C02 Distinguish Among Direct, Indirect, & Product Measures of Behavior Flashcards
A permanent product measure may be used when
Each occurrence of the target behavior produces the same result
Behavior of a student may be measured directly or measured indirectly by
Measuring permanent products of the behavior
Direct measures of behavior
Target behaviors that are the same as the focus of the behavior change program
Which exemplifies a frequency measure?
The number of instances of SIB during a class period
Indirect measures of behavior
All the above:
Are best used when the investigator does not have access to the specific behavior of interest.
Target behaviors that are different from the behavior of interest.
Must reflect or infer a dimension of the behavior of interest.
Frequency is
All the above:
The number of occurrences of a behavior.
The same as count.
Determined using event recording
Inter-response time is the
Time between the cessation of one response and the onset of another
A man has signed up for a wellness program that…. if the behavior of interest is
Program adherence, weight is an indirect measure
Rate is
The number of responses per unit of time
Latency is the
Time between the onset of a stimulus and the initiation of a response
Another term for frequency is
Count
Duration is
The time between the onset and cessation of a response
Frequency is
The number of occurrences of a behavior
Indirect measures of behavior
Must reflect or infer a dimension of the behavior of interest
A permanent product measure may be used when
Only the target behavior can result in the measured product
