CBT COMPETENCY EXAM QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
Describe how to prepare for data collection - Answer-Have visuals and data sheets
organized and ready for data collection. Prepare your workspace in advance. Make sure
to acquire necessary tools (clipboard, clicker , notepad)
Implement continuous measurement procedures (frequency, duration) - Answer-
Frequency- the number of times a behavior occurs during a time span. Duration- how
long the behavior lasts from start to finish. (typically use frequency at Sendan)
Partial interval recording - Answer-An occurrence of behavior is recorded if it takes
place at any time during the observation interval; it does not need to span the entire
interval. (screaming); tends to overestimate behavior
momentary time sampling - Answer-an occurrence of the target behavior is recorded if it
occurs at the moment the interval ends. This behavior tracking method is useful for
behaviors that can persist for awhile (e.g., in-seat behavior, stereotypy, and nail biting).
Should be a pre-determined increment (eg. every 3 minutes)
whole interval recording - Answer-the target behavior must span the complete length of
the observation interval. An example would be on-task behavior. Tends to
underestimate behavior
Implement permanent product recording measurement procedures - Answer-Any
environmental effect that results from a behavior can be measured as a permanent
product.Designed to track an enduring outcome of behavior (number of math problems
completed, postcard made, coloring page finished)
Enter data and update graphs - Answer-Be able to summarize and graph data within
15-20 minutes, write an objective and behavioral summary of major session points, use
a program checklist. Sendan uses line graphs.
Define and provide examples of behavior and the environment in observable and
measurable terms. - Answer-Behavior must be operationally defined. Describing
behavior as simply behavior allows it to be observed, and therefore measured. ABC
narrative data format can help define behaviors
single stimulus preference assessments - Answer-A stimulus is presented and the
person's reaction to it is noted. May best be suited for individuals with trouble selecting
from two or more stimuli.
, paired stimulus preference assessment - Answer-Each trial in the paired choice
preference assessment consists of the simultaneous presentation of two stimuli. Each
stimulus is matched with all other stimuli in the set. The observer notes which stimulus
the earner chooses. The stimuli are rank-ordered in terms of high, medium, and low
preference based on how many times a stimuli is chosen. Also Known As: Forced
Choice.
Free operant observations - Answer-Observing and recording what activities the target
person engages in when she can choose during a period of unrestricted access to
numerous activities.
multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) - Answer-an individual makes choices
between multiple stimuli, and each chosen stimulus is subsequently eliminated from the
choice array.
multiple stimulus with replacement (MSW) - Answer-an individual makes choices
between multiple stimuli, and after a choice is made the stimulus is subsequently
replaced before trialed again.
Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures (e.g.,
curriculum-based, developmental, social skills.) - Answer-Conduct probes to gain an
understanding of the child's abilities. May involve running discrete trials without
reinforcement. (eg. what is this? about different community members to see what the
child knows)
Assist with functional assessment procedures. - Answer-A CBT may be asked to
complete ABC narrative data as part of the assessment. Typically, the behavior
specialist will be responsible for gathering information about the client and behavior
from other sources such as interviews with parents, peers, and/or teachers. Report, IEP
and other document reviews represent additional indirect methods of information
gathering.
Identify the essential components of a written skill acquisition plan. - Answer-program
name (skill being targeted), materials needed, SD, operational definitions of correct and
incorrect responses (CR, IR), consequences for CR and IR, how data is collected,
prompt levels on the way to mastery, mastery criterion
Describe how to prepare for the session as required by the skill acquisition plan -
Answer-Read and review the program, look over current data sheet, gather necessary
materials, be comfortable with BIP and how to record novel behaviors
Rules of reinforcer effectiveness - Answer-delivered contingent upon desired behavior,
delivered immediately after behavior occurred, reinforcer must be of worthwhile amount,
satiation and deprivation
