RBT Skill Acquisition Quiz

1 / 24

Giving a reward after a correct response

Ignoring problem behavior

Providing a token for completing a task

2 / 24

Which of the following involves teaching a learner to differentiate between two or more stimuli?

Chaining

Shaping

Discrimination training

Prompt fading

3 / 24

Which prompt is the least intrusive?

Verbal prompt

Physical prompt

Gestural prompt

Model prompt

4 / 24

In DTT, when would you provide reinforcement?

After an incorrect response

Immediately after a correct response

After a delayed response

At the end of the session

5 / 24

Which of the following is an example of task analysis?

Using a visual schedule to help a child complete a morning routine

Breaking down the steps required to tie shoes into smaller teachable parts

Reinforcing a child for completing an entire task

Correcting every error made during a learning session

6 / 24

Which of the following strategies can promote generalization of skills?

Teaching the skill in a single environment

Teaching with only one prompt type

Teaching across different settings, people, and stimuli

Using a highly structured learning environment

7 / 24

What is stimulus control?

When a behavior occurs more often in the presence of a specific stimulus

When a behavior is suppressed after a punishment

When behavior occurs in various environments without prompting

When a behavior increases without reinforcement

8 / 24

Shaping is most appropriate for:

Teaching a behavior that the learner already knows how to perform

Teaching a complex behavior that the learner does not yet know how to perform

Decreasing the frequency of problem behavior

Increasing problem behavior

9 / 24

Which of the following is an example of generalization?

A child saying “hello” to different people in various environments

A child consistently performing a skill only in the therapy room

A child needing prompting to complete a task every time

A child refusing to perform a task unless reinforcement is provided

10 / 24

When would you implement error correction in discrete trial training?

After a correct response

After an incorrect or no response

After reinforcement is delivered

When a task is mastered

11 / 24

Which of the following is an example of positive reinforcement?

Removing a disliked task when the child asks for a break

Giving a sticker to a child after completing a task correctly

Ignoring a child’s challenging behavior

Time-out after a problematic behavior

12 / 24

What is errorless learning?

Teaching a skill without allowing the learner to make mistakes by providing immediate prompts

Allowing the learner to make mistakes and correcting them afterward

Reinforcing only independent, correct responses

Gradually increasing task difficulty until mastery is achieved

13 / 24

The goal of generalization in skill acquisition is:

For the learner to perform the skill in various environments and with different people

To teach only one specific behavior in a controlled setting

To reduce the number of prompts required for a task

To increase the intensity of reinforcement used

14 / 24

Which of the following is a key component of a task analysis?

Measuring the intensity of behavior

Breaking down a complex skill into smaller, teachable steps

Applying reinforcement to every behavior

Providing continuous prompts throughout the task

15 / 24

A behavior analyst uses differential reinforcement of successive approximations to teach a child to say "water" by first reinforcing “wa.” This technique is called:

Shaping

Task analysis

Discrimination training

Chaining

16 / 24

Which of the following is an example of using naturalistic teaching strategies?

Providing reinforcement in the natural environment when a child requests a toy

Using a token system in the classroom to reinforce correct answers

Delivering prompts in a structured, one-on-one teaching session

Ignoring challenging behavior to reduce reinforcement

17 / 24

What is the difference between forward chaining and backward chaining?

Forward chaining begins with the first step, backward chaining begins with the last step

Forward chaining teaches all steps at once, backward chaining teaches steps individually

Forward chaining requires no reinforcement, backward chaining reinforces every step

There is no significant difference between the two

18 / 24

A therapist gradually reduces the amount of assistance provided as a learner begins to master a skill. This process is known as:

Generalization

Shaping

Prompt fading

Chaining

19 / 24

Which type of prompt involves physically guiding the learner through the behavior?

Verbal prompt

Gestural prompt

Physical prompt

Model prompt

20 / 24

When a new skill is being taught and the behavior is followed by a reinforcer, this process is called:

Extinction

Punishment

Positive reinforcement

Negative reinforcement

21 / 24

What is the first step in developing a skill acquisition plan?

Selecting reinforcers

Defining the target skill

Writing the behavior intervention plan

Conducting a functional behavior assessment

22 / 24

Discrete Trial Training (DTT) typically involves which sequence?

Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

Antecedent, Reinforcement, Behavior

Behavior, Consequence, Motivation

Instruction, Prompt, Response, Reinforcement

23 / 24

Which of the following is a method used to teach complex skills by breaking them down into smaller, teachable units?

Chaining

Shaping

Discrimination training

Prompt fading

24 / 24

In forward chaining, the learner:

Completes the entire sequence of steps independently

Learns the last step first, and then moves backward through the sequence

Is taught each step in the correct sequence from beginning to end

Receives reinforcement after completing the entire chain of behaviors
