Q

Partial Interval Recording

A

Observing whether a behavior occurs or does not occur during specified time periods

ex. in 10 second intervals, for a period of 10 minutes, did the client interact with the new toy?

Q

Momentary Time Sampling

A

Observing whether a behavior occurs at the very end of a specified interval of time

ex. in a 10 minute observation period, divided into 30 second intervals (20 total observation opportunities) did the Hulk engage in aggressive behavior?

Q

How to prep for data collection

A
  • read data from last session
  • prepare materials and programs for current session
  • determine what programs you plan to work on during the session
  • gather materials
  • set up the first set of programs so they are ready

Q

Permanent Product Recording Procedures

A

measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring tangible items or the effects a behavior has on the environment

17
Q

Why do we collect data?

A
  • to track client progress

- to engage in data based decision making

18
Q

Why do we need graphs?

A
  • to determine client progress

- to be included in regular written reports to our funding providers
