What This RBT Behavior Reduction Quiz Tests

Most questions describe a short session moment and ask you to name the procedure. These are the clues you will see, and what each one is really asking about.

When the question describes…It is testing
Reinforcement is given when the problem behavior does not happen for a set timeDRODifferential reinforcement of other behavior
A new behavior is taught that gets the same result as the problem behaviorDRADifferential reinforcement of alternative behavior
The reinforced behavior cannot happen at the same time as the problem behaviorDRIDifferential reinforcement of incompatible behavior
Reinforcement is stopped for a behavior that used to be reinforcedExtinctionWithholding the reinforcer
The behavior gets worse for a short time right after that changeExtinction burstAn expected, temporary spike
Something is changed before the behavior to make it less likely, like having snacks readyAntecedent changeChanging the motivating operation
Triggers and consequences are found before any plan is writtenFBAFunctional behavior assessment
A situation becomes unsafe for the client or othersCrisis planFollow the written plan, safety first

Mixing these up? The Domain D study guide explains each procedure with session examples.

The key behind most answers

Spot the Function First

Several questions only make sense once you know why the behavior happens. Before you look at the answer choices, ask which of these four the behavior is getting.

AttentionThe behavior gets someone to look, talk or react
EscapeThe behavior makes a task or demand stop or pause
TangibleThe behavior gets an item or activity back, like the TV
AutomaticThe behavior feels good on its own, even when no one is around
One rule behind several questions

The RBT follows the written behavior plan and crisis plan from the supervisor. RBTs do not make up new consequences on the spot, and safety comes first.

FAQ

RBT Behavior Reduction Quiz FAQs

How many questions are in this RBT behavior reduction quiz?

There are 12 multiple-choice questions, each with 4 answer choices. They appear in a new order every time you start, and your score shows when you finish.

Do I need to know DRA, DRI and DRO for this quiz?

Yes. Several questions ask you to tell them apart. DRO rewards time without the problem behavior, DRA rewards a different behavior that gets the same result, and DRI rewards a behavior that cannot happen at the same time.

Are these the real RBT exam questions?

No. The BACB does not release live exam questions. Every question here is original and written to match the Domain D tasks in the RBT Test Content Outline (3rd ed.).

What score should I get before moving to Domain E?

Aim for 80% or higher. This is a study rule we use, not an official BACB number, because the BACB does not publish the RBT passing score.

How many Behavior Reduction questions are on the real RBT exam?

14 of the 75 scored questions, or about 19%. Only Behavior Acquisition has more. The exam also has 10 unscored pilot questions, and those can come from any domain.
