  1. A client engages in self-injurious behavior (SIB) multiple times within a single minute. Which measurement method would most accurately capture the intensity of this behavior?

    Answer: Severity rating scale

    A severity rating scale captures the intensity dimension of behavior, which frequency alone cannot adequately represent for high-rate SIB.

  2. When using whole interval recording, a behavior is scored as occurring only if it:

    Answer: Occurs throughout the entire interval

    Whole interval recording requires the behavior to be present for the entire duration of the interval to be counted as occurring.

  3. An RBT records 'start time' and 'stop time' for each tantrum episode. This is an example of which measurement procedure?

    Answer: Duration recording

    Duration recording measures how long a behavior lasts by recording start and stop times for each episode.

  4. A BCBA asks an RBT to measure how long it takes a client to begin a task after the instruction is delivered. Which measure should the RBT use?

    Answer: Latency

    Latency measures the time between the presentation of a stimulus (instruction) and the onset of a response.

  5. Which of the following scenarios reflects a problem with interobserver agreement (IOA) that an RBT should report to a supervisor?

    Answer: One observer records 10 instances and the other records 8 instances

    Discrepancies between observers (10 vs. 8 occurrences) indicate low IOA, which threatens data reliability and should be reported.

  6. An RBT collects data on whether a client is on-task every 5 minutes by glancing at the client at each 5-minute mark. This is an example of:

    Answer: Momentary time sampling

    Momentary time sampling involves observing whether the behavior is occurring at the exact moment the interval ends, not throughout the interval.

  7. If a client correctly completes 14 out of 20 discrete trial training (DTT) opportunities, what is the percentage correct?

    Answer: 70%

    14 ÷ 20 × 100 = 70%; percentage correct is calculated by dividing the number correct by total opportunities and multiplying by 100.
