The roles and responsibilities of the RBT include which of the following? All of the above (deliver discrete trial instruction and incidental teaching, record data, and implement behavior interventions plans as written as a BCBA) True/False: An RBT can practice independently of a BCBA False Rate is... the total count per a unit of time Duration is... the time from when the behavior begins to when it ends. Latency is... the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the occurrence of a behavior Which of the following is a continuous recording method? All of the above (duration, rate/frequency, and latency) calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred 120 times over a 2 hour observation 60 per hour, 1 per minute partial-interval recording is... When the behavior must occur at least once during the interval to be recorded Whole-interval recording is.... when the behavior must occur for the entire interval to be recorded. Momentary time sampling is.... when the behavior must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded. Inter-response time is... The time between the end of one instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of behavior. which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to increase? whole-interval recording Which recording method would you expect to use when a target behavior is set to decrease? Partial-interval recording true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to under-estimate the frequency of a target behavior while whole interval recording has the tendency to over-estimate the frequency of the target behavior? False Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that can be used to collect data using permanent product recording procedures. Number of broken windows and folded shirts True/False: permanent product recording is one of the lease cumbersome data recording methods True Choose the best operational definition for a tantrum Any instance of the client crying and hitting himself in the head with a closed fist which makes a sound that can be heard within five feet.

Define behavior: The activity of living organisms; human behavior includes everything that people do. define environment: the conglomerate of real circumstances in which the organism or references part of the organism exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment. List the four functions of behavior: Social positive (attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive (sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation) A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. When he gets out of his seat his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does not follow through with her demand. This client's out of seat behavior most likely serves what function? Social negative (escape) A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work times, when he is on a break, when he is playing with his favorite toys, during meal times, when you or someone else is directly engaged with him, and even when he is by himself. One day mom brings the client back from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled. After this dentist appointment the spitting stopped. What function does spitting most likely serve? Automatic negative (pain attenuation)
