RBT Competency Assessment Practice

How would you take frequency data? (Measurement) - Answer- I would count how many times the behavior occurs. (tallies) How do you take duration data? (Measurement) - Answer- I would record how long the behavior lasts. (touched nose for 4 seconds) How would you take latency data? (Measurement) - Answer- The time between me giving the instruction and the behavior starting (it took 5 seconds from instruction to action) How would you take IRT? (Inter-Response Time) (Measurement) - Answer- IRT is the time between two responses (time in between touching my nose was 2 seconds) How is discontinuous measurement different than continuous? (Measurement) - Answer- With discontinuous, we only take data on certain parts of the session. For example, I can take data for 20 minutes. With continuous, I take data on all behaviors. Name the discontinuous measurement procedures. (Measurement) - Answer- Partial interval Whole interval Momentary time sampling Explain partial interval. (Measurement) - Answer- If the behavior occurs AT ALL during the interval. (He snapped his fingers ONCE during the 10 seconds interval.) Explain whole interval. (Measurement) - Answer- If the behavior occurs during the ENTIRE interval. (No, it happened three times, but not the WHOLE interval.) Expl
