1. The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following?
A) Deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching
B) Record data
C) Implement behavior intervention plans as written by a BCBA
D) All of the above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: RBTs perform all of these tasks—delivering DTT and incidental teaching, recording
data, and following plans developed by their supervising BCBA.
2. True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA
Correct answer: False
Rationale: RBTs must always practice under the supervision of a qualified BCBA (or BCaBA),
as they are not credentialed to practice independently.
3. Rate is...
A) The total count per a unit of time
B) The total number of responses before a break
C) How long a behavior lasts
D) How long it takes for the behavior to start
Correct answer: A
Rationale: “Rate” measures how many times a behavior occurs in a specified time period (e.g.,
responses per hour).
4. Duration is...
A) The total count per a unit of time
B) The time from when the behavior begins to when it ends

WITH A STUDY GUIDE
C) The time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
D) The amount of time between two consecutive instances of behavior
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Duration measures how long a behavior lasts, from onset to offset.
5. Latency is...
A) The total count per a unit of time
B) The time between consecutive responses
C) The time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
D) The time from onset to offset of a behavior
Correct answer: C
Rationale: Latency is the delay from the prompt or instruction (stimulus) until the behavior
actually begins.
6. Which of the following is a continuous recording method?
A) Duration
B) Rate/frequency
C) Latency
D) All of the above
Correct answer: D
Rationale: Duration, frequency (rate), and latency are all continuous methods of measuring
behavior because each instance is recorded.
7. Calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times over
a 2-hour observation.
A) 120 per hour, 2 per minute
B) 60 per hour, 1 per minute
C) 30 per hour, 0.5 per minute
D) 120 per hour, 1 per minute

WITH A STUDY GUIDE
Correct answer: B
Rationale: 120 occurrences in 2 hours = 60 per hour. Dividing 60 by 60 minutes = 1 occurrence
per minute.
8. Partial-interval recording is...
A) When the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded
B) When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to be recorded
C) When the behavior must occur exactly twice during the interval
D) When the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded
Correct answer: B
Rationale: Partial-interval recording “captures” the behavior if it happens at any point within the
interval.
9. Whole-interval recording is...
A) When the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded
B) When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval
C) When the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval
D) When the behavior is not recorded if it starts late
Correct answer: A
Rationale: Whole-interval recording requires the behavior to persist throughout the entire
interval.
10. Momentary time sampling is...
A) When the behavior must occur for the entire interval
B) When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval
C) When the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded
D) When the behavior is never recorded if it starts early
Correct answer: C
Rationale: In momentary time sampling, the observer checks for behavior only at the precise
moment the interval ends.
