True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA
False
Rate is...
the total count per a unit of time
Duration is...
the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends.
Latency is...
the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the
occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method?
All of the above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior
that occurred 120 times over a 2 hour observation
60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is...
When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to
be recorded
Whole-interval recording is....
,when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be
recorded.
Momentary time sampling is....
when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to
be recorded.
Inter-response time is...
The time between the end of one instance of the behavior and the
beginning of the next occurrence of behavior.
which recording method would you expect to use when a
target behavior is set to increase?
whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a
target behavior is set to decrease?
Partial-interval recording
true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to
under-estimate the frequency of a target behavior while
whole interval recording has the tendency to over-estimate
the frequency of the target behavior?
False
Which of the following are examples of "permanent
products" that can be used to collect data using permanent
product recording procedures.
Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease
cumbersome data recording methods
True
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum
Any instance of the client crying and hitting himself in the head
with a closed fist which makes a sound that can be heard within
five feet. Instance must last longer than 30 seconds and are
separated by 30 seconds of non-occurrence.
Define behavior:
, The activity of living organisms; human behavior includes
everything that people do.
define environment:
the conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or
references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot occur in
the absence of environment.
List the four functions of behavior:
Social positive (attention/access), Social negative (escaping),
Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative
(pain attenuation)
A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed.
When he gets out of his seat his teacher says, "Oh you need
a break", and does not follow through with her demand. This
client's out of seat behavior most likely serves what
function?
Social negative (escape)
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work
times, when he is on a break, when he is playing with his
favorite toys, during meal times, when you or someone else
is directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself.
One day mom brings the client back from the dentist where
he had to get 6 cavities filled. After this dentist appointment
the spitting stopped. What function does spitting most likely
serve?
Automatic negative (pain attenuation)
Every time his mother removes items from him, a client
engages in a tantrum. Mom tries to ignore him but after
around five minutes mom gives him back the item she
removed and the tantrum immediately stops. What function
is most likely maintaining the tantrums?
Social Positive (attention/access)
