ANSWERS
◉ True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA
Answer: False
◉ Rate is... Answer: the total count per a unit of time
◉ Duration is... Answer: the time from when the behavior begins to
when it ends.
◉ Latency is... Answer: the time between the presentation of a
stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
◉ Which of the following is a continuous recording method?
Answer: 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 Answer: 60 per hour,
1 per minute
,◉ partial-interval recording is... Answer: When the behavior must
occur at least once during the interval to be recorded
◉ Whole-interval recording is.... Answer: when the behavior must
occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
◉ Momentary time sampling is.... Answer: when the behavior must
be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
◉ Inter-response time is... Answer: 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? Answer: whole-interval recording
◉ Which recording method would you expect to use when a target
behavior is set to decrease? Answer: 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? Answer: False
, ◉ Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that
can be used to collect data using permanent product recording
procedures. Answer: Number of broken windows and folded shirts
◉ True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease
cumbersome data recording methods Answer: True
◉ Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum Answer: 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: Answer: The activity of living organisms; human
behavior includes everything that people do.
◉ define environment: Answer: 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: Answer: Social positive
(attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive
(sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)
