A. computer program
B. tally marks
C. graphs
D. Xs and Os for occurrence and nonoccurrence of behavior - Answer-C
Continuous measurement procedures include: frequency (how many times a behavior
occurs), rate (how many times a behavior occurs per period of time i.e. tantrums per
hour), and_________.
A. Whole Interval recording (recording when the behavior occurs throughout an entire
interval)
B. MST (Momentary Time Sampling, behavior occurring at the end of an interval)
C. permanent product (recording of durable products of a behavior after the behavior
occurs)
D. duration (how long a behavior lasts) - Answer-D
Sarah, an RBT, is tracking to see how long it takes from when she says, "Put your
shoes on," to when her developmentally disabled adult client actually begins the
process of putting on his shoes. Sarah is tracking__________.
A. Inter-Response Time (IRT)
B. Latency
C. Duration
D. Frequency - Answer-B
In order for RBTs to track data, they must have an operational definition of the behavior
they are observing and knowledge of the dimension of the behavior they are recording
, (rate, frequency, latency, IRT, duration etc.). An operational definition should be all of
the following EXCEPT__________.
A. clear and complete (gives examples and non-examples of what the behavior looks
like)
B. a board-approved behavioral definition
C. objective
D. concise - Answer-B
Your supervising BCBA asks you to take data on a preschooler's hair-twirling behavior.
She operationally defines the behavior for you, and asks you to use partial interval
recording with 30-second intervals. You mark the behavior as having occurred
if__________.
A. the child twirls hair for any part of the 30 seconds
B. the child twirls hair the entire 30 seconds
C. the child is twirling hair at the end of a 30 second interval
D. there is 30 seconds between one instance of hair twirling and the next - Answer-A
A written skills acquisition plan should include all of the following EXCEPT
____________
A. A definition of the skill to be acquired
B. A clear goal that indicates skill acquisition
C. A detailed description of the procedures that will be used to implement the plan
D. An FBA (Functional Behavioral Assessment) - Answer-D
A high-quality behavioral definition describes the behavior and environment in
observable and measurable terms. Which is the BEST behavioral definition?
A. Student will grasp hair and twist hair around fingers.
B. Ellie twirls her hair in the evening and in the morning.
C. Hair twirling will cause noticeable hair loss and damage to the scalp
D. Entangling fingers of the right hand in one's own hair by twisting and then pulling the
hand away from the scalp (topographical) when given verbal instruction to begin
academic tasks (antecedent-based), which has sometimes been reinforced by escape
from these tasks (functional). - Answer-D
Ways to identify a client's preferences (and potential reinforcers) include all of the
following EXCEPT________.
A. asking the client
B. interviewing others about what the client likes
C. noting the amount of time a client engages with a tangible compared to other
tangibles
D. consulting the BCBA's Preference Reinforcer Master List - Answer-D
