Question 1

Continuous measurement

Answer 1

Measures every instance of behavior during a class a session or day

Question 2

Frequency of a behavior

Answer 2

How often it happens

Question 3

Duration of a behavior

Answer 3

How long it lasts

Question 4

IRT means and is

Answer 4

Inter-response time

Measure of time that occurs between two consecutive instances of a response class

Question 5

Discontinuous measurement

Answer 5

Dividing an observation into intervals and recording whether a behavior occurred during some or all of each interval

Question 6

Momentary time sampling

Answer 6

Recorded at the exact time of observation

Question 7

Partial interval time sampling

Answer 7

Mark whether the behavior occurs anytime during the interval, (an interval is the segment of time you observe, did it happen or not) yes? Then mark, you don’t have to mark for each individual time just if it happened at least once

A student could engage in a behavior multiple times during an interval or once for an x

It can be a problem because if there is no occurrence in the interval it can look like it never happened, or since the x only records during that one interval it can look like it didn’t happen that often

Question 8

Whole interval time sampling

Answer 8

It yields data not only on if it occurred but how often within a certain scope of time, like five seconds or 10. You record an x if they do it in that five seconds, you record an o if they don’t. It doesn’t matter how many times it happens in that time or when in that time but it is recorded based on a number of sets of seconds

For example within 20 seconds you can record four sets of an occurrence with o or x, if it happens all four times you’ll see all x’s and so on

A problem with this though is that after those 20 seconds are up you aren’t paying as much attention so you may miss other instances

Question 9

Difference between partial and whole interval time sampling

Answer 9

• Whole-interval recording yields data on the total duration of the behavior.
• Partial-interval recording yields data on the proportion of the observations period that the behavior occurred.

Question 10

Momentary time sampling

Answer 10

Observes whether or not the behavior is occurring at the time the interval ends

All data is added up and divided by the total to get the percentage

Can over or underestimate data

Not good for low frequency short durations

Question 11

Chaining

Answer 11

Chaining is a type of intervention that aims to create associations between behaviors in a behavior chain

Question 12

Shaping

Answer 12

he use of reinforcement of successive approximations of a desired behavior. Specifically, when using a shaping technique, each approximate desired behavior that is demonstrated is reinforced, while behaviors that are not approximations of the desired behavior are not reinforced.

Question 13

Discrimination training

Answer 13

The child is then taught to select the shoe when the direction is placed to touch the shoe. As success shows, the child is then asked to select the shoe when next to a spoon and a toy, for example.Apr

Question 14

Stimulus control transfer

Answer 14

The prompt is not used any more the stimulus or sd gains control of the behavior exhibited by the learner

Question 15

DRO stands for

Answer 15

Differential reinforcement of other behaviors

Find any behavior to praise and give it freely while they are not engaging in a problem behavior

Question 16

DRA stands for

Answer 16

Differential reinforcement of alternative behavior

Reinforce a different behavior that is approximate to the one they are engaging in but is appropriate

Question 17

DRI

Answer 17

Differential reinforcement of incompatible behavior

Reinforce behavior that makes it impossible to engage in the problem behavior
