RBT Exam Correct Questions & Answers
(RATED A)
more then one person agree on a behavior - ANSWER reliability
(clients behavior changes because they are aware of you watching them) - ANSWER
reactivity
Before an RBT can take data on a student's behavior they must ensure the BCBA has: -
ANSWER obtained informed consent from the consumer
Which of the following is a method to counteract reactivity? - ANSWER Have
observations throughout the day, Set up several visits prior to collecting data, Be as
unobtrusive as possible
What is one way an RBT should prepare for data collection? - ANSWER Discuss the
purpose and goals of the data collection
When data collection accurately portrays the change in a person's behavior, this is
referred to as: - ANSWER validity
Which of the following should an RBT to do prior to taking data collection? - ANSWER
Review the type of data collection that is being taken, Ensure they understand the exact
requirements of the data collection, Get instructions from their supervisor
It is important that data collection is: - ANSWER Accurate and not intrusive
Which of the following is a method to counteract reactivity? - ANSWER Using hidden
recording equipment
Reactivity can be defined as another person changing their behavior based upon: -
ANSWER your presence
Which of the following is a method to counteract reactivity? - ANSWER use hidden
recording equipment
When a supervisor collects the same data that you are in an effort to check the
accuracy of the data collection, the supervisor is collecting which type of data? -
ANSWER interobserver reliability
When a supervisor collects data on your implementation of a procedure, this is known
as which type of data? - ANSWER treatment fidelity
, When an RBT observes their client and records every instance of their behavior they
are using: - ANSWER continuous measurement
Which of the following is considered continuous measurement? - ANSWER frequency,
latency, duration, intensity, trial by trial
When recording if a behavior occurred at any time within an interval which
measurement system are you using? - ANSWER partial interval
How are data collected using a partial interval measurement system commonly
reported? - ANSWER percentage
Which of the following is a possible advantage of partial interval recording? - ANSWER
Provides an estimate of behavior, Provides information about when behavior is
occurring, Easy to implement as compared to continuous measurement
When might it be best to use partial interval recording? - ANSWER Difficult to know
when behavior begins, When behavior occurs at a high frequency, Difficult to know
when behavior ends
Which is a possible advantage of whole interval recording? - ANSWER Provides an
estimate of behavior, Provides information about when behavior is occurring
When might it be best to use whole interval recording? - ANSWER Difficult to know
when behavior begins, Difficult to know when behavior ends, When behavior occurs at a
high rate
When you observe a student and record if they engaged in a behavior for the entire time
interval which measurement system are you using? - ANSWER whole interval
measurement
Whole interval recording may: - ANSWER Underestimate behavior
When you record if a behavior occurs at a given moment within an interval, you are
using: - ANSWER Momentary Time Sampling
What is a possible advantage of using momentary time sampling? - ANSWER No need
to observe the entire interval
Momentary time sampling commonly: - ANSWER Overestimates and underestimates
behaviors
An indirect measurement system in which you evaluate behavior based upon a tangible
product is known as: - ANSWER permanent product
