RBT Competency Assessment Practice Questions with Answers Rated A
measurements taken throughout the entire session
examples of C.M:
-frequency data (count behavior)
Continuous Measurement -duration data (time behavior)
-latency data (time between instruction/prompt and re-
sponse)
-interresponse time (IRT) data (time between two behav-
iors)
Continuous measurement data taking take occurs
How is Discontinuous Measurement ditterent from Con-
throughout the session, discontinuous measurement is
tinuous Measurement?
when you take data during a specific part of the session.
Observing and recording behavior that takes place in a
certain time frame
examples of D.M:
-partial interval (the behavior counts so long as it occurs
within the interval)
-whole interval (behavior counts if behavior lasts through-
Discontinuous Measurement (Time Sampling)
out the whole interval)
-momentary time sampling (behavior counts if the behav-
ior occurs at the end of the interval )
these measurements tend to over or underestimate the
rate of the target behavior because of the way it is mea-
sured--- artifact data
What is the most common graph used in ABA? line graph
How often should we graph data? Ideally, after every session.
What goes on the x-axis? Time
What goes on the y-axis? Behavior
Role-play graphing data 1/6
, Trend: increase, decrease, mastery, no trend
Average: sum of occurrences/ # of occurrences

A continuous and ongoing observation that establishes
patient's reinforcers
Aims to identify an individual's favorite things so that they
can be used as rewards or potential "reinforcers" for de-
sired behavior.

1. Caregiver interview
2. Surveys
Preference Assessment 3. Direct Observation
4. Assessment Method
There are four types:
-Single Stimulus (handing items one at a time to see
duration of play)
-Paired Stimulus (two items are presented and the item
not chosen will be replaced to see if preference of the
initial item is continuous)
-Multiple Stimulus w Replacement (several objects are
presented and chosen objects removed and replace with
other items)
