BEHAVIOR TECHNICIAN PRACTICE
EXAM 2025 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Which data recording method would be best used to measure the time between when a cue
was delivered and a learner responded to the cue? - ANS Latency
Susan's tantrums seemed to last longer with every passing day. Which data collection
procedure would be the best to use to determine how long her tantrums last? -
ANS Duration
Which of the following data collection methods might be useful for determining how many
times a learner says, "Oh no!" - ANS Frequency
Jamaal is collecting data on Freddie's on-task behavior. He looks to see if Freddie is on-task for
an entire 10-second interval. If he is, he marks yes. If Freddie looks around during the 10
seconds, he marks no. What type of data recording is Jamaal using? - ANS Whole interval
The "behavioral" dimension of ABA refers to: - ANS Being able to observe and measure
behavior
Which of the following is true regarding the role of the RBT in the behavior assessment
process? - ANS RBTs assist in the implementation of functional behavior assessments
What is interobserver agreement (IOA)? - ANS When 2 data collectors agree on data
collected at the same time during the display of the behavior

, Which of the following is an example of an issue related to boundaries of competence? -
ANS An RBT deciding which data to collect to build a verbal behavior program
Which activity is appropriate for an RBT to engage in when data are being collected for the
behavior intervention process? - ANS Collecting frequency data during an observation of the
learner
In ABA, which is the best reason why behaviors are targeted for increase? - ANS So learners
can increase overall skill repertoires
Behavioral shaping involves: - ANS Reinforcing successive approximations of a larger
behavior
In discrete trial instruction, a short instruction delivered to a learner is called: - ANS A
discriminative stimulus (SD)
Prompting before a learner can select an incorrect response is called: - ANS Errorless
learning
Which part of a discrete trial makes it more likely the learner will respond again? - ANS The
reinforcer
Teaching targets on the written skill acquisition plan: - ANS Tell the behavior technician what
to present
