PEARSON RBT / LATEST VERSION
ACTUAL EXAM AND STUDY GUIDE /
PRACTICE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? -
ANS>> 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 - ANS>> False
Rate is... - ANS>> the total count per a unit of time
Duration is... - ANS>> the time from when the behavior begins to when it
ends.
Latency is... - ANS>> the time between the presentation of a stimulus and
the occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method? - ANS>> 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 - ANS>> 60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is... - ANS>> When the behavior must occur at
least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is.... - ANS>> when the behavior must occur for
the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is.... - ANS>> when the behavior must be
occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
, Inter-response time is... - ANS>> 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? - ANS>> whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is
set to decrease? - ANS>> 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? - ANS>>
False
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be
used to collect data using permanent product recording procedures. -
ANS>> Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome
data recording methods - ANS>> True
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum - ANS>> 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: - ANS>> The activity of living organisms; human behavior
includes everything that people do.
define environment: - ANS>> 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: - ANS>> 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
