Chapter 4 Flashcards
1
Q
Dimensions of measurement
A
- distinct features that can be measured
1. Repeatability/ count ability
2. Temporal extent
3. Temporal locus
2
Q
Nonsystemic recording
A
- anecdotal
- yielding no quantification
3
Q
Systemic recording
A
- recording a specific behavior
- structures format
- quantification of behavior
4
Q
Repeatability/ count ability
A
- count
- rate/ frequency
5
Q
Temporal extent
A
Total duration
Duration of occurrence
6
Q
Count
A
Number of responses during an observation
7
Q
Rate
A
Behavior / time
8
Q
Locus
A
- Latency
- Inter-response time
- reported as mean, median, and range
9
Q
Inter-response time
A
Time between the end of one response and the start of another response
10
Q
Percentage
A
- most accurate with a divisor of 100 or more
- no dimensional quantity
- sets artificial limits on behavior
11
Q
Trials-to-criterion
A
How many times it takes to achieve a goal
12
Q
Topography
A
Physical form of a behavior
13
Q
Magnitude
A
-force or intensity
Example: volume or distance
14
Q
Event recording
A
Number of times behavior is observed
15
Q
Time sampling
A
Whole interval
Partial interval
Momentary time sampling
Planned activity check
