Prepare for Data Collection
What should an RBT review before starting a session to ensure they understand how to collect data?
What is the client’s program instructions and data collection procedures.
What measurement system counts how many times a behavior occurs?
What is Frequency?
Which method records whether a behavior occurred at any point during an interval?
What is Partial interval recording?
Data should be taken
What is as it happens?
Who should an RBT report important behavior changes to?
What is their Their supervisor (BCBA)?
What materials should an RBT check before the session begins to prepare for data collection?
What is a Data sheet, timer, counter, writing tools, or program materials?
If a behavior stops than occurs again after 15 minutes of it ending, 15 minutes is the?
What is IRT?
Which method records if a behavior lasted for the entire interval?
What is Whole interval recording?
The most common type of graph in ABA
What is a line graph?
What should an RBT do if a client displays new challenging behavior during session?
What is ABC data?
Why is it important to review operational definitions before collecting data?
What is ensuring the behavior is measured consistently and accurately?
What type of measurement records how long a behavior lasts?
What is Duration?
Which method checks if behavior is occurring at the exact moment an interval ends?
What is Momentary time sampling?
What part of a graph typically shows time or sessions?
What is the horizontal (x) axis?
Why is accurate documentation important in ABA therapy?
What is having integrity and session fidelity?
What measurement procedure involves recording latency, duration, frequency, and IRT?
What is Continuous Measurement ?
What measurement records the time between an instruction (SD) and when the behavior begins?
What is latency?
If a teacher looks up every 3 minutes during an exam to observe if cheating is occurring, but the cheating only occurs while she isn't looking, do you record yes or no if the behavior was present while measuring MTS?
What is No?
What part of a graph usually shows the amount or rate of behavior?
What is the vertical (y) axis?
If a caregiver asks the RBT about changing the program, what should the RBT do?
What is refer to BCBA?
An RBT begins collecting data but later realizes the measurement method does not match the program instructions. What is the best next step?
What is contact your BCBA?
Frequency with a time component?
What is Rate?
If a client screams at the start of an interval but stops before the interval ends, and data would be taken as an occurrence, which discontinuous method is being measured?
What is Partial Interval?
Why is graphing data important for behavior analysis?
What is It allows supervisors to visually analyze trends, level changes, and variability?
An RBT notices a sudden drop in skill performance across multiple sessions. What is the most appropriate action?
What is document the data accurately and immediately report observations to the supervisor?
