Pearson RBT Exam with 100% Correct
Answers
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? - correct
Answer-All of the above
(deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and implement
behavior interventions plans as written as a BCBA)
True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA - correct Answer-False
Rate is... - correct Answer-the total count per a unit of time
Duration is... - correct Answer-the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends.
Latency is... - correct Answer-the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the
occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method? - correct Answer-All of the
above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times
over a 2 hour observation - correct Answer-60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is... - correct Answer-When the behavior must occur at least
once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is.... - correct Answer-when the behavior must occur for the
entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is.... - correct Answer-when the behavior must be occurring at
the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time is... - correct 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? - correct Answer-whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to
decrease? - correct 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? - correct Answer-False
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to collect
data using permanent product recording procedures. - correct Answer-Number of
broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data
recording methods - correct Answer-True
Define Extinction: - correct Answer-Discontinuation of a reinforcement of a previously
reinforced behavior; the primary effect is a decrease in the frequency of behavior until it
reaches a pre-reinforced level or ultimately ceases to occur.
True/False: Extinction is most effective when used as a stand-alone procedure? -
correct Answer-False.
You are working with a client who engages in verbal aggression. The BCBA on the case
has determined that the verbal aggression is maintain by escape from demands. The
BCBA asks you to use extinction as a part of the intervention plan. Briefly describe what
this procedure would look like. - correct Answer-Not allowing the client to escape from
demands when he/she engages in verbal aggression and providing no reaction or
response to the verbal aggression.
You are working with a client who engages in tantrums that are maintained by access to
tangibles. The BCBA instructs you to implement extinction. Briefly describe what this
procedure would look like for this case. - correct Answer-Not providing tangibles when
the client engages in tantrum behaviors and providing no reaction or response to the
tantrum behavior.
True/False: There are times as an RBT you will have to implement emergency/crisis
strategies. - correct Answer-True
Which of the following is an example of an emergency/crisis management strategy. -
correct Answer-All of the above
(Relocate people, Remove unnecessary demands, and rearrange the environment)
You are unsure that an emergency/crisis management procedure is appropriate for a
particular behavior. Who should you consult with? - correct Answer-BCBA
What constitute an emergency? - correct Answer-All of the above
(Self-injury, injury to others, destruction of property)
