RBT Most Difficult Questions

💡 Hint: RBTs do not alter programs independently.

1) During a session, a parent asks the RBT to add a new skill to the client’s program. What is the correct response?

Add it only if it seems easy

Try it during free time

Tell the parent you’ll do it tomorrow

Inform the parent you'll relay the request to the supervisor

💡 Hint: Continuous = capturing every single occurrence.

2) Which is the most accurate example of continuous measurement?

Taking data every 10 minutes

Recording every instance of hand-flapping during the session

Using a Likert scale to rate severity

Timing only the first instance of a behavior

Dignity is preserved by avoiding stigmatization and using respectful, neutral language.

3) Which of the following is the most appropriate way for an RBT to maintain client dignity during a behavior intervention?

Describe the behavior publicly to other staff

Use client initials while discussing data

Use neutral tone and avoid labeling the client’s behavior

Use humor to deflect uncomfortable moments

💡 Hint: Always reinforce the appropriate communicative response, not alternative behaviors like pointing.

4) A client uses an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) device. During a mand trial, they point instead of using the device. What should the RBT do?

Give the item immediately

Ignore the point and wait

Prompt use of AAC device for manding

Say “use your words”

💡 Hint: Avoid reinforcing escape-maintained behavior by ensuring task completion with support.

5) A client begins eloping when presented with a math worksheet. The BCBA has identified the function as escape. What should the RBT do?

Block the elopement and remove the worksheet

Call the supervisor immediately

Block elopement and follow through with task using prompts

Let the client calm down and skip the worksheet

💡 Hint: Transparency and supervision communication is a professional standard.

6) If an RBT accidentally reinforces a problem behavior, what is the best course of action?

Document the incident and inform the supervisor

Ignore it and continue the session

Punish the behavior to undo reinforcement

Tell the caregiver not to worry

💡 Hint: Partial interval = behavior occurs at any time during interval.

7) An RBT collects interval data by checking if a behavior occurs at any time during a 10-second window. What type of recording is this?

Whole interval

Momentary time sampling

Partial interval

Duration recording

Escape-maintained behaviors are reinforced when demands are removed. The correct strategy is not to remove the demand (which would reinforce escape behavior), but to use least-to-most prompting to help the client complete the task, then reinforce that compliance. This reduces the likelihood of escape-maintained behavior in the future.

8) During a discrete trial session, a client begins to engage in escape-maintained challenging behavior when a demand is placed. What is the most appropriate response from the RBT based on behavior analytic principles?

Remove the demand and try again later

Provide verbal reasoning to calm the client

Prompt the client to complete the task and reinforce compliance

Ignore the behavior and move on to the next task

💡 Hint: Ethical conduct requires reporting any deviation from plan/protocol.

9) You observe another RBT using punishment procedures not outlined in the behavior plan. What should you do?

Ask them to stop immediately

Document and report the incident to your BCBA

Try the method yourself to confirm

Ignore it unless the client cries

💡 Hint: Generalization = responding correctly across varied stimuli.

10) Which of the following best demonstrates stimulus generalization?

Saying "red" when shown a red crayon only

Only greeting mom but not dad

Saying "dog" when seeing a poodle, bulldog, and golden retriever

Touching head only when teacher says it
