RBT exam prep
Frequency Answer - Count of each instance
Duration Answer - Time spent engaged in single instance of target behavior
Latency Answer - Time from onset of stimulus to onset of response
discontinuous measurement procedures Answer - Recording a sample of instances of the target behavior
according to predetermined schedule (e.g., momentary time sampling, partial interval, etc.)
Partial interval recording Answer - Recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in time in a
predetermined interval
permanent product recording procedures Answer - Recording performance of a skill based on observing a
finished product, not the actual performance of the skill
preference assessments Answer - Conducting formal assessment(s) to determine client preferences for various
items/activities and/or implementing informal "preference checks" throughout sessions to ensure motivation
remains high
Multiple Stimulus Without Replacement Answer - Items are presented in an array and the client is instructed to
pick one and given time to engage with that item. After the engagement interval, the array is presented again
without the already selected item(s) and the client selects again. Process continues until all items are chosen or
client stops choosing items. The FULL array is presented 3-5 times and selection percentage is calculated to give
preference gradient.
ABC Data Answer - Data recorded on the immediate antecedent and consequence for observed instances of
, target behavior
Rating Scale Answer - Structured assessment form with questions regarding various functions of challenging
behavior used to identify likely function(s) to be completed by primary caregivers and others familiar with
client
Reinforcement Answer - The process of providing a reinforcer contingent on the client engaging in a behavior
that you want to increase
Reinforcer Answer - A stimulus (item, activity, statement, etc.) that, when provided immediately after a
response, results in an increase in the future frequency of that response
Unconditioned Reinforcer Answer - A stimulus that requires no learning history to have reinforcing value
Fixed Ratio (FR) Reinforcement Answer - A reinforcer follows a fixed number of responses
Variable Ratio (VR) Reinforcement Answer - A reinforcer follows a variable number of responses
Fixed Interval (FI) Reinforcement Answer - A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a fixed amount
of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement
Variable Interval (VI) Reinforcement Answer - A reinforcer is contingent on the first response after a variable
amount of time since the last opportunity for reinforcement
Mass Trials Answer - Trials of the same task/program are presented repeatedly for a set number of trials
Mixed Trials Answer - Trials from various tasks/ programs are presented in random order for a set number of
trials or a set amount of time
Frequency Answer - Count of each instance
Duration Answer - Time spent engaged in single instance of target behavior
