●● 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:
