RBT Mock Exam Questions and Answers

RBT Mock Exam Questions and Answers Cumulative records - Answer ️️ -Data never decreases in a cumulative record; an increasing slope indicates occurrence of the target behavior, while a flat slope indicates periods of no occurrences of the target behavior Momentary time sampling as a data collection method - Answer ️️ -Every 3 minutes, Sally counts the number of students playing together vs. the number of students playing by themselves. At the end of a 30 minute observation period, Sally counts the percent of social engagement for all students by averaging the score on each interval. Discontinuos data collection - Answer ️️ -Data that is taken of some sample of the behavior, not each and every instance of the behavior of interest. Continuous data collection - Answer ️️ -Data that is taken on each and every instance of behavior. Types of Discontinuous Data Collection - Answer ️️ -Momentary Time Sampling - . Partial Interval Recording Whole Interval Recording Whole Interval Recording - Answer ️️ -Whole Interval Recording - recording data (YES or NO) if the behavior occurs for the ENTIRETY of an observation interval. For example, if the behavior occurs for 59 seconds out of a 60 second observation interval, you would not score that interval! That seems pretty arbitrary, but it has it's benefits - imagine a scenario where you are attempting to take data on many learners who are supposed to be working on independent work. These same learners must raise their hand if they'd like to get up from their table work. You could easily task a single teacher with taking WIR data on 5 or even 10 kids, and if you're interested in seeing an increase in their in-seat, on-task behavior, this would be a conservative measure of those behaviors -- a graph with a score of 100% would truly represent mastery, as even a single second of out-of-seat behavior would cost them an entire interval's score! Partial Interval Recording - Answer ️️ -recording data (YES or NO) if the behavior occurs for any part of a given interval. For example, if the behavior occurs for 1 second or for the entire interval, you would still score it as a single "yes" for that interval. As a result, this type of recording tends to over-estimate behavior, which may be a good thing, depending on what you're trying to measure. For example, if you're teaching someone not to bite their teachers, even 1
