RBT CompetencyAssessment Questions
and Correct Answers
Graded A+
Indirect Measurement - Answer: interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys
Direct Measurement - Answer: observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs
Behavioral Definitions - Answer: operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective +
unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good)
Operational - Answer: describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can
recognize + record the same behavior
Indirect Outcome Recording - Answer: measures results that produces an observable product in the
environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use
Direct Outcome Recording - Answer: instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the
behavior occurs or as it produces results
Event Recording - Answer: behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period, and
each instance of the behavior is recorded immediately as it occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the
behavior look the same every time? Does the behavior have a clear beginning and end?
Frequency Recording - Answer: used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number
of times the behavior occurs
, Intensity - Answer: magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you
are trying to change)
Duration - Answer: how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a
behavior lasts
Latency - Answer: time that occurs between the SD and the response (ex. how long to respond to a
peer's question). You record this when the goal is to decrease the time between SD and response
Partial Interval Recording - Answer: involves checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at ANY point
within the interval - even if it only occured for 1 second. You can use this for self-stimulatory behaviors
or behaviors that don't look the same every time. An overexaggeration of the behavior, you use this
method to decrease behavior.
Whole Interval Recording - Answer: involves checking off the interval if the behavior occurs throughout
the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell when the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs at
such a high rate it is difficult to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this method to
increase behavior.
Momentary Time Sampling Recording - Answer: data is less representative than intervals, looking for a
behavior's occurrence during a specific part of the interval and recording if it is occurring at that precise
moment. Ex: setting a timer to go off every minute for a 30 minute interval, only checking for behavior
and marking it down as the timer goes off.
Reinforcement - Answer: follows a behavior that increases that behavior
Punishment - Answer: follows a behavior that decreases that behavior
Positive Reinforcement - Answer: addition of a pleasant stimulus
Negative Reinforcement - Answer: removal of an aversive stimulus
