ABA Rocks: A Behavior Analysis Blog

S.A.F.M.E.D.S.

Below are vocabulary building exercises - flashcards - aligned with the RBT, BCaBA, and BCBA task list. Try to practice them until you can run a deck completely and effortlessly - and then move on to the next deck! When you finish that, make sure to try the timed fluency versions of each deck. Good luck, and happy studying! Check back regularly as I try to add a new set of quiz questions every Sunday!

Let's practice schedules of reinforcement - read a description, then pick the schedule of reinforcement that corresponds to the task. The goal is to fluently label schedules of reinforcement.

There are sets of 10 - fluency will aim to have 10 complete in 6 seconds (total of 60s each).

Practice schedules of reinforcement.
