RBT EXAM

Question 1

Latency

Answer 1

is the amount of time between one event and another event

Question 2

Continuous Measurement

Answer 2

is a data collection system where some dimension (or dimensions) of a behavior is recorded each time the behavior occurs, such as frequency, rate, etc.

Question 3

Momentary Time Sampling

Answer 3

Data collection where you record yes / no ONLY if the behavior happens at a specific moment

Question 4

Frequency

Answer 4

is the measurement of the total count of a behavior. Frequency is sometimes (but not always) used a synonym for Rate by some behavior analysts.

Question 5

Partial Interval Recording

Answer 5

You score the interval if the behavior happens for any part of the interval

Question 6

Discontinuous Measurement

Answer 6

This is a sampling method, collecting data at intervals to record an approximation of a behavior; examples include partial or whole interval recording.

Question 7

Inter Response Time (IRT)

Answer 7

is the time from the offset of one response and the onset of the next response.

Question 8

Permanent Product

Answer 8

Count of a behavior per unit time

Question 9

Whole Interval Recording

Answer 9

Data collection where you record yes / no IF AND ONLY IF the behavior occurs for the entire interval

Question 10

Duration

Answer 10

Total amount of time (i.e., temporal extent)

Question 11

Rate

Answer 11

Count of a behavior per unit time

Question 12

Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO) Preference Assessment

Answer 12

Preference assessment where selections are removed once selected after each trial; assessment ends after all items have been selected once or the participant refuses to select on 2 consecutive trials; generates a “ranked list” of preferred stimuli

Question 13

Multiple Stimulus (MS) Preference Assessment

Answer 13

a type of preference assessment where stimuli are available on each trial - generates a list that reflects an individuals most-preferred stimuli, when all options are available

Question 14

Social Skills assessment

Answer 14

Focuses on the development of skills required to participate in the community, make friends, and interact with others

Question 15

Functional Analysis

Answer 15

demonstrates causality - that is to say, A causes B

Question 16

Free Operant (FO) Preference Assessment

Answer 16

a type of preference assessment where the client freely engages with items in a set area, and duration of engagement is measured to judge relative preference

Question 17

Reinforcer Assessment

Answer 17

identifies reinforcers, and sometimes determines a “break-point” where the response effort overcomes the value of the consequence

Question 18

Preference Assessment

Answer 18

Identifies preferred stimuli, and sometimes ranks them hierarchically

Question 19

Curriculum based assessment

Answer 19

Curriculum based assessment

Question 20

Functional Analysis

Answer 20

a type of assessment that identifies the type of reinforcement maintaining a behavior

Question 21

Extinction

Answer 21

Previously reinforced consequence no longer receives reinforcement

Question 22

Developmental assessment

Answer 22

Arranges skills in the order in which they are typically learned, sometimes using statistical analyses or “phases of development”
