  1. Which of the following best describes the purpose of graphing behavioral data in ABA?

    Answer: To visually display data for ongoing decision-making about treatment

    Graphs provide a visual display of behavior over time, allowing supervisors and RBTs to make informed, data-based treatment decisions.

  2. An RBT is instructed to collect data using a permanent product recording method. Which of the following would be an appropriate target for this approach?

    Answer: Number of worksheets completed correctly

    Permanent product recording involves measuring tangible outputs (e.g., completed worksheets) that remain after the behavior has occurred.

  3. During a session, a client's problem behavior occurs 0 times. The RBT should:

    Answer: Record zero occurrences on the data sheet

    Zero occurrences are meaningful data points that must be recorded, as they reflect a genuine absence of the target behavior.

  4. A supervisor reviews an RBT's data and notices the graph shows a clear upward trend in problem behavior over two weeks. What does this trend suggest?

    Answer: The behavior is increasing and the current intervention may need adjustment

    An upward trend in problem behavior over time indicates the intervention is not working as intended and a program modification may be needed.

  5. Which of the following is an example of a continuous measurement procedure?

    Answer: Frequency count of every instance of a behavior across the full session

    Continuous measurement (e.g., frequency counting every instance) captures all occurrences of a behavior throughout the entire observation period.

  6. An RBT is unsure whether she is implementing data collection procedures correctly. What is the most appropriate action?

    Answer: Consult the BCBA supervisor for clarification and additional training

    RBTs must seek guidance from their BCBA supervisor when uncertain about procedures to ensure data integrity and treatment fidelity.

  7. Inter-response time (IRT) measures the:

    Answer: Time between the end of one response and the beginning of the next

    IRT is the elapsed time between the end of one response instance and the start of the next, reflecting how frequently behaviors are 'spaced.'
