Question 3

Why measure a behavior?

Answer 3

• Doesn’t rely on a verbal account
• examines the extent of the problem
• evaluates the effectiveness of intervention
• makes databased educational decisions
• can provide information for designing interventions
• reports effectiveness to funding bodies

Question 4

The number of times a behavior occurs is

Answer 4

Frequency

Question 5

Frequency overtime is

Two requests per minute

Answer 5

Rate

Question 6

The length of time a behavior last is

Answer 6

Duration

Ex. Screaming lasted 1 minute and 30 seconds

Question 7

The time between a stimulus and a response is

Answer 7

Latency

-how Long from when the bell rings until a student lines up, or an instruction is given until it happens

Question 8

The shape of behavior, what it looks like is

Answer 8

Topography

Question 9

Intensity of behavior is

Example – how loud or how hard

Answer 9

Force/Magnitude

Question 10

No opportunities to respond, just responses is

Answer 10

Free operant

Question 11

Opportunities, discrete trials is

Answer 11

Restricted Operant

Question 12

A ratio of behaviors out of the number of given opportunities multiplied by 100% is

Answer 12

Percentage

Question 13

The number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance. Basically how many trials does it take for a student to master a skill.

Answer 13

Trials – to – criterion

Question 14

Speed+Accuracy

Answer 14

Fluency

Question 15

Counting each instance of a target behavior is

Answer 15

Event recording

Question 16

If that behavior happens at all during the interval yes

Answer 16

Partial interval recording

Question 17

If the behavior happen for the entire interval is

Answer 17

Whole interval recording

Question 18

If the behavior occurs only at the end of the interval is

Answer 18

Momentary time sampling

Question 19

A disadvantage to partial interval recording

Answer 19

Overestimated actual behavior

Question 20

Records how long a behavior lasts is

Answer 20

Duration Recording

Question 21

Record the time between stimulus given and when the behavior occurs is

Answer 21

Latency Timing

Question 22

Recording how long a behavior lasts is

Answer 22

Duration Timing

Question 23

Used for long duration recording-more meaningful measure than event recording is

Answer 23

Interval Recording

Question 24

Underestimates the true occurrence of behavior is

Answer 24

Whole interval recording

Question 25

More accurate but harder to do

Answer 25

Shorter intervals

Question 26

An advantage of momentary time sampling he

Answer 26

The observer does not have to watch the Student the entire time and can spend the duration of each interval teaching

Question 27

What is the best time allotted for intervals in terms of accurately measuring actual behavior

Answer 27

Two minutes or under

Question 28

Collecting data based on what the behavior leaves behind is

Answer 28

Measurement by permanent product

Question 29

What are the downsides of permanent product

Answer 29

Consent and confidentiality when it comes to permanent product such as videos

Question 30

Run fast during lunch in case people try making tasers

Answer 30

Rate frequency duration latency into response time percentage trials-to-criterion magnitude topography
