RBT Assessment Practice Quiz: RBTs deliver behavior-analytic services under the supervision of a BCBA or BCaBA, following treatment plans created by the supervisor. Individuals pursuing certification as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), passing a competitive exam is indeed a necessary step. The exam typically assesses the knowledge of behavior analysis principles, ethical guidelines, and practical skills needed to work under the supervision of a BCBA (Board-Certified Behavior Analyst) or BCaBA (Board-Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst). The RBT exam ensures that candidates have the necessary skills and understanding to implement behavior-analytic services effectively. It usually includes topics like reinforcement, data collection, behavior reduction techniques, and ethical considerations in the field.

Question 1 of 12
1. Question
What is the primary purpose of a preference assessment?
Correct
Preference assessments help determine what stimuli (toys, activities, food, etc.) are motivating for a client, which can then be used as reinforcers during therapy. They do not determine the function of behavior (a), nor do they focus on teaching skills (c) or measuring behavior duration (d).

Correct Answer is 2

Question 2 of 12
2. Question
Which of the following is an example of an indirect assessment method?
Correct
Indirect assessments gather information without directly observing the behavior. Parent interviews, questionnaires, and surveys are common examples. ABC data collection (a) and direct observation (d) involve real-time tracking of behaviors, while functional analysis (c) systematically manipulates variables to understand behavior function.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 2

Question 3 of 12
3. Question
When conducting an ABC assessment, what does the “A” stand for?
Correct
ABC data collection helps identify behavior patterns. The “A” stands for Antecedent, which refers to what happens before the behavior occurs. “B” is for Behavior, and “C” is for Consequence (what happens after the behavior).

Question 4 of 12
4. Question
A therapist presents two items at a time and records which one the client chooses. What type of preference assessment is this?
Correct
In a Paired Stimulus (Forced Choice) assessment, the therapist presents two items at a time and tracks which one the client picks. This method helps rank preferences. MSWO (a) and MSW (d) involve multiple items at once, while Free Operant Observation (b) allows free interaction without direct prompting.

Question 5 of 12
5. Question
Which of the following is an example of a direct assessment method?
Correct
Direct assessment involves real-time observation and data collection. ABC data collection is a direct assessment method because it records behavior as it happens. Interviews (a), past records (b), and questionnaires (d) are indirect assessments.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 3

Question 6 of 12
6. Question
Which assessment method involves allowing the child to freely interact with different toys and noting which ones they engage with the most?
Correct
In a Free Operant Observation, the therapist observes which items the child naturally chooses during free play, without direct prompting. This helps identify highly preferred items for use as reinforcers.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 2
In a Free Operant Observation, the therapist observes which items the child naturally chooses during free play, without direct prompting. This helps identify highly preferred items for use as reinforcers. -
Question 7 of 12
7. Question
What is the main goal of a functional assessment?
Correct
A functional assessment aims to identify the function of a behavior (e.g., escape, attention, access to tangibles, sensory stimulation). This helps in designing behavior intervention plans (BIPs). Identifying reinforcers (c) and teaching new skills (b) are related but not the primary goal.

Question 8 of 12
8. Question
Which preference assessment method involves presenting multiple items simultaneously and allows the individual to choose one at a time, with the selected item being replaced before the next trial?
Correct
In the Multiple Stimulus With Replacement (MSW) method, multiple items are presented simultaneously, and after the individual selects an item, it is returned to the array for the next trial. This approach helps identify consistently preferred items.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 4

Question 9 of 12
9. Question
During a preference assessment, an RBT observes a client in a natural setting without interference, noting which items the client interacts with and the duration of each interaction. What type of assessment is this?
Correct
Free Operant Observation involves observing the client in their natural environment without interference, recording the items they engage with and for how long. This method identifies preferred items based on natural engagement.
Incorrect
Correct Answer is 2

Question 10 of 12
10. Question
An RBT conducts a preference assessment by presenting a client with one item at a time and recording the client’s reaction to each item. Which assessment method is being used?
Correct
In a Single Stimulus Assessment, items are presented one at a time, and the client’s reaction to each item is recorded. This method is suitable for individuals who may have difficulty choosing between multiple items.

Question 11 of 12
11. Question
What is the primary goal of conducting a functional behavior assessment (FBA)?
Correct
The main objective of a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) is to identify the antecedents (triggers) and consequences that maintain a behavior, helping to understand the function or purpose behind it.
