RBT Exam 2025 ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Some of the material you might need for data collection - Correct answers✔✔Paper data sheets
and a pen (if your company uses paper data collection)
Tablet or other device with your electronic data system open and logged in (if your company
uses digital data collection)
Timer to track the duration, interresponse time, or response latency of target behaviors
Clicker to count the number of times a target behavior occursv
Continuous measurement - Correct answers✔✔Record every occurrence of the target behavior
Discontinuous measurement - Correct answers✔✔If there are barriers to recording all
occurrences
Count - Correct answers✔✔The number of times a behavior occurs
Ex: Patrick punched is brother 3 times; Sally independelty minded for a cookie 1 time
Frequency/rate - Correct answers✔✔The number of times a behavior occurs over a particular
time period.
EX: Dahlia bit her hand 6 times per hour (rate) ; Sammie cooks dinner 5x per week (frequency)
Response latency - Correct answers✔✔The duration of the time that passes from the onset of an
SD (SD in often the instruction/demand) to the start of the behavior
EX:A mom tells her daughter, "come sit down. It's time for dinner." The daughter comes to the
table 3 mins later. The response latency is 3 min.
,interresponse time (IRT) - Correct answers✔✔The duration of the time that passes from the end
of a response to the beginning of the next response
EX: Maya raises her hand in class at (:00AM, then again at 9:05 AM. The IRT between her
raising her hand would be 5 mins.
Duration - Correct answers✔✔A total amount of the time from the beginning of a behavior to the
end of it.
EX: Benji screams for 3 mins; Aniyah reads a book for 22 mins
Whole Interval Recording - Correct answers✔✔Break an observation period into equal intervals
30 secs, 5 mins, 20 mins
Next, record data on whether the target behavior occurs throughout the whole duration of the
interval. If the behavior did occur for the entire interval, mark that interval as a "yes," "+," or
"✔." If the behavior did not occur for the entire interval, mark the interval as a "no," "-," or "X."
EX: Lilah is taking whole interval data for her client's repetitive spitting. The session is broken
up into 2-minute intervals. Every 2 minutes, she records whether her client spits for the full 2-
minute interval. If her client did not spit at all OR spit for some of the interval, but not the whole
time, Lilah marks "-" for that interval. When her client spits for a full 2-minute interval, Lilah
marks "+" for that interval.
Partial Interval Recording - Correct answers✔✔Break an observation period into equal intervals,
simlair to whole interval recording
EX:Lilah is taking whole interval data for her client's repetitive spitting. The session is broken up
into 2-minute intervals. Every 2 minutes, she records whether her client spits for the full 2-
minute interval. If her client did not spit at all OR spit for some of the interval, but not the whole
time, Lilah marks "-" for that interval. When her client spits for a full 2-minute interval, Lilah
marks "+" for that interval.
Momentary Time Sampling - Correct answers✔✔.
, At the end of each interval, observe whether the target behavior is currently occurring.
EX:A 6th-grade teacher has two students who tend to lose focus during independent work time.
The teacher breaks a 45-minute independent work period into nine 5-minute intervals. She
grades assignments while the students are working. At the end of each 5-minute interval, she
briefly looks up to see if those students are attending to their work. If they are attending to their
work at that time, she marks a "+". If they are not attending to their work at that time, she marks
a "-".
Pre-task choice - Correct answers✔✔-Ask the learner before they work on a task what they
would like to "earn" for completing the task
-They can choose from 2 to 3 items presented
Permanent Product - Correct answers✔✔Involves indirectly measuring behavior based on a
permanent product of the behavior
Ex:A teacher measures his student's homework completion based on the final product: whether
or not the student turned in a completed homework assignment.
Enter date and update graphs - Correct answers✔✔A teacher measures his student's homework
completion based on the final product: whether or not the student turned in a completed
homework assignment.
X-axis - Correct answers✔✔is horizontal on a graph. On this axis, you record the date or session
number.
Y-axis - Correct answers✔✔On this axis, you record the measure of the behavior (e.g., the
duration, percentage, rate, etc.).
Topography - Correct answers✔✔What behavior looks like
