RTE 1503 TEST 1 PRACTICE EXAMINATION 2026
QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS GRADED A+
● Measurement. Answer: systematic & objective quantification of objects, events, behaviors
● define target behavior. Answer: 1) observable
● reversible DV. Answer: behaviors revert to baseline
● non- reversible DV. Answer: absence of intervention condition
● examples of reversible DV. Answer: aggrestion, on-task behavior, active student
responding, social interactions
● examples of non-reversible DV. Answer: academic, functional, motor behavior
● what is the most common DV in research?. Answer: direct, systematic observation
recording (DSOR)
● continuous recording. Answer: counting or timing each behavior occurrence (superior)
● non-continuous recording. Answer: sampling behavior occurrence to estimate actual
count or time
● onset. Answer: moment a behavior starts to occur
● offset. Answer: moment a behavior stops
● count. Answer: # of times behavior occurs
● duration. Answer: amount of time for which behavior occurs in total
● latency. Answer: amount of time between a signal or cue and onset of target behavior
● inter-response time. Answer: amount of time that passes between offset of behavior and
onset of next behavior occurrence
● event recording. Answer: denoting how many occur (tally)
● timed event recording. Answer: denoting that event has occurred and noting time of event
(video recording)
