(REGISTERED BEHAVIOR
TECHNICIAN) PEARSON RBT ACUAL EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS
List the four functions of behavior: -- ANSWER--Social positive
(attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory
stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)
A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. When he gets out of
his seat his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through
with her demand. This client's out of seat behavior most likely serves what
function? -- ANSWER--Social negative (escape)
A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is
on a break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when
you or someone else is directly engaged with him, and even when he is by
himself. One day mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to
get 6 cavities filled. After this dentist appointment the spitting stopped. What
function does spitting most likely serve? -- ANSWER--Automatic negative
(pain attenuation)
Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in a tantrum.
Mom tries to ignore him but after around five minutes mom gives him back the
, 2
item she removed and the tantrum immediately stops. What function is most
likely maintaining the tantrums? -- ANSWER--Social Positive
(attention/access)
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? --
ANSWER--
(deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and
implement behavior interventions plans as written as a BCBA)
True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA -- ANSWER--False
Rate is... -- ANSWER--the total count per a unit of time
Duration is... -- ANSWER--the time from when the behavior begins to when it
ends.
Latency is... -- ANSWER--the time between the presentation of a stimulus and
the occurrence of a behavior
true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to under-estimate the
frequency of a target behavior while whole interval recording has the tendency
to over-estimate the frequency of the target behavior? -- ANSWER--False
, 3
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used
to collect data using permanent product recording procedures. -- ANSWER-
Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data
recording methods -- ANSWER--True
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum -- ANSWER--Any instance
of the client crying and hitting himself in the head with a closed fist which
makes a sound that can be heard within five feet. Instance must last longer than
30 seconds and are separated by 30 seconds of non-occurrence.
Define behavior: -- ANSWER--The activity of living organisms; human
behavior includes everything that people do.
define environment: -- ANSWER--the conglomerate of real circumstances in
which the organism or references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot
occur in the absence of environment.
Which of the following is a continuous recording method? -- ANSWER--All of
the above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
, 4
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120
times over a 2 hour observation -- ANSWER--60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is... -- ANSWER--When the behavior must occur at
least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is.... -- ANSWER--when the behavior must occur for
the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is.... -- ANSWER--when the behavior must be
occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time is... -- ANSWER--The time between the end of one instance
of the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior.
which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set
to increase? -- ANSWER--whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set
to decrease? -- ANSWER--Partial-interval recording
A client hits other students in his class during work and break times. Each time
he hits another students the teacher immediately provides a verbal reprimand.
