RBT EXAM SCENARIOS QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
You are asked to collect data on aggression. Every time your learner agresses, you
click the tally counter. What are you measuring? - Answer-Frequency

path is also always above the control condition. What is the function of the problem
behavior? - Answer-Escape and Access
You are recording the time it takes from the presentation of the demand to the first
instance of problem behavior. What are you measuring? - Answer-Latency
You are collecting partial interval data. You have a pen and data sheet. What else might
you need to collect data accurately? - Answer-Watch/Timer
