The error correction plan describes what the RBT should do in response to an error and defines what constitutes an error in the program. Which option best captures this description?

• A. A plan detailing how to reinforce correct responses.
• B. A description of what the RBT should do to correct errors and what constitutes an error in the program.
• C. A data collection method and scoring rules.
• D. A stakeholder training outline.

Answer: (B)

An error correction plan describes what the RBT should do to correct errors and defines what constitutes an error in the program. It lays out exact steps for responding when an error occurs—how to prompt, model the correct response, guide the learner through a corrected trial, and how to prompt or fade strategies—all to keep responses consistent. It also specifies the criteria for what counts as an error (for example, an incorrect response, an omission, or a response outside the allowed time), so everyone measures and responds in the same way. This focus on both the corrective actions and the error definitions makes it distinct from plans that only cover reinforcing correct responses, data collection and scoring methods, or stakeholder training, which address different aspects of instruction.
