Major measurement systems
Why measure a behavior?
- 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
The number of times a behavior occurs is
Frequency
Frequency overtime is
Two requests per minute
Rate
The length of time a behavior last is
Duration
Ex. Screaming lasted 1 minute and 30 seconds
The time between a stimulus and a response is
Latency
-how Long from when the bell rings until a student lines up, or an instruction is given until it happens
The shape of behavior, what it looks like is
Topography
Intensity of behavior is
Example – how loud or how hard
Force/Magnitude
No opportunities to respond, just responses is
Free operant
Opportunities, discrete trials is
Restricted Operant
A ratio of behaviors out of the number of given opportunities multiplied by 100% is
Percentage
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.
Trials – to – criterion
Speed+Accuracy
Fluency
Counting each instance of a target behavior is
Event recording
If that behavior happens at all during the interval yes
Partial interval recording
If the behavior happen for the entire interval is
Whole interval recording
If the behavior occurs only at the end of the interval is
Momentary time sampling
A disadvantage to partial interval recording
Overestimated actual behavior
Records how long a behavior lasts is
Duration Recording
Record the time between stimulus given and when the behavior occurs is
Latency Timing
Recording how long a behavior lasts is
Duration Timing
Used for long duration recording-more meaningful measure than event recording is
Interval Recording
Underestimates the true occurrence of behavior is
Whole interval recording
More accurate but harder to do
Shorter intervals
An advantage of momentary time sampling he
The observer does not have to watch the Student the entire time and can spend the duration of each interval teaching
What is the best time allotted for intervals in terms of accurately measuring actual behavior
Two minutes or under
Collecting data based on what the behavior leaves behind is
Measurement by permanent product
What are the downsides of permanent product
Consent and confidentiality when it comes to permanent product such as videos
Run fast during lunch in case people try making tasers
