Question 1

What type of data collection records whether a behavior occurred at least once during a specified time interval?

Accepted Answer

Partial interval recording captures whether the target behavior occurred at any point during each interval, regardless of how many times it happened.

Question 2

What type of data collection records whether a behavior is occurring at the exact moment the interval ends?

Accepted Answer

Momentary time sampling records behavior only at the precise end of each interval, making it useful for behaviors that occur at high rates or for long durations.

Question 3

What measurement system is used when an RBT records the total number of times a behavior occurs during an observation period?

Accepted Answer

Frequency (or event) recording counts the number of discrete occurrences of a behavior within an observation period.

Question 4

An RBT records the amount of time that passes from the onset of a stimulus to the beginning of the client's response. What measurement type is this?

Accepted Answer

Latency recording measures the time elapsed between the presentation of a stimulus or instruction and the initiation of the target behavior.

Question 5

What is the key difference between duration recording and latency recording?

Accepted Answer

Duration recording measures how long a behavior lasts from start to finish, while latency recording measures the time between the prompt or stimulus and when the behavior begins.
