RBT RBT Measurement and Data Collection 5

Question 1

When graphing behavioral data, an RBT draws a vertical dashed line on the graph. This line most likely represents:

Accepted Answer

A phase change or condition change

Answer

A vertical dashed line on a behavior graph indicates a phase change, such as moving from baseline to intervention.

Question 2

An RBT is instructed to collect data using a 10-second partial interval system during a 5-minute session. How many total intervals will be recorded?

Accepted Answer

30

Answer

5 minutes = 300 seconds ÷ 10 seconds per interval = 30 total intervals.

Question 3

Which measurement dimension is MOST useful when the goal is to reduce the amount of time a client engages in stereotypic rocking?

Accepted Answer

Duration

Answer

Duration recording measures how long a behavior lasts, making it the most appropriate dimension when the goal is to reduce the total time spent engaging in a behavior.

Question 4

Two RBTs independently observe the same session and record frequency data for aggression. RBT A records 10 instances and RBT B records 8. What is the IOA percentage?

Accepted Answer

80%

Answer

For frequency IOA, divide the smaller count by the larger count: 8/10 × 100 = 80%.

Question 5

A client's behavior data shows a decreasing trend over several sessions during intervention. This pattern suggests the intervention:

Accepted Answer

May be effectively reducing the target behavior

Answer

A decreasing data trend during intervention for a behavior targeted for reduction suggests the treatment is having a positive effect.
