RBT Exam 2025 with 100% Correct
Solutions
Role of an RBT - ANSWER-- deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
- record data
- implement behavior intervention by BCBA
Can an RBT practice independently of BCBA? - ANSWER-No, a RBT cannot practice
independently of a BCBA
Rate - ANSWER-total count per unit of time
Duration - ANSWER-time from when the behavior begins and ends
Latency - ANSWER-the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence
of a behavior
Continuous Recording Method - ANSWER-latency, duration, rate
Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER-behavior must occur for the entire interval to be
recorded
Looking for behavior increase using which kind of recording? - ANSWER-whole interval
recording
Partial Interval Recording - ANSWER-when a behavior must occur at least once during
an interval to be recorded
Looking for behavior decrease using which kind of recording? - ANSWER-partial
interval recording
Inter-response time recording - ANSWER-time between the end of one instance of the
behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior
Momentary Time Sampling - ANSWER-records whether the target behavior is occurring
at the moment that each time interval ends
Reinforcer - ANSWER-any stimulus or event that functions to increase the likelihood of
the behavior that led to it
, What kind of reinforcement?
Putting on your seatbelt in the car to stop the seatbelt warning noise in your car OR
when a client cries when he sees math homework so the homework is removed and the
crying stops, but in the future the crying continues when the client sees homework. -
ANSWER-Negative reinforcement
Trend - ANSWER-range
level - ANSWER-draw line through closets points
Variability - ANSWER-look for stable patterns
Most common graph used is BACB - ANSWER-Line graph
Continuos Measurement - ANSWER-frequency, rate, duration, latency, IRT
Discontinuous measurements - ANSWER-momentary time sample, whole interval,
partial interval
Permanent Product - ANSWER-anything you can see after the behavior occurred
* only good if product is caused by behavior you're measuring
Discrete trials training (DTT) - ANSWER-- breaks down skills into smaller or discrete
steps
- usually used to teach early skills
- it's one opportunity, by itself, to produce response
Free operant arrangement - ANSWER-unlimited responses and reinforcements
-opposite of DTT
ex: doing 100 math problems and receiving variable reinforcement
Techniques for DTT - ANSWER-- Mass Trial
- Distractor trial
-Mixed Trials
Mass Trials - ANSWER-Repeatedly presenting the same SD (discriminative stimulus)
and R (response) pair for several trials in a row.
- good for new learners or those who need extra help
Distractor Trial - ANSWER-asking the same target each trial, but including two
'unknown" choices as answer options.
*For example, having a dog card and two cards with objects that are unknown to the
learner and saying "touch dog."
Mixed trials - ANSWER-switching the SD or interaction every single time
