1. Which data recording method would be best used to D
measure the time between when a cue was delivered
and a learner responded to the cue?
A) Duration
B) Frequency
C) Partial interval
D) Latency
2. Susan's tantrums seemed to last longer with every A
passing day. Which data collection procedure would be
the best to use to determine how long her tantrums
last?
A) Duration
B) Frequency
C) Partial interval
D) Latency
3. Which of the following data collection methods might B
be useful for determining how many times a learner
says, "Oh no!"
A) Duration
B) Frequency
C) Partial interval
D) Latency
4. Jamaal is collecting data on Freddie's on-task behav- D
ior. 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?
A) Duration
B) Frequency
, C) Partial interval
D) Whole interval
5. The "behavioral" dimension of ABA refers to: A
A) Being able to observe and measure behavior
B) Interventions being based on a theory
C) Effectiveness of interventions
D) Being able to produce similar results in different
environments
6. Which of the following is true regarding the role of the C
RBT in the behavior assessment process?
A) RBTs design functional assessments for individuals
B) RBTs share the results of functional assessments
C) RBTs assist in the implementation of functional be-
havior assessments
D) RBTs make conclusions based on functional analysis
procedures
7. What is interobserver agreement (IOA)? C
A) When 2 data collectors agree on the function of a
behavior based on the data collected during the dis-
play of the behavior
B) When 2 data collectors agree on the existence of a
behavior as it is being displayed
C) When 2 data collectors agree on data collected at
the same time during the display of the behavior
D) When 2 data collectors agree on data collection
methods for a behavior during the display of the be-
havior
8. Which of the following is an example of an issue relat- A
ed to boundaries of competence?
, A) An RBT deciding which data to collect to build a
verbal behavior program
B) An RBT collecting data to inform a behavioral inter-
vention program
C) An RBT collecting data along with another RBT to
obtain interobserver agreement
D) An RBT and a BCBA discussing the results of a data
collection session
9. Which activity is appropriate for an RBT to engage in C
when data are being collected for the behavior inter-
vention process?
A) Collecting functional analysis interview data from a
teacher
B) Performing an assessment to diagnose a learner
C) Collecting frequency data during an observation of
the learner
D) Conducting a functional analysis to determine be-
havioral function
10. In ABA, which is the best reason why behaviors are A
targeted for increase?
A) So learners can increase overall skill repertoires
B) So learners won't engage in inappropriate behavior
C) So skill acquisition programs can be implemented
D) So individuals will learn functional skills
11. Behavioral shaping involves: A
A) Reinforcing successive approximations of a larger
behavior
B) Punishing successive approximations of a larger
behavior
