RBT Competency Assessment (Latest
Update ) Questions with
Correct Answers {Grade A}100% Verified
Indirect Measurement - correct answer interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys
Direct Measurement - correct answer observation of the behavior and recording it as
it occurs
Behavioral Definitions - correct answer operational, includes verbs describing
behavior, objective + unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does
not use labels (bad or good)
Operational - correct answer describes what the behavior looks like so two
independent observers can recognize + record the same behavior
Indirect Outcome Recording - correct answer measures results that produces an
observable product in the environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use
,Direct Outcome Recording - correct answer instead of relying on memory data is
gathered immediately as the behavior occurs or as it produces results
Event Recording - correct answer behavior is observed continuously throughout the
observation period, and each instance of the behavior is recorded immediately as it
occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the behavior look the same every time? Does the
behavior have a clear beginning and end?
Frequency Recording - correct answer used for behaviors that have a clear beginning
and end, tally the number of times the behavior occurs
Intensity - correct answer magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the
aspect of the behavior you are trying to change)
Duration - correct answer how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are
trying to decrease how long a behavior lasts
, Latency - correct answer time that occurs between the SD and the response (ex. how
long to respond to a peer's question). You record this when the goal is to decrease the
time between SD and response
Partial Interval Recording - correct answer involves checking off an interval if the
behavior occurs at ANY point within the interval - even if it only occured for 1 second.
You can use this for self-stimulatory behaviors or behaviors that don't look the same
every time. An overexaggeration of the behavior, you use this method to decrease
behavior.
Whole Interval Recording - correct answer involves checking off the interval if the
behavior occurs throughout the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell when
the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs at such a high rate it is difficult to keep
count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this method to increase behavior.
Momentary Time Sampling Recording - correct answer data is less representative
than intervals, looking for a behavior's occurrence during a specific part of the interval
and recording if it is occurring at that precise moment. Ex: setting a timer to go off
