Pearson RBT Exam with answers
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? -
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS
✔✔False
Rate is... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the total count per a unit of time
Duration is... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the time from when the behavior begins to
when it ends.
Latency is... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the time between the presentation of a
stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method? - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔All of the above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times
over a 2 hour observation - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔60 per hour, 1 per minute
,partial-interval recording is... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔When the behavior must
occur at least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is.... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔when the behavior must
occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is.... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔when the behavior must
be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time is... - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to
decrease? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Partial-interval recording
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 ANSWERS ✔✔False
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to
collect data using permanent product recording procedures. - CORRECT ANSWERS
✔✔Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data
recording methods - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔True
, Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔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 ANSWERS ✔✔The activity of living organisms;
human behavior includes everything that people do.
define environment: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔the conglomerate of real
circumstances in which the organism or references part of the organism exists;
behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.
List the four functions of behavior: - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Social positive
(attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory
stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)
A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. When he gets out of his
seat his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through with her
demand. This client's out of seat behavior most likely serves what function? -
CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Social negative (escape)
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a
break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when you or
someone else is directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself. One day
mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled.
After this dentist appointment the spitting stopped. What function does spitting most
likely serve? - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Automatic negative (pain attenuation)
