1. A problem-solving process used to identify the characteristics of
the behavior through observation.
2. A process that suggests ways to modify the behavior through the
alteration of the antecedent or the consequences.
3. Implements strategies aimed at reducing or eliminating inappropriate
behaviors.
4. A functional behavioral assessment is conducted when
5. The behavioral characteristic in which the teacher measures how
often the behavior occurs in a specific period of time is
6. Jeannie gets out of her seat 5 times without permission in a thirty–
three minute observation session. What is the rate of behavior?
7. This behavioral characteristic refers to how much force is used when
the student exhibits the behavior.
8. The length of time the student displays a behavior is the
9. The amount of time between an environmental event and the behavior
is
10. Which recording method is used to record the frequency of
behaviors?
11. Which recording method divides the observation period into equal
time intervals that measures the behavior as occurring or not occurring
during specified time intervals?
12. In which interval-based recording method do students display the
target behavior during the entire interval for the event to be
recorded?
13. The target behavior is recorded when it occurs at any time during
the interval in this interval-based recording method.
14. In which interval-based recording method is the status of the
behavior at the end of the interval is recorded?
15. Which recording method measures the duration or latency of a
behavior?
16. Mrs. Beasley wanted to know how much time Michael talks when he
should be working on his class worksheet. Mrs. Beasley recorded four
separate duration events of 5 minutes, 7 minutes, 5 minutes, and 6
minutes in the same observation period. What is the average duration of
Michael’s behavior?
17. Which recording method is based on the results of the behavior, and
offers an easier form of measurement?
18. Mrs. Clarke reported that Jakob got out of his seat seven times
during a 30-minute observation period, and Mr. Poteet reported five
incidents. What is the interrater reliability?
19. The most common visual format for displaying academic or behavioral
data.
20. The frequency count of the target behavior for each session is
added to the data plotted from the previous session in this graph.
21. The primary purpose of a behavior and classroom management program
is to maintain a safe and secure environment in which learning can take
place.
22. Schools are required to conduct a functional behavioral assessment
when referring students for special education services.
23. Event-based recording methods are used to record the duration of a
student’s behavior
24. Interval-based recording does not use the frequency count of the
behavior; rather, it measures the behavior as occurring or not
occurring during specified time intervals.
25. Data obtained from event-based, interval-based, time-based, and
permanent products recording methods can easily be depicted in graph
form.
26. Briefly describe the differences between functional behavioral
assessment, functional behavior analysis, and behavior intervention
plans.
Correct Answer:

behavior are taken in consideration when conducting a functional
behavioral assessment?
Correct Answer:
28. Briefly describe the three barriers to using functional behavioral
assessments.
Correct Answer:
29. Describe the characteristics of the target behavior.
30. Mrs. Mullet reported that Keri talked without permission eight
times during group discussions, and Mr. Martin reported six incidents.
The interrater reliability was 75%. Is this an acceptable interrater
reliability and why?
Correct Answer:
