PEARSON RBT EXAM QUESTIONS
WITH SOLUTIONS 2026
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? - correct-
answer - All of the above
(deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and
implement behavior interventions plans as written as a BCBA)
True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA - correct-answer - False
Rate is... - correct-answer - the total count per a unit of time
Duration is... - correct-answer - the time from when the behavior begins to when
it ends.
Latency is... - correct-answer - the time between the presentation of a stimulus
and the occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method? - correct-answer - All of
the above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
, 2
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120
times over a 2 hour observation - correct-answer - 60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is... - correct-answer - When the behavior must occur at
least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is.... - correct-answer - when the behavior must occur
for the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is.... - correct-answer - when the behavior must be
occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time is... - correct-answer - The time between the end of one
instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior.
which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to
increase? - correct-answer - whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to
decrease? - correct-answer - Partial-interval recording
, 3
true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to under-estimate the
frequency of a target behavior while whole interval recording has the tendency to
over-estimate the frequency of the target behavior? - correct-answer - False
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to
collect data using permanent product recording procedures. - correct-answer -
Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data
recording methods - correct-answer - True
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum - correct-answer - Any
instance of the client crying and hitting himself in the head with a closed fist
which makes a sound that can be heard within five feet. Instance must last longer
than 30 seconds and are separated by 30 seconds of non-occurrence.
Define behavior: - correct-answer - The activity of living organisms; human
behavior includes everything that people do.
define environment: - correct-answer - the conglomerate of real circumstances in
which the organism or references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot
occur in the absence of environment.
