RBT – MEASUREMENT EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS
How do you prepare for data collection? - Answer-Read data from last session and
prepare materials/programs for current session based on it. Decide what programs to
work on during session and gather the materials. Set up them up so they are ready for
the client when you begin the session.
What are continuous measurement procedures? Examples (3)? - Answer-They
measure every possible occurrence of a behavior during an observation. Examples are
frequency, duration, and latency.
What is frequency and how is it measured? - Answer-The number of times the behavior
is performed. Measured by counting number of occurrences per observation.
What is duration and how is it measured? - Answer-The length of the behavior.
Measured by the time of the behavior from beginning to end.
What is latency and how is it measured? - Answer-The time from the presentation of a
SD to the initiation of a behavior. Measured in time.
What is IRT? - Answer-Inter-response time. The time between two successive
responses.
What are discontinuous measurement procedures? Examples (3)? - Answer-They
measure behavior during a sample of time during an observation. Examples are partial
interval recording, whole interval recording, and momentary time sampling.
What is partial interval recording? - Answer-Measures whether behavior occurred at any
point during the interval.
What is whole interval recording? - Answer-Measures whether behavior occurred for the
duration of the entire interval.
What is momentary time sampling? - Answer-Measures whether a behavior occurs in a
specific moment.
How do you implement permanent product recording procedures? - Answer-Record
behavior after it has occurred by measuring tangible items or the effects a behavior has
on the environment.
