BEHV 102 Week 2 Flashcards
Artifact
Result appears only because of measurement error
Celeration
Change in rate over time
Count
Responses during an observation period
Discrete Trial
Discrete response occurs when opportunity exists
Duration
Amount of time behavior occurs
Event Recording
Number of times the behavior is observed
Free-Operant
Operant behavior that can be emitted at nearly any time
Interresponse Time (IRT)
Elapsed time between two successive responses
Magnitude
Force or intensity
Measurement
Applying quantitative labels to observed events
Measurement by Permanent Product
Measuring effect of behavior on the enviroment
Momentary Time-Sampling
Behavior is recorded at precise specific time intervals
Partial-Interval Recording
Behavior occurred during any part of the interval
Percentage
Presents a proportional quantity per 100
Planned Activity Check (PLACHECK)
Momentary time-sampling variation; records behavior of group behavior
