits - Show us if the client is progressing - Help us choose what skills to teach to improve independence and replace problematic behaviors
Skills assessments are important in behavior-analytic services because they
The BCBA supervisor conducts a skills assessment on the client before treatment starts
True
False
It is important, but not necessary to know what motivates the client during each treatment session
True
False
Preference assessment refers to a variety of procedures to determine: - What a client prefers - The relative preference values (high vs low) of what the client prefers - The conditions under which those preferences value remain in effect for the client
The RBT may NOT be assigned to conduct reinforcement assessment interviews.
True
False
Token economies are reinforcement systems that condition reinforcers by associating them with a token (object) that represent a reinforcer or several available reinforcers for trade in.
Teaching a new behavior requires progressively:
Shaping
Modeling
Cueing
Fading
Shaping requires reinforcing closer and closer approximations of the desired behavior.
Modeling requires demonstrating the desired behavior.
Cueing requires showing the student under what conditions the new behaviors should be performed.
Fading requires the gradual decrease of prompting, cueing and reinforcing the new behavior while maintaining it.
Types of Reinforcers include:
Token systems
Differential Reinforcement of Alternative
Differential Reinforcement of Incompatible
Differential Reinforcement of other behaviors
Reinforcement must be:
Establishing Operation (EO) increases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer (usually involves deprivation of a reinforcer)
Abolishing Operation (AO) Decreases the effectiveness of a stimulus as a reinforcer Usually involves having increased access to the stimulus (satiation)
Effectiveness of a reinforcer: DISC
Deprivation of the reinforcer
Immediacy
Size
Contingency
Scratching yourself to remove an itch is an example of automatic negative reinforcement
True
False
Brian gets a token for every time he cleans up his area independently after an activity or task at school. On the first day using the token economy, Brian gets 3 out of 10 correct clean-ups; on the second day he gets 2 out of 10 and on the third day he gets 2 out of 10 again. The token in this scenario is a reinforcer
True
False

(a)
There is no difference between bribery and reinforcement
True
False
Negative reinforcement occurs when something already present is removed (taken away) as a result of a behavior and the behavior that led to this removal will increase in the future because it created a favorable outcome. True or False?
True
False

Most of what we do as human beings has been influenced by reinforcement or operant conditioning
True
False
When first teaching a new skill it is especially important to follow this principle of providing reinforcement immediately after every target behavior has occurred
True
False
The child gets a reinforcer every 3rd correct response (1:3) this is an example of a (blank) schedule of reinforcement
(a)
A theoretical difference between a fixed-ratio schedule of reinforcement versus a variable-ratio schedule is not predictable and uncertain for the individual receiving the reinforcement
True
False
Just because a behavior occurs in the absence of other people does not mean the behavior does not have some form of social reinforcement maintaining it
True
False
Not a method of managing problem behavior

Breaking down difficult or multi-step skills into simpler tasks so that the target skills do not seem so overwhelming.
True

True
False
