RBT Practice Exam 1

1. Bolting responses were observed during an interval of 15 minutes. This interval was divided into 5-minute segments. The client had to engage in the response during the entire 5-minute segment for the RBT to document its occurrence. Which recording strategy was used in this example?

2. The RBT worked 5 days during the previous week. At the end of the week, the RBT had to calculate the average of tantrums. The collected data are:

• Monday:5
• Tuesday:8
• Wednesday:1
• Thursday:5
• Friday:2

What is the average Tantrums for this week?

3. An RBT was asked to collect data on a new problematic behavior. The BCBA plans to add it to the Behavior Intervention Plan. The RBT was instructed to divide an hour into 6 6 intervals. She was also instructed to determine the behavior occurrence based on it occurring at the end of each interval. Which recording method was used in this case?

4. The BCBA instructs you to measure the time between the end of one response and the beginning of the same response. What continuous measurement procedure is being implemented?

5. When preparing for data collection, an RBT should do all of the following except:

6. The RBT is working with a new client to identify preferences. The RBT presents 5 items in front of the child: a car, bubbles, a train, a stuffed animal, and a puzzle. The RBT states to pick one, so 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?

7. A teacher asked her students to draw on a piece of paper with their names on it. She didn’t have to see them drawing to determine if they engaged in the response. Why is this?

8. The RBT worked 6 days during the previous week. At the end of the week, the RBT had to calculate the average of Task Refusals. The collected data are:

• Monday: 6
• Tuesday: 6
• Wednesday: 6
• Thursday: 10
• Friday: 8
• Saturday: 8

What is the average of Task Refusals for this week?

9. Your BCBA instructs you to take data on how many times your client engages in verbal refusal in 30-minute intervals. What type of data collection is used?

10. Jenny, an RBT, was collecting data on her client’s Hazel. She noticed that the responses were mostly anticipated by a loud noise. After these noises are heard, it takes approximately 3 seconds for the response to occur. This time that elapses between the loud noise and the response is known as _ _ _?

11. Clickers and Tally Marks are tools mostly used while measuring _ _ _

12. 50 minutes elapsed since the last tantrum ended to when the following started. This interval is known as _ _ _

13. 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?

14. Which measurement procedure is being used if the observer is recording if the target behavior occurred at any point in the interval?

15. Stuart is using Discrimination Training to teach Joshua to discriminate against the color green. Every time Joshua uses his index finger to touch the green card, Stuart marks that trial as successful. During the last session, Joshua touched the green card 6 times but contacted the red card the other 4 instead. Help Stuart calculate the percentage of correct color green discrimination during this session.
