Frequency is:

• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• Assigning numbers to different prompt levels
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time that a behavior occurs - Correct Answer C

ABC Data

• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors"
• Is when target behaviors occur
• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time - Correct Answer A

Whole-Interval Time Sampling

• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors"
• The target behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs throughout the entire interval
• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior - Correct Answer B

Rate

• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval

• The number of times the behavior occurs
• Assigns numbers to different prompt levels
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time - Correct Answer D

Percent

• Count of Behavior/number of opportunities X 100
• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time that a behavior occurs - Correct Answer A

Scatterplot

• The length of time a behavior occurs
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• When the target behavior occurs
• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval - Correct Answer C Duration 2 / 3

• The ratio of number of times a behavior occurs per unit of time
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given"
• The number of times the behavior occurs
• The length of time a behavior occurs - Correct Answer D

Prompt Level

• When the target behavior occurs
• Assigning numbers to different prompt levels
• Count of Behavior/number of opportunities X 100
• "Records the antecedent, behavior and consequence of problem behaviors" - Correct

Answer B Partial Interval Time Sampling

• The behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs at least once at any point during the

interval

• The target behavior is recorded as a (+) if occurs throughout the entire interval
• The time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• The number of times a behavior occurs - Correct Answer A

Latency

• The length of time that a behavior occurs
• When the behavior occurs
• The length of time it takes to START a behavior after the instruction is given
• Count of behavior/number of opportunities X100 - Correct Answer C

Positive reinforcement is when you add a stimulus to the environment to increase the future frequency of that behavior.

A. TRUE

• FALSE - Correct Answer A

Low effort responses should receive the most powerful reinforcers.

A. TRUE

• FALSE - Correct Answer B

Positive reinforcement should be delivered:

• Immediately after the desired behavior
• at the end of the session
• After you record the data - Correct Answer A
• / 3
