5- IOA

Question 1

Accuracy

Answer 1

observed = true

Does the observed values match the true value?

Question 2

Believability

Answer 2

IOA #trustandbelieve

The extent to which the data is trustworthy and reliable, such as IOA data.

Question 3

Calibration

Answer 3

Comparison of the data with the true value or a known standard value, and using this information to correct the measurement system used.

Question 4

Continuous Measurement

Answer 4

Count, Duration, Rate, latency, IRT

Measurement of data that gives you every single instance of that behavior.

Question 5

Direct Measurement

Answer 5

The observer is physically looking at the behavior.

Question 6

Discontinuous Measurement

Answer 6

MTS, Partial Interval Recording, Whole Interval Recording.

Measurement of data at a moment in time.

Question 7

Exact Count Per Interval IOA

Answer 7

Type of IOA where we count the intervals that are in agreement and divide by total number of intervals. Strictest IOA.

Question 8

Indirect Measurement

Answer 8

Parent interviews, checklists,

Measurement where the observer is not physically looking at the behavior.

Question 9

IOA

Answer 9

Two or more observers collect data on a behavior to confirm that their observations are the same/ congruent.

Question 10

Interval by interval IOA

Answer 10

Type of IOA where we count the number of trials in agreement, and then divide by the total number of trials.

Question 11

Mean count per interval IOA

Answer 11

Type of IOA where we take the mean of each interval, and divide by the total number of intervals.

Question 12

Mean duration per occurrence IOA

Answer 12

Most Precise type of IOA, where we find the mean for each trial and then divide it by the total number of trials.

Question 13

Measurement bias

Answer 13

An effect on the data due to the environment and the observer.

Question 14

Naive observer

Answer 14

Observer who is unaware of the purpose or conditions of a study, so that they are less likely to be influenced by expectations.

Question 15

Observed value

Answer 15

The Data

A measure produced by observation and a measurement system.

Question 16

Observer drift

Answer 16

An unintended change with the way an observer uses a measurement system that causes a measurement error.

Question 17

Observer reactivity

Answer 17

Observer’s awareness that the data is being evaluated, which causes a change in that data.

Question 18

Reliability

Answer 18

Does the observed value remain the same if observation is repeated.

Question 19

Scored interval IOA

Answer 19

Type of IOA, where we count when both observers record an occurrence, and divide by the total number of trials. Behaviors that occur 30% or less.

Question 20

Total count IOA

Answer 20

Type of IOA where we divide the smaller number by the larger number, and multiply by 100. Simplest measurement of IOA.

Question 21

Total duration IOA

Answer 21

overestimates

Type of IOA where we divide the smaller duration by the larger duration and multiply by 100.

Question 22

Trial by trial IOA

Answer 22

Type of IOA where we look at data that references (yes or no, 1 or 0, etc.), and we count the trials where 2 or more observers agree , and divide it by the total number of trials.

Question 23

True value

Answer 23

A measure that is accepted as the standard or true quantitative description, of some dimensional quantity.

Question 24

Unscored interval IOA

Answer 24

Type of IOA, where we count when both observers DO NOT record an occurrence, and divide by the total number of trials. Behaviors that occur 70% or more.

Question 25

Validity

Answer 25

Measures what is intended to measure and is socially valid.
