Measurement Flashcards
What is conducted in a manner such that all instances of the response class of interest are detected during the observation period?
Measurement
What are the 3 types of measurement?
Repeatability, temporal locus, temporal extent
What unit of measurement can occur repeatedly through time?
Repeatability
How can repeatability be measured?
Frequency and rate
What is the number of times a behavior occurs in a specific time period?
Frequency
What unit of repeatability is the number of responses per unit of Time?
Rate
What unit of measurement occurs at a certain point in time with respect to other events of interest?
Temporal locus
What are the two units of measurement within temporal locus?
Response latency and inner response time (IRT)
What is the elapsed time between the onset of an antecedent event and the occurrence of the behavior?
Response latency
What is the amount of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response class or behavior?
Inner response time (IRT)
What unit of measurement occurs during some amount of time?
Temporal extent
What unit of measurement is used during temporal extent?
Duration
What is the amount of time from the onset to the end point of a response and is the basic measure of temporal extent?
Duration
What type of measurement involves observing and recording behavior during intervals or at specific moments in time?
Discontinuous measurement
What kind of measurement is measured by dividing the observation period into time intervals and then recording the presence or absence of behavior within or at the end of each interval?
Discontinuous measurement
What types of measurement are involved in discontinuous measurement?
Partial time recording, while interval recording, momentary time sampling
What part of discontinuous measurement records whether the behavior occurred at any time during the interval?
Partial interval recording
What part of discontinuous measurement is recorded at the end of each interval and records whether the target behavior occurred throughout the interval?
Whole interval recording
What part of discontinuous recording records whether the target behavior occurred at the moment the time interval ends. Mainly used for continuous activities. (Engagement with a task)
Momentary time sampling
