RBT Competency Assessment Test Questions with Correct Answers Graded A+

Indirect Measurement - Answers interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys

Direct Measurement - Answers observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs

Behavioral Definitions - Answers operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective +
unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good)

Operational - Answers describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can
recognize + record the same behavior

Indirect Outcome Recording - Answers measures results that produces an observable product in the
environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use

Direct Outcome Recording - Answers instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the
behavior occurs or as it produces results

Event Recording - Answers 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 - Answers used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number
of times the behavior occurs

Intensity - Answers magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you
are trying to change)

Duration - Answers how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a
behavior lasts

Latency - Answers 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 - Answers 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 - Answers 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 - Answers 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 - Answers follows a behavior that increases that behavior

Punishment - Answers follows a behavior that decreases that behavior

Positive Reinforcement - Answers addition of a pleasant stimulus

Negative Reinforcement - Answers removal of an aversive stimulus

Positive Punishment - Answers addition of an aversive stimulus

Negative Punishment - Answers removal of a pleasant stimulus

Motivating Operations - Answers Variables in the environment that alter the relative value of a
particular reinforcer at a particular time.

Deprivation - Answers when a person hasn't had access to a particular reinforcer for a significant period
of time, makes it more potent

Immediacy - Answers the time between the occurrence of the behavior and the delivery of the
reinforcer. The more immediate, the more effective

Size - Answers the magnitude of the reinforcer changes the effectiveness. You want to not give too
much or the reinforcer will lose its value, but too little will not be motivating enough.

Contingency - Answers when the reinforcer is delivered only for the target behavior it is more effective

Schedules of Reinforcement - Answers specifies how often particular behaviors receive reinforcement

Continuous schedule - Answers used for learning new behaviors, the behavior is reinforced every time

Intermittent Schedule - Answers used to maintain behavior once a skill is acquired. Behavior is only
reinforced some of the time. They generate high response rates and prevent behavior from stopping.

Fixed Ratio Schedule - Answers a schedule of reinforcement after a fixed level of responses. Ex: reinforce
after every 5th correct response.

Variable Ratio Schedule - Answers An average number of responses must be made before delivery of
reinforcement. Ex: slot machine

Fixed Interval Schedule - Answers it doesn't matter how many times the behavior occurred, the person
only gets the reinforcer once the response is given after a fixed amount of time. Ex: receiving a
paycheck.
