RBT TERMINOLOGY TEST QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
frequency - Answer-number of responses per unit of time
duration - Answer-amount of time in which the behavior occurs
response latency - Answer-elapsed time between onset of stimulus and in initiation of
response
time sampling - Answer-observing and recording behavior during intervals or specific
moments in time
whole-interval recording - Answer-record whether behavior occurred the entire interval;
underestimates and decreases behavior
partial-interval recording - Answer-record whether behavior occurred at any part of the
interval; overestimates & increases behavior
momentary time sampling - Answer-records whether behavior occurred at the moment
that each interval ends
permanent product recording - Answer-measurement takes place after behavior has
occurred
single stimulus preference assessment - Answer-record whether stimuli was
approached or not approached and the duration of time spent with the item
paired stimuli preference assessment - Answer-simultaneous presentation of two
stimuli; shows how many times stimuli are chosen and the rank of stimuli
multiple stimuli preference assessment with replacement - Answer-array of 3 or more
stimuli; item chosen remains in the array and items not chosen are replaced
multiple stimuli preference assessment without replacement - Answer-array of 3 or more
stimuli; item that is chosen is removed, order is changed, and trial begins with reduced
number of items
important components of a program guide - Answer-Sd, target behavior, procedure,
environment, prompts, and mastery criteria
unconditioned reinforcement - Answer-unlearned reinforcement; food, water, oxygen,
warmth
