Question 1 of 15
1. Question
This consequence increases the future likelihood of behavior.
Correct
Reinforcement increases the future likelihood of behavior. Punishment does the opposite – it decrease the future likelihood of behavior. Motivation impacts the value of reinforcement.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 4
Reinforcement increases the future likelihood of behavior. Punishment does the opposite – it decrease the future likelihood of behavior. Motivation impacts the value of reinforcement. -
Question 2 of 15
2. Question
Reinforcement is delivered, on average, every 2 minutes following the first response after the time is up. What reinforcement schedule is this?
Correct
Remember what the letters stand for. F = fixed, V = variable, R = ratio (response), I = interval (time). If the reinforcement is delivered on an average time schedule than that schedule is a variable interval. The number is just the amount of time or number of responses.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 1

Question 3 of 15
3. Question
This procedure involves reinforcing gradual changes in behavior.
Correct
Shaping = reinforcing successful approximations of behavior. If you are reinforcing each gradual change in behavior you are shaping that behavior into the final behavior you want to see. Example – the word bubble. Reinforce for “b” then reinforce for “bub” then reinforce for “bubble”
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 1

Question 4 of 15
4. Question
A little boy is playing with his toys in his room. Holding one of his stuffed animal dolls, he looks at it and says “Zebra!” What type of verbal behavior is this?
Correct
A tact is just a label. The boy is labeling the zebra. An echoic would be if the boy said “zebra” after someone said “zebra”. An intraverbal would be if the boy said “zebra” when someone asked “what animal is this”.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 3

Question 5 of 15
5. Question
Which of the following is a common strategy for reducing undesirable behaviors in individuals with developmental disabilities?
Correct
Extinction is a behavioral reduction strategy that involves discontinuing reinforcement of a previously reinforced behavior, leading to a decrease in that behavior over time. It is effective when the behavior is maintained by reinforcement, as removing that reinforcement typically results in the behavior diminishing. However, it may initially lead to an increase in the behavior before it decreases, known as an extinction burst.

Question 6 of 15
6. Question
In order to effectively implement behavior reduction strategies, which factor should be considered first?
Correct
Understanding the function of a behavior is crucial for effective behavior reduction. Different behaviors serve different purposes, such as gaining attention or avoiding a task. By identifying the underlying reason for a behavior, practitioners can choose appropriate interventions that address the root cause rather than merely suppressing the behavior. This approach increases the likelihood of successful behavior change and promotes more adaptive behaviors.

Behavior Reduction is an important topic in the Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) exam because one of the core responsibilities of an RBT is to help decrease challenging or harmful behaviors in clients, often individuals with autism or developmental disabilities.
Here’s why it’s emphasized:
- Client Safety: Reducing behaviors like aggression, self-injury, or property destruction protects the client and those around them.
- Skill Development: Problem behaviors can interfere with learning new skills. Behavior reduction makes it easier to teach communication, social, and daily living skills.
- Ethical Practice: RBTs must use ethical and evidence-based methods to reduce behaviors, following a behavior intervention plan (BIP) created by a supervisor (BCBA).
- Professional Competency: The RBT Task List (set by the BACB) explicitly includes “Behavior Reduction” as a major task area. Demonstrating competency in this area is necessary to pass the exam and work in the field.
