RBT Exam Practice Measurement Quiz

Test your knowledge with 12 questions covering frequency, duration, latency, inter-response time (IRT), and interval recording methods to prepare for the RBT exam.

Question 1 of 12

You observe a client engaging in a target behavior 8 times during a 2-hour session. What is the frequency of the behavior?

a) 8 times b) 4 times per hour c) 16 times d) 2 times per hour

Question 2 of 12

A client takes 45 seconds to begin tying their shoes after the instruction is given. What measurement are you recording?

a) Frequency b) Duration c) Latency d) Inter-response time

Question 3 of 12

During a 30-minute session, a client engages in hand-flapping for a total of 6 minutes. What is the duration percentage of this behavior?

a) 20% b) 30% c) 15% d) 25%

Question 4 of 12

You are using partial interval recording with 10-second intervals. If a behavior occurs at any point during the interval, you mark it. This is best suited for:

a) Behaviors with clear start and end points b) High-frequency behaviors c) Low-frequency behaviors d) Continuous behaviors

Question 5 of 12

The time between the end of one instance of a behavior and the start of the next instance is called:

a) Latency b) Inter-response time c) Duration d) Frequency

Question 6 of 12

You observe a client completing 5 math problems in 10 minutes. What is the rate of this behavior?

a) 0.5 problems per minute b) 2 problems per minute c) 5 problems per minute d) 10 problems per minute

Question 7 of 12

Which measurement procedure involves checking if a behavior is occurring at the exact moment an interval ends?

a) Whole interval recording b) Partial interval recording c) Momentary time sampling d) Permanent product recording

Question 8 of 12

A client vocalizes 3 times, with 2 minutes between the first and second vocalization, and 3 minutes between the second and third. What is the average IRT?

a) 2.5 minutes b) 3 minutes c) 5 minutes d) 1.5 minutes

Question 9 of 12

Permanent product recording is most appropriate for measuring:

a) The time it takes to start a behavior b) The number of times a behavior occurs c) The outcome of a behavior d) The duration of a behavior

Question 10 of 12

In whole interval recording, you mark an interval if:

a) The behavior occurs at any point during the interval b) The behavior occurs for the entire interval c) The behavior occurs at the end of the interval d) The behavior does not occur at all

Question 11 of 12

You record a behavior every time it occurs during a session. This is an example of:

a) Discontinuous measurement b) Continuous measurement c) Momentary time sampling d) Partial interval recording

Question 12 of 12

A client takes 15 seconds to respond to an instruction to sit down, and the behavior lasts 10 minutes. What is the latency?

a) 10 minutes b) 15 seconds c) 10 minutes 15 seconds d) 25 seconds
