Question 1

Which of the following is an example of a continuous measurement method?

Accepted Answer

Frequency counting

Answer

Continuous measurement methods record every occurrence of behavior within the observation period. Frequency counting records each instance of a discrete behavior, providing a true count. Interval and time sampling methods are discontinuous estimates of behavior.

Question 2

A "phase" on a behavior graph refers to:

Accepted Answer

A period during which conditions remain constant

Answer

A phase represents a period of time during which the environmental or treatment conditions remain unchanged. Phase change lines mark transitions between conditions, allowing visual comparison of behavior levels and trends across different intervention conditions.

Question 3

Social validity assessments are conducted to determine:

Accepted Answer

Whether the treatment goals, procedures, and outcomes are acceptable and meaningful to clients and stakeholders

Answer

Social validity evaluates whether the treatment goals are important to the client, whether the procedures are acceptable, and whether the outcomes make a meaningful difference in the client's life. It is one of the seven dimensions of ABA (the "applied" dimension).

Question 4

Which of the following is required when a mandated reporter (RBT) suspects child abuse or neglect?

Accepted Answer

Report the suspicion to the appropriate authorities as required by law

Answer

RBTs, like other professionals working with children, are mandated reporters in most jurisdictions. They are legally required to report reasonable suspicions of abuse or neglect to child protective services regardless of any perceived organizational hierarchy.

Question 5

When transferring client records electronically, an RBT must:

Accepted Answer

Follow HIPAA-compliant secure data transfer procedures approved by the organization

HIPAA regulations require that protected health information (PHI) be transferred using secure, encrypted methods. Using unsecured personal email or unauthorized platforms for client records is a HIPAA violation that can result in significant penalties.
