BEHV 103 Weeks 1 & 2

Question 1

Accuracy

Answer 1

Recorded value matches the true value

Question 2

Believability

Answer 2

Data good enough to trust (IOA)

Question 3

Calibration

Answer 3

Improving measurement systems

Question 4

Continuous Measurement

Answer 4

Method allows all occurrences of behavior to be detected

Question 5

Direct Measurement

Answer 5

Behavior measured is the same as the target behavior

Question 6

Discontinuous Measurement

Answer 6

Method allows only SOME instances of behavior to be detected

Question 7

Exact Count-Per-Interval IOA

Answer 7

% total intervals observers agreed;
Is the most rigorous for event recording

Question 8

Indirect Measurement

Answer 8

Behavior measured is different than the target behavior

Question 9

Interobserver Agreement (IOA)

Answer 9

The degree to which two observers agree on what was observed

Question 10

Interval-By-Interval IOA

Answer 10

Agreement between observers for time sampling or interval recording methods

Question 11

Mean Count-Per-Interval IOA

Answer 11

% agreement between counts in intervals

Question 12

Mean Duration-Per-Occurrence IOA

Answer 12

Agreement for duration per occurrence data

Question 13

Measurement Bias

Answer 13

Nonrandom measurement error

Question 14

Naïve Observer

Answer 14

Observer unaware of the study’s purpose or conditions in place

Question 15

Observed Value

Answer 15

What was observed

Question 16

Observer Drift

Answer 16

Unintended change in way observer collects data

Question 17

Observer Reactivity

Answer 17

Influence on data reported by observer because they are aware others will evaluate that data

Question 18

Reliability

Answer 18

Consistency or repeatability of measurement

Question 19

Scored-Interval IOA

Answer 19

IOA based on only intervals where either observer scored behavior

Question 20

Total Count IOA

Answer 20

Simplest indicator of IOA for event recording

Question 21

Total Duration IOA

Answer 21

IOA for total duration measurement

Question 22

Trial-By-Trial IOA

Answer 22

IOA for discrete trials or item-by-item measurement

Question 23

True Value

Answer 23

What actually happened

Question 24

Unscored-Interval IOA

Answer 24

IOA based on only on intervals where either observer did NOT score the behavior

Question 25

Validity

Answer 25

Data is directly related to the target behavior
