RBT Exam 2023-2024 Study Guide /105 CompleteQuestions With Verified Answers
Quiz :Continuous Measurement - Answer :Measuring each and every instance
of behavior within the entire observation period.
Quiz :What are the 5 types of continuous measurement? -
Answer :Frequency, Rate, Duration, Inter Rate Response (IRR), and Latency.
Quiz :Frequency - Answer :A simple count of the instances of a behavior,
represented by a tally.
Example; how many times did John hit another student? You would tally every
time John hit another student and present the count as a number. John hit
another student five times.
Quiz :Rate - Answer :A frequency count with a time element. This type of
continuous measurement is an important measurement when looking at
behaviors which are frequent and short, like hitting, raising hands, flapping
hands, disrupting another student, yelling.
Example; if you are measuring how many times John hit another student, you
would report this as John hits at the rate of five times per hour.
Quiz :Duration - Answer :How long a Behavior occurs. To take this type of
data you start a stopwatch when the behavior begins and end the stopwatch
when the behavior stops. This data is often reported as an average over time,
and is for behaviors that are long lasting like tantrums, social play, how long it
takes a child to get dressed.
Quiz :Inter Rate Response (IRT) - Answer :This is the observed time between
responses. To take this type of data you start the stopwatch when the behavior
ends and stop the stopwatch when the behavior begins again. This type of data
is typically reported as an average.
Example; The time between doing math problems, the time between prosocial
behaviors.
Quiz :Latency - Answer :This is the time from prompt to the start of the
behavior. To take this type of data start the stopwatch when the prompt is
,given and stop the stopwatch when the behavior starts. You might want to
take this type of data when there is a delay between the prompts and when
the behavior occurs.
Example; The time from a prompt to get dressed to a person getting dressed,
the time from the instruction to begin a math problem to the response.
Quiz :Discontinuous Measurement - Answer :These measurement procedures
are classified as samples of the target behavior, but they do not measure every
instance of a behavior within the entire observation period. These types of
measurement procedures are used when it is too time-consuming to take
continuous measurement data.
Quiz :What are the 3 types of Discontinuous Measurement? - Answer :Partial
interval, whole interval, and momentary time sampling.
Quiz :Partial Interval - Answer :A type of discontinuous measurement that
records the presence or absence of a behavior during a brief interval of time.
Intervals are marked as positive if the target behavior occurred at any time
during the interval, and negative if the target behavior did not occur during the
entire interval.
Example; take an interval of 30 seconds and look for hand flapping behavior.
You would mark a positive if the hand flapping behavior occurred at any point
during the 30 second intervals, and a negative if it did not.
Quiz :Whole interval - Answer :A discontinuous measurement procedure that
records the presence or absence of a behavior during the whole interval.
Intervals are marked as a positive if the target behavior occurred during the
entire interval, and a negative if the target behavior stopped at any time during
the interval.
Example; if you are doing a 30 second intervals and measuring hand flapping
behavior, you would mark it positive if the hand flapping behavior occurred
during the entire 30 seconds, or negative if the hand flapping behavior stopped
at any point in time during those 30 seconds.
Quiz :Momentary Time Sampling - Answer :A discontinuous measurement
procedure that records the presence or absence of a behavior at the very end
of an interval. Intervals are marked as a positive if the target behavior occurred
, at the end of the interval, or a negative when the target behavior does not
occur at the end of the interval. This procedure is best to do for many clients at
the same time.
Example; if a teacher is trying to measure task engagement for a group of
students during a 30 second interval, if the teacher looked up at the students
at the 28 second mark she would mark a positive for those students who are
engaged in their tasks at that point in time and a negative for those students
who were not engaged in their task when she looked up. Regardless of if they
were the entire time.
Quiz :Permanent Product procedures - Answer :This type of recording is not
recording behaviors, but recording the products that the behavior produces.
Example; you could record how many questions a student answered on a
worksheet by simply looking at the worksheet after and counting the problems
completed. Similarly, you could see a clean room as a result of the child
cleaning their room and you would record their behavior as a positive because
the end result is a clean room.
Quiz :Provide examples of permanent product recordings? - Answer :1) How
many items were placed on a shelf
2) how much homework was completed
3) how many bracelets were constructed
4) how many dishes were clean
5) how many scratches a person has.
*this is valid because these are all an after product of a behavior occurring.
Quiz :How would summarize different types of data? (Frequency, duration,
IRT, latency, and interval data) - Answer :1) frequency is summarized as rate
over sessions.
2) duration is summarized as total duration over one session.
3) IRT is summarized as an average.
4)Latency is summarized as a average latency to response
5) interval data is summarized as percent intervals with occurrence
Quiz :List some rules for graphing data? (5?) - Answer :1) label the horizontal
axis (x) with sessions or days
2) label the vertical axis (y) with the type of measurement you are using
