RBT Behavior Reduction Quizzes | 16% of Exam

Welcome to our Behavior Reduction practice quizzes for the RBT certification exam. The Behavior Reduction content area comprises 16% of the total exam (approximately 12 questions) and focuses on the crucial intervention strategies used to decrease challenging behaviors and promote appropriate alternatives.

As an RBT, you’ll be expected to implement various behavior reduction procedures accurately, identify functions of behavior, and apply function-based interventions correctly. These skills are essential for helping clients reduce problem behaviors and develop more adaptive responses.

Welcome to your Behavior Reduction

When implementing differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior (DRI), the RBT reinforces:

An RBT is implementing extinction for attention-maintained behavior. The RBT should:

When implementing noncontingent reinforcement (NCR), the RBT provides reinforcement:

Which of the following is a potential side effect of using punishment procedures?

Differential reinforcement of other behavior (DRO) involves:

An RBT is implementing a behavior reduction procedure and notices that the client's behavior initially increases. This phenomenon is known as:

When implementing a response cost procedure, the RBT:

Which of the following is an example of an antecedent intervention to reduce problem behavior?

An RBT is implementing a behavior intervention plan that includes redirection to appropriate activities. When the client begins to engage in the target behavior, the RBT should:

When implementing extinction, which of the following is an expected outcome during the initial stages?

A function-based intervention for escape-maintained behavior would most appropriately include:

When implementing differential reinforcement of alternative behavior (DRA), the RBT reinforces:

Which of the following is NOT typically a component of a crisis management procedure?

When implementing a behavior reduction procedure, what should the RBT do if the procedure appears to be causing distress to the client?

Which of the following is an effective antecedent intervention for escape-maintained behavior?

Why the Behavior Reduction Section Is Critical for RBT Success?

The Behavior Reduction section tests your ability to:

  1. Implement antecedent interventions to prevent problem behavior
  2. Apply differential reinforcement procedures effectively
  3. Implement extinction protocols safely and correctly
  4. Follow crisis procedures when necessary
  5. Use function-based interventions appropriate to maintaining variables

Mastering these skills is essential because:

  • Behavior reduction procedures require precise implementation to be effective and ethical
  • Approximately 12 questions on your exam will test these behavior reduction concepts
  • Implementing these procedures incorrectly can increase problem behavior or create harm
  • Function-based interventions form the foundation of effective behavior change

“Understanding behavior reduction was the most challenging part of my RBT training, but it was also the most rewarding. Once I grasped how different procedures aligned with different behavioral functions, everything clicked into place.” – Jessica M., Certified RBT
