Chapter 4- Measuring Behavior

Question 0

A simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior

Answer 0

Count

Question 1

A measure of how rates of response change over time

Answer 1

Celeration

Question 2

Response rates of behaviors occurring within a controlled opportunity to emit the response

Answer 2

Discrete trial

Question 3

The amount of time that a behavior occurs

Answer 3

Duration

Question 4

Behaviors that have discrete beginning and ending points, require minimal displacement of the organism in time and space,McCain be emitted at nearly any time, do not require much time for completion, and can be emitted over a wide range of response rates

Answer 4

Free operant

Question 5

The number of times a specific behavior occurs in some period of time

Answer 5

Frequency

Question 6

The number of behaviors occurring in a unit of time, usually expressed as responses per minute or responses per hour

Answer 6

Rate

Question 7

Instances of a response class can occur repeatedly through time

Answer 7

Repeatability

Question 8

Every instance of behavior that occurs during some amount of time

Answer 8

Temporal extent

Question 9

Every instance of behavior occurs at a certain point in time with respect to other events

Answer 9

Temporal locus

Question 10

When observers tally or count behaviors as they occur

Answer 10

Event

Question 11

The amount of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response class

Answer 11

IRT-interresponse time

Question 12

The strength, force, or intensity of each instance of the target behavior

Answer 12

Magnitude

Question 13

Measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring the effects of that behavior produced on the environment

Answer 13

Permanent product

Question 14

When observers record whether the behavior occurred at any time during the interval

Answer 14

Partial-interval

Question 15

A ratio that expresses the amount of a behavior as a certain number of responses per every 100 responses

Answer 15

Percentage

Question 16

Uses head counts to measure “group behavior”

Answer 16

PLACHECK- planned activity check

Question 17

The point in time when a response occurs with respect to the occurrence of an antecedent stimulus

Answer 17

Response latency

Question 18

Refers to a variety of methods for observing and recording behavior during intervals or at specific moments in time

Answer 18

Time sampling

Question 19

The form or shape of the behavior

Answer 19

Topography

Question 20

The number of times response opportunities are presented before an individual achieves a purée stablished level of accuracy or proficiency

Answer 20

Trials-to-criterion

Question 21

When observers record whether the behavior was present throughout the entire interval

Answer 21

Whole-interval
