Area 10: Systems Support Flashcards
In order to secure support of others to maintain the clients’ behavioral repertoires in their natural settings one would best:
Share graphed data demonstrating client progress
When managing staff, performance training…
Usually is necessary to establish adequate staff performance but usually not sufficient to maintain performance.
How do you calculate Total Count IOA?
Smaller count / Larger count x 100 = total count IOA%
You score 9, but he scored 10:
9/10 x 100 = 90%
How do you calculate Mean Count-per-Interval IOA?
break the total observation period into a series of smaller counting times:
_Interval 1 IOA + Interval 2 IOA + Interval 3 IOA / _
Total number of Intervals
x100 = mean count-per-interval IOA %
How do you calculate exact count-per-interval IOA?
_Number of intervals of 100% IOA / _
Total number of Intervals
x100 = exact count-per-interval IOA %
How do you calculate trial-by-trial IOA?
Number of trials (items) agreement
Total number of trials (items)
x100 = trial-by-trial IOA %
To use effective performance monitoring and reinforcement systems you should: (5)
- Determine contingencies of reinforcement likely to strengthen and maintain performance.
- Monitor performance across all relevant contexts.
- Use competency-based proficiency checklists, data reliability checks, program schedule compliance tracking systems, etc.
- Use the same measurement system used to initially train and evaluate performance.
- Describe a system to compare individual staff performance with prior measures (e.g., graphs, etc).
Combining analytic tactics in an experimental design is a good idea when:
It allows for a more convincing demonstration of experimental effect
Experiments that demonstrate a clear functional relationship between the independent variable and the observed behavior are said to have a high degree of:
Internal validity
The degree to which a functional relationship can be demonstrated in circumstances that are different from the experimental conditions is called:
External validity
____ ____ refers to the degree to which a functional relation found reliable and socially valid in a given experiment will hold under different conditions.
External validity
A problem with using statistical methods occurs with borderline data sets that contain a lot of _____. Such a set may produce a statistically significant result but it should motivate additional experimentation to identify the sources of ____ and achieve a more consistent ___ ___.
A problem with using statistical methods occurs with borderline data sets that contain a lot of variability**. Such a set may produce a statistically significant result but it should motivate additional experimentation to identify the sources of **variability** and achieve a more consistent **experimental control.
Experiments that demonstrate a clear functional relation are said to have a high degree of____ ____.
Internal Validity
___ ___ refers to the degree to which a functional relation found reliable and socially valid in a given experiment holds under different conditions.
External Validity
In order to determine whether or not a functional relation can be said to exist, careful consideration must be given to the following factors: (3)
- The degree to which the researcher controlled potential confounds must be determined
- A careful examination of the measurement system and experimental design must be done
- A careful and complete visual analysis and interpretation of the data must be completed.
