Pearson RBT Exam | 100% Correct Answers | Verified | Latest 2024 Version

The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? - ✔✔All of the above (deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and implement behavior interventions plans as written as a BCBA)

True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA - ✔✔False

Rate is... - ✔✔the total count per a unit of time

Duration is... - ✔✔the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends.

Latency is... - ✔✔the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior

Which of the following is a continuous recording method? - ✔✔All of the above (duration, rate/frequency, and latency)

calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times over a 2 hour observation - ✔✔60 per hour, 1 per minute

partial-interval recording is... - ✔✔When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to be recorded

Whole-interval recording is.... - ✔✔when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded.

Momentary time sampling is.... - ✔✔when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.

Inter-response time is... - ✔✔The time between the end of one instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior.

which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to increase? - ✔✔whole- interval recording

Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to decrease? - ✔✔Partial-interval recording

true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to under-estimate the frequency of a target behavior while whole interval recording has the tendency to over-estimate the frequency of the target behavior? - ✔✔False

Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to collect data using permanent product recording procedures. - ✔✔Number of broken windows and folded shirts

True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data recording methods - ✔✔True

Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum - ✔✔Any instance of the client crying and hitting himself in the head with a closed fist which makes a sound that can be heard within five feet. Instance must last longer than 30 seconds and are separated by 30 seconds of non-occurrence.

Define behavior: - ✔✔The activity of living organisms; human behavior includes everything that people do.

define environment: - ✔✔the conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.

List the four functions of behavior: - ✔✔Social positive (attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)

A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. When he gets out of his seat his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through with her demand. This client's out of seat behavior most likely serves what function? - ✔✔Social negative (escape)

A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when you or someone else is directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself. One day mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled. After this dentist appointment the spitting stopped. What function does spitting most likely serve? - ✔✔Automatic negative (pain attenuation)

Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in a tantrum. Mom tries to ignore him but after around five minutes mom gives him back the item she removed and the tantrum immediately stops. What function is most likely maintaining the tantrums? - ✔✔Social Positive (attention/access)

A client hits other students in his class during work and break times. Each time he hits another students the teacher immediately provides a verbal reprimand. What function does his hitting most like serve? - ✔✔Social Positive (attention/access)

You work with a client who drops legos on the floor for hours if left alone. The client does this even if others are playing with him, when no demands are being placed, and when given free access to a number of preferred toys. What is the function of the lego dropping behavior? - ✔✔Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation)

What is an antecedent? - ✔✔A stimulus that occurs before the behavior

What is a consequence? - ✔✔A stimulus that occurs after the behavior

Why do we conduct assessments? - ✔✔All of the above (to discover behavioral deficits, to discover behavior excesses, to identify environment variables)

True/False: A functional assessment is a set of procedures used to identify the cause of a problem behavior or socially inappropriate behavior. - ✔✔True

A functional analysis is... - ✔✔The deliberate manipulation of variables to evoke a target behavior to determine the function of the behavior.

A Functional Behavior Assessment is... - ✔✔all of the above (a set of interviews conducted to identify the function of a behavior, observations of the problem behavior as it is occurring in the natural setting, and functional analysis)

What does the ABC stand for in ABC recording? - ✔✔Antecedent, Behavior, Consequence

A reinforcer is... - ✔✔A stimulus that increases or maintains the frequency of a behavior

A punisher is... - ✔✔A stimulus that decreases the future frequency of a behavior.

Provide one example of a primary reinforcer - ✔✔food, water, warmth.

Provide one example of a secondary reinforcer - ✔✔bell, token, praise.

The manipulation if Motivating Operations is a(n)... - ✔✔Antecedent intervention

True/False: an Establishing Operation increases the value of a particular reinforcer - ✔✔True

True/False: An Abolishing Operation decreases the value of a particular reinforcer - ✔✔True

What is the main purpose of pairing yourself with reinforcement: - ✔✔to make you reinforcing to the client

What is differential reinforcement? - ✔✔reinforcing a desired behavior while discontinuing the reinforcement for an undesired behavior.
