Session notes should include specific, objective descriptions of client behavior and progress toward goals, not opinions or assumptions.

Interobserver agreement (IOA) reflects the consistency between two or more observers recording the same behavior, ensuring reliability of the data collected.

Documenting changes to a BIP is essential to maintain transparency, track treatment modifications, and ensure ethical and effective intervention.

According to ethical guidelines, RBTs should politely decline any gifts and explain the need to maintain professional boundaries with clients and families.

The RBT assists the BCBA in implementing and collecting data during assessments but does not conduct assessments independently.

Freezing water naturally discourages behavior due to its unpleasantness, making it an unconditioned punisher—not learned, but biologically aversive.

This is an example of extinction, where the RBT withholds reinforcement (attention) for problem behavior and reinforces alternative behavior.

Permanent product measurement captures the outcome of a behavior (e.g., completed worksheets, cleaned rooms), useful when behavior itself doesn’t need to be observed directly.

To avoid dual relationships and maintain ethical boundaries, the RBT should continue with the current client and refer the cousin to another professional.

MSWO (Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement) is a method used in preference assessments where items are presented simultaneously and not replaced once selected.

Prompting the correct response after an error, then re-presenting the instruction, is part of error correction procedures.

NET uses natural motivation to teach skills, so prompting a functional mand is appropriate in this context.

In forward chaining, the first step in the sequence is taught first, and the rest are prompted until mastered.

The skill acquisition plan provides structured guidance for teaching new behaviors, including targets, procedures, and how to measure progress.

Modeling, verbal, and physical prompts are all examples of response prompts used to help learners perform the correct behavior during skill teaching.

Prompting is an antecedent strategy because it occurs before the behavior and serves to guide or elicit the correct response from the learner.

Reinforcement must immediately follow the desired response to strengthen the association and increase the likelihood of future occurrences.

Event recording is a continuous measurement method that captures every instance a target behavior occurs during observation.

Reviewing data only every two months is too infrequent to monitor progress and make timely decisions; effective plans require regular data analysis.

ABC data (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) is used to identify potential triggers and consequences maintaining problem behavior.

Inter-response time (IRT) measures the time between the end of one instance of a behavior and the beginning of the next; it helps track pacing of repeated behaviors.

Tokens are used as conditioned reinforcers, and the item or activity received in exchange is called a backup reinforcer.

This is an example of generalization, where a learned behavior is maintained and applied in different environments or with various people.

Dates should be placed on the X-axis of a line graph because it represents the passage of time, which is essential for tracking behavior changes over sessions.

This is an example of positive reinforcement because a token is added after a desirable behavior (brushing teeth) to increase the likelihood of the behavior happening again.
