C09 Select a Measurement System to Obtain Representative Data Given the Dimension of Behavior Part 2

Question 1

Which intermittent observation system is likely to over or under estimate as compared to the true rate of a behavior?

Answer 1

Momentary time sampling

Question 2

As compared to the true duration per occurrence of a behavior, a whole-interval system is more likely to yield

Answer 2

An underestimate

Question 3

Momentary time sampling is a better sampling method of data collection when measuring

Answer 3

Behaviors that are difficult to observe continuously

Question 4

Momentary time sampling is a better sampling method of data collection when measuring

Answer 4

Behaviors that occur at a moderate to high rate such that it is difficult to maintain constant observation for a sustained period of time.

Question 5

Partial interval recording would be the better sampling method for measuring behavior when the desired outcome of a behavior change plan is that

Answer 5

A toddler stops biting other children during playtime

Question 6

An intervention has been implemented in which a supervisor walks through the factory every quarter hour, records whether goggles are being worn, and provides rewards accordingly. The rate of eye injurious has not changed. What is likely the problem?

Answer 6

The observation intervals are equally spaced.

Question 7

Whole interval recording would be the more suitable method for measuring behavior when the desired outcome of a behavior change plan is that

Answer 7

All the above:
A long distance runner maintain a steady pace for longer distances.
A student remain engaged in learning activities for longer periods.
A music student spend more time practicing the piano.

Question 8

As compared to the true duration of a behavior, a partial interval system is more likely to yield

Answer 8

An estimate

Question 9

Which intermittent observation system is likely to over or under estimate as compared to the true duration of a behavior?

Answer 9

Momentary time sampling
