A. Measurement Flashcards
what is data collection
occurence or non-occurence of behavior is recorded
What is continupus measurement
taking data throughout entire session
when should continuous measurement be used
when behavior has beginning and end
doesn’t occur at high frequency or periods of time
what are the 5 methods of data collection
frequency, rate, inter-response time, duration, latency
what is frequency
each occurence of behavior is collected
what is rate
the frequency divided by the rate of time
what is inter-response time (IRT)
the time between two successful occurrences
what is duration
the time the entire behavior takes
what is latency
the time it takes from instruction to reaction
what is discontinuous measurement
taking data at specific points of time
when should you use discontinuous measurement
behavior doesn’t have beginning or end
occurs at high rates or long duration
what are the 3 forms of discontinous measurement
partial interval recording, whole interval recording, momentary time sampling
what is partial interval recording
taking data at the first occurrence of behavior in the interval
when is partial interval recording used
when behavior is being reduced
what is whole interval recording
taking data if behavior is happening for entire interval
