RBT Practice Exam 2

Partial Interval Recording can overestimate behavior frequency because it records whether a behavior occurred at any point during an interval, even if it only occurred briefly.

Frequency is used to measure how often a behavior occurs, such as tracking how often a student raises their ha

Momentary Time Sampling is a discontinuous measurement procedure because it only records behavior at specific points in time, rather than continuously.

The primary responsibility of an RBT is to respect client dignity, which includes ensuring that the client is treated with respect, maintaining confidentiality, and following ethical guidelines.

A discrete trial involves structured teaching, where a specific skill is taught in a controlled, step-by-step manner.

Frequency is best for measuring behaviors with a clear start and end because it simply counts how often the behavior occurs.

Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior (DRA) involves reinforcing a desirable alternative behavior to replace an undesired one.

Session notes should contain objective, fact-based descriptions of the client’s behavior to ensure that the information is useful and professional.

According to guidelines, two supervisors can oversee up to 10 RBTs during group supervision, allowing for more efficient management and support.

Data collection is primarily used to guide clinical decisions and inform treatment plans, helping to track progress and make necessary adjustments.

Whole interval recording requires the behavior to occur for the entire duration of the interval.

If you are not fully trained on a plan, it's crucial to request additional training before implementing it to ensure accuracy and efficacy in your interventions.

Baseline data is collected before intervention to establish the normal frequency of behaviors and measure the effectiveness of the intervention.

Partial interval recording involves noting whether a behavior occurred at any point during a preset interval, regardless of how long it lasted.

Clickers and tally marks are typically used for frequency measurement, counting how often a behavior occurs.

Schedule thinning refers to gradually increasing the criteria for reinforcement (e.g., requiring 6 tokens instead of 5), making it harder for the client to earn a reward over time.

Alex learned a more efficient way to carry items, showing behavior change based on a better method rather than due to a punishment or reinforcement.

The student is likely running away to avoid the task, which is an example of escape behavior.

Incidents should be reported whenever there is a significant or unexpected event, not just in extreme cases or upon request by the client.

In the "Multiple Stimuli Without Replacement" assessment, the item selected is removed from the set in the next round.

The average is 6 + 6 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 8 = 44, and 44 ÷ 6 = 7.

A preference assessment helps identify which items or activities a client prefers, helping to select appropriate reinforcers for behavior modification.

As an RBT, maintaining professional boundaries is important, so it is best to politely decline friend requests from clients or their family members.

Correct responses are the green card touches, so 6 correct out of 10 total responses equals 60%.

Momentary Time Sampling records whether the behavior is occurring at the very end of an interval.

A dual relationship occurs when a professional relationship overlaps with a personal one, such as providing services to family members or socializing with a client.

After reducing an undesirable behavior, teaching a functionally equivalent behavior (a behavior that serves the same purpose) helps the client replace the problem behavior with a more appropriate alternative.

All of these actions show respect for a client’s dignity by honoring their privacy, cultural values, and maintaining confidentiality.

The Multiple Stimuli Without Replacement (MSWO) assessment is used when a client consistently chooses the same side, providing a clear preference hierarchy.

Inter-response time (IRT) measures the time between occurrences of the same behavior, in this case, the gap between tantrums.

An interview with parents is an indirect assessment because it collects information about behavior from third-party reports rather than direct observation.

Confidentiality is crucial to protect client privacy, follow ethical guidelines, and avoid legal complications. RBTs are responsible for safeguarding sensitive information.

The correct course of action is to report any suspicions of neglect or abuse to a supervisor immediately to ensure the safety and well-being of the client.

ABC data collection is a direct assessment because it involves observing the behavior in real-time and recording the antecedents, behavior, and consequences.

Rate refers to the frequency of behavior within a specified time frame. In this case, 5 kicks per minute represents a rate.
