Attention

13 / 20

Fixed ratio

Fixed interval

Variable ratio

Variable interval

NCR (Noncontingent Reinforcement)

17 / 20

Why are objective, measurable behavior definitions critical?

They simplify documentation for caregivers

They ensure consistency across observers and reduce bias

They prioritize caregiver preferences

They align with medical diagnoses

18 / 20

Response latency refers to ____________, while whole interval recording measures ____________.

Time between two behaviors / whether a behavior occurs continuously

Time between instruction and behavior / whether a behavior lasts the entire interval

Total time a behavior lasts / frequency of intervals with the behavior

Rate of behavior per hour / percentage of intervals with the behavior

19 / 20

A common challenge when recording duration data for a client’s tantrums is

Accurately timing start/end points while ensuring safety

Overestimating frequency due to short intervals

Difficulty distinguishing between topographies

Reliance on caregiver reports

20 / 20

During a session with client Thalia, you need to track how often she engages in hand-flapping during a 30-minute activity. However, you’re also required to assist her with tasks. Which interval recording method is most practical here?

Whole interval (record only if behavior occurs for the entire interval)

Partial interval (record if behavior occurs at any point in the interval)

Momentary time sampling (record only if behavior occurs at the end of the interval)

Duration per occurrence

Your score is

The average score is 35%
