The BCBA instructs you to measure the time between the end of one response to the
beginning of the same response. What continuous measurement procedure is being
implemented? - answerInter-response time
All of the following are discontinuous measurement procedures, except:
Whole interval recording
Momentary time sampling
Partial Interval recording
Inter-response time - answerInter-response time
Which measurement procedure is being used if the observer is recording if the target
behavior occurred at any point in the interval? - answerPartial Interval Recording
A RBT sets a timer for 2 minutes. When the 2-minute timer goes off, the RBT looks up
immediately to see if their client is sitting in their seat. - answerMomentary Time
Sampling
The observer is recording data on tangible items (e.g., completed math worksheets) left
over in the environment that can be recorded at a later time. What measurement
procedure is being described? - answerPermanent Product Recording
. When graphing data, _______is labeled the X-Axis and _______is labeled the Y-Axis.
- answerTime, Behavior
, The Abscissa refers to which axis on a line graph? - answerX-Axis
What is the most common graph used in applied behavior analysis? - answerLine graph
Which term is used to describe anything an organism does that is observable and
measurable? - answerBehavior
A BCBA is describing to the RBT the target response for data collection. He/she then
describes the physical form or shape of the behavior, in other words, what the behavior
looks like. The BCBA is describing the ________ of the target behavior. -
answerTopography
The RBT instructed the learner that it is time to go to the classroom to practice tracing
lower case letters. Once seated, the learner engages in elopement each time the RBT
presents the instruction "Let's Trace." Based on the scenario and the 4 functions of
behavior, what appears to be the function? - answerEscape
. The RBT is working with a new client on identifying preferences. The RBT presents 5
items in front of the child including a car, bubbles, a train, a stuffed animal, and a
puzzle. The RBT states "Pick one." The child chooses the bubbles. In the next
presentation of the stimuli, the bubbles are taken out of the array and the other items
are re-arranged. The RBT instructs the client again to "Choose one." Which preference
assessment is being implemented? - answerMultiple Stimuli without Replacement
The BCBA gave the RBT 10 tasks to have the learner perform to assess whether the
learner can perform the tasks or not. This is an example of: - answerProbing
Essential components of a written skill acquisition plan include all of the following,
except:
Identify a skill to teach and create a goal
Modify the plan if necessary
Identify a measurement procedure for data collection
Review data on average once every 2 months - answerReview data on average once
every 2 months
First, the RBT gathered the necessary materials needed for data collection and program
implementation. Next, the RBT spent 15 minutes before their session reviewing the
updated behavior intervention plan and programming to prepare for their session. The
RBT had 2 questions and reached out to the supervising BCBA for clarification before
beginning the session. These are all necessary components of: - answerPreparing for
the session as required by the skill acquisition plan
This describes a principle of behavior describing a response consequence functional
relation in which the response is followed immediately by a stimulus change that results
in similar responses occurring more often in the future: - answerReinforcement
