RBT – Measurement Practice Test. Direct measurement - CORRECT ANSWER Measurement which consists of observing the behavior and recording it as it occurs. Frequency, duration and intensity recording, latency, partial / whole interval , momentary time sample. Indirect measurement - CORRECT ANSWER Measurement used to obtain information about a behavior through interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys, etc. Outcome recording/product recording- Operational definition - CORRECT ANSWER Is devised to describe what the target behavior looks like in order to provide objectivity and observations and measurements.
