Sample Questions

Question 1

What type of measurement records whether a behavior occurred or did not occur during each interval of an observation session?

Answer: Interval recording. The session is divided into equal time intervals and the observer marks whether the behavior occurred during each interval.

Question 2

What is the key difference between whole-interval and partial-interval recording?

Answer: Whole-interval recording requires the behavior to occur throughout the entire interval to be marked; partial-interval recording marks the interval if the behavior occurs at any point during it.

Question 3

What type of data collection involves observing and recording whether a behavior is occurring at the exact moment a pre-set timer sounds?

Answer: Momentary time sampling. The observer only records behavior at the specific instant the interval ends, not throughout the interval.

Question 4

Which measurement method is most appropriate for recording discrete, countable behaviors that have a clear beginning and end?

Answer: Event recording (frequency or rate recording). It counts each individual occurrence of the target behavior.

Question 5

What measurement method would an RBT use to track how long a child engages in a tantrum from start to finish?

Answer: Duration recording. It measures the total amount of time a behavior occurs from its onset to its offset.
