PEARSON RBT EXAM 2026 | 500+ VERIFIED Q&A | 2ND
ED. TASK LIST & 2026 UPDATES | GRADED A+
The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following?
All of the above
(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
False
Rate is...
the total count per a unit of time
Duration is...
the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends.
Latency is...
the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior
Which of the following is a continuous recording method?
All of the above
(duration, rate/frequency, and latency)
calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times over a
2 hour observation
,2|Page
60 per hour, 1 per minute
partial-interval recording is...
When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to be recorded
Whole-interval recording is....
when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
Momentary time sampling is....
when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
Inter-response time is...
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?
whole-interval recording
Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to decrease?
Partial-interval recording
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?
False
, 3|Page
Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to collect
data using permanent product recording procedures.
Number of broken windows and folded shirts
True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data recording
methods
True
Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum
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:
The activity of living organisms; human behavior includes everything that people do.
define environment:
the conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or references part of the organism
exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.
List the four functions of behavior:
Social positive (attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory
stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)
