Q

Amount of time taken up by R

A

Duration

18
Q

Force of R

EX. How loud child is yelling

A

Magnitude/ intensity

19
Q

Amount of time elapsed b/w event and R

EX. How long it takes you to hit brake when light turns red

A

Latency

20
Q

Time elapsed b/w two Rs of same type

EX. Laughing at joke first time it’s told and not laughing when it’s told again within 10 mins.

A

Interresponse time (IRT)

21
Q

Recording continuously; no gaps in record of behavior

EX. Count, frequency, rate (event recording)
Duration, latency, IRT (duration recording)

A

Continuous

22
Q

Interval recording; sampling, recording only subset of R;
Divide session into equal intervals, record occurrences of R during interval, and convert to % of intervals during which R occurred

A

Discontinuous

23
Q

In process observation, we need both continuous and discontinuous b/c we could work better in different ___

A

Situations

24
Q

R scored if it occurs for entire/ whole interval; tends to underestimate

EX. Recording convo. For whole 10 second interval

A

Whole interval recording (WIR)

25
Q

R scored if it occurs during any part of interval; tends to overestimate

EX. Convo start for 2 of 10 seconds in 10-second interval

A

Partial interval recording (PIR)

26
Q

R scored if it occurs at end of interval; tends to neither underestimate nor overestimate, random errors

EX. Last word said right at last minute (the end)

A

Momentary time sampling (MTS)

27
Q

Purpose of DeLeon and Fuqua was to increase ___

A

Recycling

28
Q

Rationale of DeLeon and Fuqua is to increase folks’ __ on recycling;
lack of __(have to use taxpayer dollars) and utilize other types of incentives

A

Reliance; money

29
Q

Method of DeLeon and Fuqua was that they were broken up into __ groups, and increased recycling without ___ incentives. They monitored feedback

A

3; monetary

30
Q

Measurement used in DeLeon and Fuqua was ___ measurement (observer doesn’t have to be present). They measured the __ of recyclable material

A

Product; weight

31
Q

The __ group did not improve recycling, but the other 2 groups did improve. This is important for applied behavior analysis (ABA)

A

Control

32
Q

Assessing reliability and the consistency of observational code;
When behavior occurred and when it did not occur

I.e. are our records of behavior accurate or not?

A

Interobserver agreement

33
Q

Interobserver agreement is essential b/c of the ___ of human observation, but lack of automated recording

A

Fallibility

34
Q

What factors affect accuracy in interobserver agreement?

A

Bias, fatigue, difficulty recording, and drift from definition

35
Q

Comparing overall session values (totals);
smaller/larger

A

Total agreement

36
Q

Comparing entries in each interval and score as agreements or disagreements;
# of agreements/ # of intervals

EX. Did observers agree or disagree? Did it occur or not?

A

Interval agreements

37
Q

Comparing # of instances/ seconds of behavior recorded in each interval;
# of exact agreement/ # of intervals

EX. Did they say the same exact # or not?

A

Exact agreement

38
Q

Calculating proportion agreement interval by interval, frequency within intervals ;
Total (smaller/larger)/ # of intervals

A

Proportional agreement
