PEARSON RBT FINAL PAPER 2026
SOLVED QUESTIONS GRADED A+
◉True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA. Answer:
False
◉rate. Answer: the total count per a unit of time
◉duration. Answer: the time from when the behavior begins to
when it ends.
◉latency. Answer: the time between the presentation of a stimulus
and the occurrence of a behavior
◉continuous recording method types. Answer: duration,
rate/frequency, and latency
◉calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that
occurred 120 times over a 2 hour observation. Answer: 60 per hour, 1
per minute
◉partial-interval recording. Answer: When the behavior must occur
at least once during the interval to be recorded
, ◉Whole-interval recording. Answer: when the behavior must occur
for the entire interval to be recorded.
◉Momentary time sampling. Answer: when the behavior must be
occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
◉Inter-response time. Answer: 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?. Answer: whole-interval recording
◉Which recording method would you expect to use when a target
behavior is set to decrease?. Answer: 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?. Answer: False
◉Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that
can be used to collect data using permanent product recording
procedures.. Answer: Number of broken windows and folded shirts
, ◉True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease
cumbersome data recording methods. Answer: True
◉operational definition for a tantrum. Answer: 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.
◉behavior. Answer: The activity of living organisms; human behavior
includes everything that people do.
◉environment. Answer: the conglomerate of real circumstances in
which the organism or references part of the organism exists;
behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.
◉4 functions of behavior. Answer: 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 follow through with her demand. This client's out of seat
behavior most likely serves what function?. Answer: Social negative
(escape)
