Q

Transitive CEO

A

Q

Reasons for selecting target behavior

A

Helps individuals achieve outcomes, behavior deficit makes the person too dependent on others, behavior is harmful, dangerous or illegal, behavior is controlled by meds or restraints, behavior excludes individual from social situations, behavior interferes with independent functioning

Q

Social validity

A

Q

Steps of preliminary assessment

A

Determine who has authority to give consent; determine whether or not you have the permission, skills, time, and resources to begin assessment; complete intake paperwork; review records and available data; meet client and begin observations; document

22
Q

Estimating IRT

A

When given the rate, provided that the variability is not too great, or that there are no outliers

23
Q

Percent occurrence

A

Similar to even recording of a restricted or discriminated operant which has been converted into a percent

24
Q

Trials to criterion

A

The number of consecutive opportunities to respond required to achieve performance standard.

25
Q

Discrete categorization

A

A method for classifying responses into discrete categories

26
Q

Partial interval recording

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if a response happens during any part of the interval

27
Q

Whole interval recording

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if the behavior occurs for the whole interval

28
Q

Momentary time sampling

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a response is recorded as occurring only if it occurs at the point in time in which an interval ends

29
Q

PLACHECK

A

A group of individuals is observed at the end of an interval. Count how many of individuals are engaging in the target behavior. Compare with the total number of individuals. Percent of individuals engaging in behavior

30
Q

Factors to consider when selecting a response measure

A

The dimensional quantity of interest. The estimated rate of the behavior. Whether to measure responses or episodes

31
Q

Permanent products

A

Measuring the results of behavior

32
Q

Reliability

A

The consistency of measurement

33
Q

Interobserver agreement

A

The coefficient of agreement between two or more independent observers. Usually calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of agreements by the total number of agreements plus disagreements, then multiplying by 100

34
Q

Uses for IOA

A

Competence of new observers, detecting observer drift, validate collection methods, increase confidence that interventions are responsible for behavior change

35
Q

IV integrity

A

The degree to which an intervention is implemented as described

36
Q

Mean count per interval

A

Total agreement in each interval divided by number of intervals

37
Q

Exact count per interval

A

Number of intervals with 100% agreement divided by number of intervals

38
Q

IOA should be at or above

A

80%

39
Q

Visual data analysis

A

Systematic form of data examination, characterized by visual inspection of graphical displays of those data

40
Q

Types of data display

A

Embedded in text, represented in summary form as a table, graphical form

41
Q

Graphic displays used in ABA

A

Equal interval line graph, cumulative records, bar graph, semilogarithmic graphs

42
Q

Abscissa

A

X or horizontal axis

43
Q

Ordinate

A

Y or vertical axis

44
Q

Phase changes

A

Major changes occur in the independent variable

45
Q

Condition change lines

A

Minor changes occur in the independent variable, usually temporary

46
Q

Visual analysis of the graph

A

Level, variability, trend, number of data points

47
Q

Level

A

The mean value of a set of data points

48
Q

Trend

A

The overall direction taken by the data path through a set of data points

49
Q

Variability

A

Extent to which measures of behavior under the same environmental conditions diverge from one another

50
Q

Median level

A

Outline data points skew the level line in a way that makes it not representative of the data set as a whole

51
Q

Trend lines

A

The direction and degree of trend in a series of graphically displayed data points can be visually represented with a straight line drawn through the data

52
Q

Best fit line

A

Bisect the data, with close to an equal number of data points above the line as below the line

53
Q

Split middle line of progress

A

A mathematical way to calculate trend
