1. A client completed a 10-trial block. They answered correctly on 8 trials. What is the percentage correct?
Explanation
Percentage = (correct/total) × 100. So 8/10 × 100 = 80%.
2. Looking at the scatterplot, at what time of day does the behavior occur most frequently?
Explanation
Correct: The data points (black squares) are visually clustered in the rows corresponding to 11:00 and 12:00.
3. Refer to the FCT vs. Extinction graph. Which intervention was more effective in reducing the problem behavior?
Explanation
Correct: The data path for FCT (circles) drops to near zero, while Extinction (squares) remains high.
4. How long must records be stored?
Explanation
Correct: 7 years is the standard requirement.
5. Based on the Scatterplot, what antecedent event might be correlated with the behavior?
Explanation
Correct: Since the behavior clusters around 11:00-12:00, it is likely related to events happening at that time (e.g., unstructured time, cafeteria noise).
6. RBTs must renew their certification:
Explanation
Correct: RBT certification is renewed every year.
7. When graphing, the Y-axis is the:
Explanation
Correct: Y-axis = Ordinate = Vertical (Up/Down).
8. Which is an unconditioned (primary) reinforcer?
Explanation
Correct: Juice (food/drink) is biologically reinforcing and does not need to be learned.
9. You provide reinforcement after an average of 3 correct responses. This is:
Explanation
Correct: VR (Variable Ratio) is based on an average number of responses.
10. If an RBT is arrested, they must report it to the BACB within:
Explanation
Correct: Legal/Health/Personal info changes must be reported within 30 days.
11. You say 'Say ball' and the client says 'ball.' This is an example of which verbal operant?
Explanation
An echoic is a verbal response that matches the verbal stimulus — the client repeats exactly what you said.
12. In the AB Design graph shown, what can be said about the data in the Intervention phase (Phase B) compared to Baseline (Phase A)?
Explanation
Correct: Phase A shows high frequency (15-20), while Phase B shows low frequency (0-5) and is very stable (flat line).
13. Feedback from a supervisor should be:
Explanation
Correct: Supervision is designed to shape professional skills.
14. You counted 24 correct responses during a 6-minute fluency drill. Your BCBA asks you to calculate the rate. What is it?
Explanation
Rate is calculated by dividing the count by the time: 24 responses ÷ 6 minutes = 4 per minute.
15. Your BCBA says 'Touch your nose' and you start a timer. The client touches their nose 8 seconds later. What did you just measure?
Explanation
Latency is the time from the presentation of a discriminative stimulus (the instruction) to the onset of the response.
16. You keep your client data sheets in:
Explanation
Correct: Records must be secured at all times.
17. Documentation must be:
Explanation
Correct: Fraudulent billing/documentation is a serious ethical and legal violation.
18. You count 15 instances of aggression in a 3-hour session. What is the Rate?
Explanation
Correct: 5 per hour. Rate = Frequency / Time. 15 / 3 = 5.
19. Which creates a permanent product?
Explanation
Correct: The completed worksheet is a tangible product of the behavior.
20. In an ABC recording, 'A' stands for:
Explanation
Correct: Antecedent. What happens immediately before the behavior.
21. An RBT can practice:
Explanation
Correct: Supervision is mandatory for the RBT credential to be active.
22. Objective session notes include:
Explanation
Correct: Focus on what you saw and heard, not what you think the client felt.
23. What percentage of your hours must be supervised by a BCBA/BCaBA to maintain your RBT credential?
Explanation
The BACB requires a minimum of 5% of the hours spent providing behavior-analytic services to be supervised.
24. If you suspect abuse or neglect, you must:
Explanation
Correct: RBTs are mandated reporters.
25. You should record data:
Explanation
Correct: Immediate recording ensures accuracy.
26. The RBT Ethics Code covers:
Explanation
Correct: It governs ethical and professional responsibilities.
27. A functional behavior assessment (FBA) determines:
Explanation
Correct: FBAs identify the function (cause/maintenance) of behavior.
28. According to ethical guidelines, for how long should client records be retained after services end?
Explanation
The standard retention period for client records is 7 years after services end (or longer if required by state law).
29. Confidentiality extends to:
Explanation
Correct: HIPAA covers all forms of PHI (Protected Health Information).
30. Which preference assessment involves presenting items one at a time and recording the reaction?
Explanation
Correct: Single Stimulus involves presenting one item at a time.
