RBT Exam 2026
Frequency, duration, latency and inter-response time are examples of which type of
measurement?—ANSWER--Continuous
Momentary time sampling, whole interval and partial interval are examples of which type of
measurement?—ANSWER--Discontinuous
frequency—ANSWER--how many times the behavior happens (count)
duration—ANSWER--how long the behavior lasts
latency—ANSWER--time it takes to respond
rate (count)—ANSWER--frequency per unit of time (behavior happened this many times in
this amount of seconds/minutes/hours/days)
IRT (inter-response time)—ANSWER--time between responses
partial interval—ANSWER--the behavior occurs at any point (PART) in the interval
whole interval—ANSWER--Behavior occurs during the entire interval
momentary time sampling—ANSWER--behavior occurs at end of interval (at the MOMENT
the timer rings)
What is the purpose of a preference assessment?—ANSWER--to find what the learner finds
reinforcing
, what are the functions of behavior?—ANSWER--escape/avoid, gain/maintain access to
tangibles, gain/maintain access to attention, automatic
What are the 3 types of functional behavior assessments?—ANSWER--1. indirect
2. descriptive
3. functional analysis
Describe discrete trials teaching.—ANSWER--1. SD, response, reinforcement
2. teaching is led by RBT/teacher
3. reinforcement not always related to skill being taught
What are 3 types of chaining procedures?—ANSWER--1. forward
2. backward
3. total task
shaping—ANSWER--reinforcing successive approximations to the targeted behavior
discrimination training—ANSWER--differentiating between multiple stimuli
generalization training—ANSWER--generalize stimuli as the same even though they may have
different qualities (SD's, materials, environments, people)
stimulus control transfer procedure—ANSWER--transferring control from one stimulus to
another to evoke the same response
Most-to-least prompting—ANSWER--Using full physical prompting and fading prompts until
my client can follow a positional prompt
