  1. Which dimension of ABA requires that behavior be described in observable and measurable terms?

    Answer: Behavioral

    The behavioral dimension of ABA requires that the target of intervention be a measurable, observable behavior rather than a label or inferred internal state. This ensures objective data collection and clear communication among team members.

  2. A client consistently reaches for a cup when thirsty. This behavior is best described as:

    Answer: An operant behavior

    Operant behaviors are learned, voluntary actions that are influenced by their consequences. Reaching for a cup is shaped by the history of reinforcement (obtaining water) and is therefore operant in nature.

  3. What is the purpose of conducting a preference assessment before a session?

    Answer: To identify potential reinforcers

    Preference assessments help identify stimuli that the client currently finds motivating, which can then be used as reinforcers during skill acquisition and behavior reduction programs. Using preferred items increases the effectiveness of intervention.

  4. An RBT records how long a tantrum lasts from start to finish. This measurement method is called:

    Answer: Duration recording

    Duration recording measures the length of time a behavior occurs from its onset to its offset. It is the most appropriate method when the concern is how long a behavior lasts rather than how often it occurs.

  5. Which of the following best describes negative reinforcement?

    Answer: Removing an aversive stimulus to increase behavior

    Negative reinforcement involves the removal or avoidance of an aversive stimulus contingent on behavior, which increases the future frequency of that behavior. It is often confused with punishment but always strengthens behavior.

  6. Which ethical obligation requires an RBT to maintain client confidentiality?

    Answer: Confidentiality and privacy

    The BACB Ethics Code for Behavior Analysts and the RBT Ethics Code require that practitioners protect client confidentiality and privacy at all times. Disclosing identifying information without consent is an ethics violation.
