Q

Define “free operant” behaviour

A

Is any operant behaviour that results in mimimal displacement of participants time and space.
It is discrete
It requires minmimal time for completion.
can produce a wide range of responses.

22
Q

What is duration per session?

A

Is a measure of the cumulative amount amount of time in which a person engages in the target behaviour.

Q

Is a measure of the cumulative amount amount of time in which a person engages in the target behaviour

A

Duration per session

24
Q

Waht is duration per occurence?

A

Is a measure of the duration of time that each instance of target behaviour occurs.

25
Q

Is a measure of the duration of time that each instance of target behaviour occurs.

A

Duration per occurence

26
Q

Waht is reponse latency?

A

Is the measure of time elasped between the onset of the stimulus (e.g. task direction) and the intiation of the subsequent response.

27
Q

Is the measure of time elasped between the onset of the stimulus (e.g. task direction) and the intiation of the subsequent response.

A

Response latency

28
Q

Waht is inter response time?

A

Is the amount of time that has elapsed between 2 consecutive instances of the response class.

29
Q

Is the amount of time that has elapsed between 2 consecutive instances of the response class

A

Inter response time

Q

What is trials to criterion?

A

Is a measure of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve predetermined level of performance

Examples of trials to criterion

A

shoe tying, using a zipper,

33
Q

What is event recording ?

A

Encompasses a wide variety of procedures for decting and recording the number of times a behaviour is observed.

34
Q

A

Event recording

35
Q

What is whole interval recording?

A

Is used to measure continous behaviours and / or high freqency behaviours that are dificult to disguish between one response to another

36
Q

Is used to measure continous behaviours and / or high freqency behaviours that are dificult to disguish between one response to another

A

Whole interval recording

37
Q

Observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals

A

whole interval recording

38
Q

At the end of the interval the observer records whether the target behaviour has occured throughout the the interval

A

Whole interval recording

39
Q

What is partial interval recording?

A

Observer records whether the target behaviour ahs occured aat anytime during the interval

40
Q

Observer records whether the target behaviour ahs occured aat anytime during the interval

A

Partial interval recording

41
Q

Not concerned with the number of occasions it has occured or how long the behaviour lasted. Just if it occured at some point during the interval

A

Partial interval recording

42
Q

What is momentary time sampling?

A

Records whether the target behaviour is occuring at the moment each time interval

43
Q

Records whether the target behaviour is occuring at the moment each time interval

A

momentary time sampling

44
Q

What is an artifact?

A

An outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured.
But infacr does not correspond to what actually occured.
