RBT Certification Exam With Questions And Answers AllAre Graded A 2022 Solutions
Discrete Trial Correct Answers: Any operant whose response rate is controlled by a given opportunity
to emit the response.
Each discrete response occurs when an opportunity to respond exists
Synonymous Terms: restricted operant, controlled operates; contrasts with free operant.
ABC Recording Correct Answers: also known as "anecdotal observation." Usually in the form of a
table in which an observer writes down what happens before (antecedent), during (behavior), and
after (consequence) a behavior of interest, particularly a problem behavior. May be one part of a
descriptive FBA.
Anecdotal (or ABC) observation Correct Answers: A form of direct, continuous observation in which
the observer records a descriptive, temporally sequenced account of all behavior(s) of interest and
the antecedent conditions and consequences for those behaviors as the events occur in the client's
natural environment.
Stimulus Preference Assessment Correct Answers: A variety of procedures used to determine the
stimuli that a person prefers, the relative preference values (high versus low) of those stimuli, the
conditions under which those preference values remain in effect, and their presumed value as
reinforces.
Dependent Variable Correct Answers: The variable in an experiment measured to determine if it
changes as a result of manipulation of the (other) variable; in applied behavior analysis, it represents
some measure of a socially significant behavior; often, it is the same as the target behavior
Independent Variable Correct Answers: The variable that is systematically manipulated by the
researcher in an experiment to see whether changes in this variable produce reliable changes in the
(other) variable. In applied behavior analysis, it is usually an environmental event or condition
antecedent or consequent to the (other) variable.
Trend Correct Answers: The overall direction taken by a data path. It is described in terms of direction
(increasing, decreasing, or zero trend), degree (gradual or steep), and the extent of variability of data
points around it. This feature is used in predicting future measures of the behavior under unchanging
conditions.
Data Path Correct Answers: The level and trend of behavior between successive data points; created
by drawing a straight line from the center of each data point in a given data set to the center of the
next data point in the same set.
Baseline Correct Answers: A condition of an experiment in which the independent variable is not
preset; data obtained during this phase are the basis for determining the effects of the independent
variable; a control condition that does not necessarily mean the absence of instruction or treatment,
only the absence of a specific independent variable of experimental interest.
A-B design Correct Answers: A two phase experimental design consisting of a pre-treatment baseline
condition, A. Followed by a treatment condition, B
, Line Graph Correct Answers: Based on a Cartesian plane, a two-dimensional area formed by the
intersection of two perpendicular lines. Any point within the plane represents a specific relation
between the two dimensions described by the intersecting lines. It is the most common graphic
format for displaying data in applied behavior analysis.
Frequency Correct Answers: A ratio of count per observation time; often expressed as count per
standard unit of time (e.g., per minute, per hour, per day) and calculated by dividing the number of
responses recorded by the number of standard units of time in which observations were conducted;
used interchangeably with "rate"
Partial-interval recording Correct Answers: A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which
the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals (typically from 5 to 10 seconds).
The observer records whether the target behavior occurred AT ANY TIME during the interval. This
type of recording is not concerned with how many times the behavior occurred during the interval or
how long the behavior was present, just that it occurred during the interval; tends to OVERESTIMATE
the proportion of the observation period that the behavior actually occurred.
Duration Recording Correct Answers: Measure of the total extent of time in which a behavior occurs;
often subtraction of time of onset from time offset is used to calculate total time elapsed.
Continuous Measurement Correct Answers: Measurement conducted in a manner such that all
instances of the response classes of interest are detected during the observation period.
Event Recording Correct Answers: Measurement procedure for obtaining a tally or count of the
number of times a behavior occurs.
Measurement Correct Answers: "The process of assigning numbers and units to particular features of
objects or events; involves attaching a number representing the observed extent of a dimensional
quantity to an appropriate unit. The number and the unit together constitute the measure of the object
or event.
Variable-Momentary DRO (VM-DRO) Correct Answers: A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is
available at specific moments of time, which are separated by variable amounts of time in random
sequence, and delivered if the problem is not occurring at those times.
Spaced-responding DRL Correct Answers: A procedure for implementing DRL in which reinforcement
follows each occurrence of the target behavior that is separated from the previous response by a
minimum interresponse time.
Interval DRL Correct Answers: A procedure for implementing DRL in which the total session is
divided into equal intervals and reinforcement is provided at the end of each interval in which the
number of responses during the interval is equal to or below a criterion limit.
fixed-momentary DRO (FM-DRO) Correct Answers: A DRO procedure in which reinforcement is
available at specific moments of time, which are separated by a fixed amount of time, and delivered
contingent on the problem behavior not occurring at those moments.
