(COMPLETE) QUESTIONS AND CORRECT

ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES(VERIFIED

ANSWERS)|AGRADE

1) RBTs using continuous measurement procedures might use .

A. ABC recording (Correct Answer)

B. Momentary Time Sampling

C. Partial Interval recording

D. Whole Interval Recording

Feedback:

Only ABC (antecedent, behavior, consequence) recording could be continuous recording. Momentary

Time Sampling, Whole Interval recording, and Partial Interval recording are time sampling procedures

that do not necessarily record every instance of a behavior. A-03

2) Janelle, a BCBA, asks her client to go to the store and buy one loaf of bread, a stick of butter, and a

quart of milk. When he returns she checks his shopping bag to make sure he purchased every item

on the list. Janelle is using .

A. Momentary Time Sampling

B. ABC recording

C. Permanent Product recording (Correct Answer)

D. Whole Interval recording

Feedback: Permanent Product recording is an assessment used after the behavior has occurred to

assess the outcome of a behavior. Other examples include number of items correct on a test, number

of products assembled, number of shirts without food stains. A-04

3) The following is an example of a cumulative graph. Characteristics of a cumulative graph include:

A. data is recorded only once per day; downward slopes indicate decreasing behavior

B. data never decreases; flat lines indicate periods of no performance of the target behavior; steeper

slope means more incidence of the target behavior (Correct Answer)

C. unstable data patterns; can have both increasing or decreasing trends

D. decreasing data, flat lines indicate periods of no performance of the target behavior; steeper slope

means a greater decrease of the target behavior

Feedback:

Cumulative records display behaviors that have occurred over time (CUMULATIVE RECORDS AND

GRAPHS NEVER DECREASE). Flat line indicates period of no performance of the behavior, steep

slope indicates more incidents of target behavior. A-05

4) All of the following are ways to collect data EXCEPT .

A. computer program

B. tally marks

C. graphs (Correct Answer)

D. Xs and Os for occurrence and nonoccurrence of behavior

Feedback:

There are many different ways to collect data. Most common data collection methods involve handmarking (tally marks, Xs and Os for occurrence and nonoccurrence of behavior, etc.) and digital

tracking via computer or phone apps. It is important to differentiate between recording data and

updating graphs. BCBAs and RBTs 1) select the data they want to track, 2) collect data, 3) update

graphs, and 4) interpret data using visual analysis. A-01

5) Continuous measurement procedures include: frequency (how many times a behavior occurs), rate (how

many times a behavior occurs per period of time i.e. tantrums per hour), and .

A. Whole Interval recording (recording when the behavior occurs throughout an entire interval)

B. MST (Momentary Time Sampling, behavior occurring at the end of an interval)

C. permanent product (recording of durable products of a behavior after the behavior occurs)

D. duration (how long a behavior lasts) (Correct Answer)

Feedback:

Permanent product, MST, and Whole Interval recording are all discontinuous measurement procedures.

Discontinuous measurement does not record every instance of a behavior. A-02

6) Sarah, an RBT, is tracking to see how long it takes from when she says, "Put your shoes on," to when

her developmentally disabled adult client actually begins the process of putting on his shoes. Sarah is

tracking .

A. Inter-Response Time (IRT)

B. Latency (Correct Answer)

C. Duration

D. Frequency

Feedback:

Latency measures the time between an antecedent stimuli (the prompt, can also be a cue or signal) and

the response. IRT measures the time between the end of one response and the beginning of another.

Duration is the time from the beginning of a response until it ends. Frequency is the number of times a

behavior occurs. A-02

7) In order for RBTs to track data, they must have an operational definition of the behavior they are

observing and knowledge of the dimension of the behavior they are recording (rate, frequency, latency,

IRT, duration etc.). An operational definition should be all of the following EXCEPT .

A. clear and complete (gives examples and non-examples of what the behavior looks like)

B. a board-approved behavioral definition (Correct Answer)

C. objective

D. concise

Feedback:

An operational definition in ABA is clear, concise, complete, and objective. Examples and nonexamples help clarify what exactly the behavior looks like (topography). Operational definitions help

ensure everyone is tracking the same behavior. Example: Operational Definition of Nail Biting:

Bringing a finger to touch the lip or teeth. Removal of the finger from contact terminates one
