๐ ๐ What is continuous measurement in ABA for the RBT exam?
Continuous measurement records every instance of a behavior during the observation period. The RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.) lists frequency, duration, latency, and interresponse time as examples.
โฑ๏ธ โฑ๏ธ What is the difference between latency and interresponse time (IRT)?
Latency is the time from an instruction or cue to the start of the response. Interresponse time is the time between the end of one response and the start of the next response.
๐ข ๐ข How do you calculate rate of behavior?
Divide the count of responses by the observation time. For example, 12 responses in a 30-minute session is a rate of 0.4 responses per minute, which lets you compare sessions of different lengths.
๐ ๐ What is partial interval recording?
The observation is divided into equal intervals, and an interval is scored if the behavior occurs at any point during it. Because one brief instance scores the whole interval, it tends to overestimate the behavior.
๐งฉ ๐งฉ What is whole interval recording?
An interval is scored only if the behavior occurs for the entire interval. It tends to underestimate the behavior and is often used for behaviors you want to increase, such as on-task behavior.
๐ธ ๐ธ What is momentary time sampling?
The observer records whether the behavior is happening at the exact moment each interval ends. It is a discontinuous method, so behavior that happens between those moments is not captured.
๐ ๐ What is permanent product recording?
You measure the lasting outcome of a behavior rather than watching it happen, such as completed worksheets or items put away. The observer does not need to be present while the behavior occurs.
โ โ How do you calculate percentage correct and mean duration?
Percentage correct is correct responses divided by total opportunities, times 100 (8 of 10 is 80%). Mean duration is the total duration of all occurrences divided by the number of occurrences.
๐ ๐ What does trend mean in graphed ABA data?
Trend is the overall direction of the data path: increasing, decreasing, or no clear change. RBTs enter data, update graphs, and identify trends so the supervisor can judge whether a program is working.
๐ฏ ๐ฏ How many RBT exam questions cover measurement?
Under the RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.), Data Collection and Graphing has 13 of the 75 scored questions, about 17%. The full exam has 85 questions, including 10 unscored, with a 90-minute time limit.
