4
Q

Direct measurement

A

You observe the behavior and record behavior as it occurs

Is more accurate than indirect measurement

Two types of direct measurement is continuous and discontinuous

22
Q

Line graph

A

Allows for visual analysis

23
Q

Trend

A

The overall trajectory of a data path

24
Q

Variability

A

How often and to what extent the data changes

25
Q

Level

A

The position of the data set on the y-axis

26
Q

Label parts of a graph (scale, x-axis, y-axis, titles, legend, labels, data path, data points, title, phase of change, etc

A
27
Q

Cumulative record

A

Graph of a running total of responses

28
Q

Scatterplot

A

Identifies patterns between behavior and specific time of day

29
Q

Bar graph

A

Display and compare discrete sets of data

30
Q

Accuracy

A

Refers to the extent to which the observed value matches the true state

31
Q

Validity

A

Refers to whether the system measures what it purports to measure

32
Q

Reliability

A

Refers to the extent to which the system results in consistent outcomes across repeated measures and observers

33
Q

Behavior

A

Anything that can be seen or heard

Thoughts and feelings are not behavior

34
Q

Operational definition

A

Is objective, clear and complete

35
Q

Environment

A 
A person's general surroundings: 
Settings
Other people
Sensory input (sounds, smells, lights)
Biology/medical issues
Presentation of certain demands
Presence of certain activities
36
Q

Deadman’s test

A

If a Deadman can do it, its not a behavior

37
Q

Inter-Observer agreement (IOA)

A

The degree to which 2 or more independent observers report the same data after observing the same events

38
Q

5 steps to prepare for session/data collection

A 
Ready your materials
Know the skill to observe and record
Know what type of data to collect
Practice makes perfect
Set up for success
39
Q

Name two types of Direct Measurement

A

Continuous and discontinuous

40
Q

When collecting duration data, what do you note?

A

When the behavior starts and ends

41
Q

What is duration based on?

A

Temporal extent

42
Q

When should duration be used?

A

When the length of a behavior varies (example: tantrum timer)

43
Q

When is rate useful?

A

During free operant trials

44
Q

When should rate mot be used?

A

During DTT (Discrete trial training)

45
Q

When should response latency be used?

A

When the behavior of interest needs to begin within a specific amount of time

46
Q

What data is recorded during response latency?

A

When the target stimulus is presented and when the individual initiates the target response

47
Q

What are definitional measures?

A

Topography and magnitude

48
Q

What is topography?

A

Physical shape or form of behavior or what the behavior looks like

49
Q

What is magnitude?

A

Force/intensity of a behavior

50
Q

What is noted when documenting inter-response time?

A

When a behavior ends and the next occurrence of when it begins

51
Q

Advantages of permanent product recording

A

Tech can perform other tasks while the behavior onset is occurring
Allows recording of behavior the may otherwise be inaccessiblr/difficult to observe
low effort/easy type of date to collect

52
Q

What is the goal of permanent product recording?

A

Behavior decrease or Skill acqusition

53
Q

Considerations of permanent product recording

A

Product can only be created by target behavior, and each occurrence results in the same product

Ex: blocks placed correctly

Blue: #placed right: 1, #placed wrong: 0
Green: #placed right: 2, #placed wrong: 0
