RBT Test 01: Foundations & Principles

RBT Test 01: Core Study Guide

This exam reviews the Science of ABA, Reinforcement, and Professional Definitions.

The Law of Effect: Behavior that is followed by a good outcome is more likely to happen again in the future.
ABC Data: Antecedents come before a behavior. Consequences come after a behavior. This is the basic unit of ABA.
Reinforcement: If a behavior increases because of a consequence, we call that consequence a reinforcer.

Test 01 Study Summary

1. Dimensions of ABA Generality is a key dimension. It means a skill lasts over time and works in different places.
2. Reinforcement Types Positive adds a stimulus. Negative removes a stimulus. Both of these make a behavior happen more often.
3. Private Events In ABA, thoughts and feelings are called private events. They happen inside the person where others cannot see them.
