RBT ACTUAL EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
COMPLETE GUIDE SOLUTION|A+ GRADED
1) RBTs using continuous measurement procedures might use .
A. ABC recording
B. Momentary Time Sampling
C. Partial Interval recording
D. Whole Interval Recording
2) Janelle, a BCBA, asks her client to go to the store and buy one loaf of bread, a stick of butter, and a
quart of milk. When he returns she checks his shopping bag to make sure he purchased every item
on the list. Janelle is using .
A. Momentary Time Sampling
B. ABC recording
C. Permanent Product recording
D. Whole Interval recording
3) The following is an example of a cumulative graph. Characteristics of a cumulative graph include:
A. data is recorded only once per day; downward slopes indicate decreasing behavior
B. data never decreases; flat lines indicate periods of no performance of the target behavior; steeper
slope means more incidence of the target behavior
C. unstable data patterns; can have both increasing or decreasing trends
D. decreasing data, flat lines indicate periods of no performance of the target behavior; steeper slope
means a greater decrease of the target behavior
4) All of the following are ways to collect data EXCEPT .
A. computer program
B. tally marks
C. graphs
D. Xs and Os for occurrence and nonoccurrence of behavior

5) Continuous measurement procedures include: frequency (how many times a behavior occurs), rate (how
many times a behavior occurs per period of time i.e. tantrums per hour), and .
A. Whole Interval recording (recording when the behavior occurs throughout an entire interval)
, RBT ACTUAL EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
COMPLETE GUIDE SOLUTION|A+ GRADED
B. MST (Momentary Time Sampling, behavior occurring at the end of an interval)
C. permanent product (recording of durable products of a behavior after the behavior occurs)
D. duration (how long a behavior lasts)
6) Sarah, an RBT, is tracking to see how long it takes from when she says, "Put your shoes on," to when
her developmentally disabled adult client actually begins the process of putting on his shoes. Sarah is
tracking .
A. Inter-Response Time (IRT)
B. Latency
C. Duration
D. Frequency
7) In order for RBTs to track data, they must have an operational definition of the behavior they are
observing and knowledge of the dimension of the behavior they are recording (rate, frequency, latency,
IRT, duration etc.). An operational definition should be all of the following EXCEPT .
A. clear and complete (gives examples and non-examples of what the behavior looks like)
B. a board-approved behavioral definition
C. objective
D. concise
8) Your supervising BCBA asks you to take data on a preschooler's hair-twirling behavior. She
operationally defines the behavior for you, and asks you to use partial interval recording with 30-
second intervals. You mark the behavior as having occurred if .
A. the child twirls hair for any part of the 30 seconds
B. the child twirls hair the entire 30 seconds
C. the child is twirling hair at the end of a 30 second interval
D. there is 30 seconds between one instance of hair twirling and the next
9) A written skills acquisition plan should include all of the following, and .
A definition of the skill to be acquired
A baseline measurement of the skill or the behavior it is replacing
A clear goal that indicates skill acquisition
A detailed description of the procedures that will be used to implement the plan
Reactive strategies to employ when undesired behavior occurs or the skill is not immediately acquired
Data collection and display methods that are to be used
Frequent review of data and circumstances in order to make minor adjustments to the plan
A. An FBA
B. A plan for maintenance and termination of service
C. A plan for decreasing a target behavior
D. A plan for incorporating group work
