RBT Practice Exam 2

1. A picture used to cue a response is called a:

2. Chaining links:

3. An RBT tracks how long a student remains on-task by starting a timer at the onset and stopping at task completion. Why is duration recording more suitable than interval sampling in this case?

4. If unsure about any procedure, the RBT should:

5. A visual cue is NOT:

6. Which prompt hierarchy is correct?

7. Which tool is best for measuring latency during an RBT session?

8. Forward chaining is best described as:

9. Maintenance refers to:

10. Stimulus control transfer is when the learner transitions from SD to:

11. During a 20-minute session, Carlos’s RBT records each instance of vocal stereotypy using a clicker. After 20 instances, she calculates “1 occurrence per minute.” What type of measurement did she use, and why is it ideal for this behavior?

12. Discrimination training teaches the learner to:

13. An indirect assessment includes interviews and questionnaires and is best used to:

14. Accepting an expensive gift from a client without disclosure is:

15. Respecting client dignity includes:

16. Errorless teaching ensures minimal errors by:

17. When the function of behavior is escape, the appropriate extinction strategy is:

18. Stimulus fading gradually transfers:

19. Which of the following is NOT a discontinuous measurement procedure?

20. Maria measured the delay between the instruction “sit down” and the student’s actual sitting. This is an example of:

21. When is permanent product recording most appropriate?

22. Which scenario would whole-interval recording likely underestimate behavior?

23. If unsure, the RBT should:

24. Which is a variable interval schedule example?

25. Why is interobserver agreement (IOA) critical in behavior measurement?

26. Which schedule provides reinforcement after each correct response?

27. Backward chaining teaches:

28. An RBT modeling each step of a task while the learner watches is using which strategy?

29. If you notice new behavior not in the BIP, you should:

30. Which type of assessment is appropriate for evaluating the presence of side bias?

31. When conducting an FBA, the RBT’s role is to:

32. Objective data means:

33. Breaking a complex skill into teachable steps is called:

34. In most-to-least prompting, the RBT starts with:

35. Which functional assessment method involves observing behavior in its natural environment without intervention?

36. Backward chaining is helpful because:

37. In DTT, a trial includes which sequence?

38. Scope of practice defines:

39. Response generalization occurs when:

40. A free-operant preference assessment is most useful for:

41. Which scenario demonstrates generalization?

42. The RBT divides an hour into six 10‑minute blocks and records if the target behavior occurred at any point during each block. What method is this, and what’s a known downside?

43. If you record behavior occurrence only at specific moments rather than continuously, you’re using:

44. Which is NOT a function of behavior?

45. Which recording method most likely led to underreporting when an observer only marked engagement if the behavior occurred for the entire interval?

46. DRA focuses on:

47. Which procedure involves reinforcing closer approximations to the target behavior?

48. An RBT uses forced-choice preference assessment by presenting two toys simultaneously and removing the chosen toy in subsequent rounds. This method is effective because:

49. When measuring IRT, the RBT is observing the time:

50. A token that can be exchanged for various items is called a:
