RBT QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Which type of data collection is the most accurate, yet also the most time consuming? -
Answer-Frequency (Counting)
When we record the time between responses, we are measuring: - Answer-IRT: Inter-
response Time (IRT) is the time between responses.
Reid has been directed to take latency data on how soon his client responds to a peer
when the peer asked a question. What will the data collection procedure look like? -
Answer-Reid begins his stopwatch right after his client's peer finishes asking a question.
He stops his stopwatch once his client begins to respond to the question asked.
This is the correct way to collect latency data.
A seamstress works in a factory making children's garments. She is given her pay
based on the number of items of clothing she has produced by the end of the day. What
form of data collection does her boss use? - Answer-Permanent Product
A student is given a worksheet with 100 math problems. He begins working on the first
problem 10 seconds after he is given the worksheet. This is an example of: - Answer-
Latency
Latency is the time from the SD/instruction to the start of the behavior.
Which of the following is an example of an operational definition of behavior? - Answer-
Using a hand with a closed fist to make forceful contact with another person's body.
You can really visualize what this behavior looks like even if you never saw it before.
An RBT is tasked by her BCBA to collect data on two new behaviors her client is
exhibiting. What should she do first? - Answer-Open the logbook, read the operational
definition and method listed for gathering data on each behavior.
Continuous data recording involves: - Answer-Recording all instances of a behavior.
Continuous data recording involves recording all instances of a behavior
Duration and latency recording both involve: - Answer-time
Which is an example of Duration data? - Answer-It took Jenny 3 hours to clean her
room.
Why is it important conduct preference assessments? - Answer-To help you develop a
repertoire of stimuli that you may be able to deliver as reinforcing consequences to your
client during therapy sessions.
, An RBT is tasked with assisting his BCBA during an individualized assessment. What
should he do first to prepare? - Answer-Review the guidelines for the assessment with
his BCBA, asking any questions he may have
The first thing to do is make sure you understand completely the perimeters of the
assessment and what is expected of you.
ABC (antecedent--> behavior --> consequence) data recording is considered what
method of data collection? - Answer-Anecdotal
ABC records are written narratives that give us more information about what happens
before, during and after a behavior.
You are asked to take ABC narrative data by your BCBA. What is the primary reason
you would collect this form of data? - Answer-To figure out why a behavior is happening
(the function) and what is causing the behavior to continue (reinforcing consequence).
What type of preference assessment is described below:
1. Stimuli is presented in pairs
2. Ask client to choose an item from the two in front of them
3. Record which of the two items presented was selected by your client
4. Continue until each item is paired once with every other item
5. Report which item/items were selected most often - Answer-Paired-Stimulus
This is an example of a Paired-Stimulus (forced choice) preference assessment.
What type of preference assessment is described below:
1. Present all items simultaneously in an array (group)
2. Trial: Say, "Choose one," or similar to client
3. Record which item was selected after each trial
4. Selected items are NOT returned to the array for the next trial
5. Report data as a ranking/hierarchy - Answer-Multiple-Stimulus Without Replacement
(MSWO)
In Multiple-Stimulus Without Replacement (MSWO) Preference Assessments, Selected
items are NOT returned to the array for the next trial.
Continuous reinforcement is equivalent to which of the following? - Answer-Fixed Ratio
of 1 (FR1)
Receiving reinforcement after the set number of one response, is the same thing as
doing continuous reinforcement which involves reinforcing for every correct response.
Greg is working on the skill of making chocolate milk with his client. Greg begins by
prompting all the initial steps for his client, and has her do the very last step of 'stirring
the milk and chocolate with a spoon' by herself. Greg is using which task analysis
procedure to teach making chocolate milk? - Answer-Backwards Chaining
Greg is using the backwards chaining task analysis procedure by teaching the last step
in making chocolate milk, first.
