Measurements

Question 1

Three fundamental properties of measurable dimensions of behavior

Answer 1

a) repeatability or accountability
b) temporal extent
c) temporal locus

Question 2

what is the timeline measurement is conducted?

Answer 2

Before, during, and after treatment

Question 3

Temporal extent means

Answer 3

Duration

Question 4

Measures based on repeatability

Answer 4

Count, Frequency, Rate

Question 5

Numbers of responses emitted during an observation period is reported?

Answer 5

as frequency

Question 6

Rate of correct and incorrect measures are helpful in?

Answer 6

skill development

Question 7

Measures based on temporal locus

Answer 7

Latency, Interresponse time

Question 8

Response latency

Answer 8

The measurement how quickly or slow a behavior occurs after an opportunity bega

Question 9

Interresponse time

Answer 9

Amount of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response class; (transitions)

Question 10

Percentage

Answer 10

A ratio formed by combining the same dimensional qualities

Proportion of correct to incorrect

Question 11

Trial-to-criterion

Answer 11

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

Question 12

Topography

Answer 12

The physical form or shape of a behavior

anything involving the senses

Question 13

Magnitude

Answer 13

The force or intensity with which a response is emitted

Question 14

Devices used for event recording

Answer 14

wrist counters, digital counters, masking tape, paper clips, etc

Question 15

Recording timing

Answer 15

procedures to measure duration, response latency, and interresponse time

Question 16

List A, B, C how((a) and why(b,c) we use Partial interval recorded.

Answer 16

a) at end of interval record if behavior occurred at any time during the interval
b) allows for multiple occurrences scored as one
c) allows for recording of multiple behaviors

Question 17

Sampling parital interval recording is recorded?

Answer 17

as percentage of intervals when behavior occurred

Question 18

Count

Answer 18

number of responses emitted during an observation period

Question 19

Rate/Frequency

Answer 19

ratio of count per observation period

Question 20

Guidelines for using rate

Answer 20

a) takes the complexity of response into account
b) a useful measure for free operants
c) not appropriate for responses within discrete trials
d) not appropriate for continuous behavior over an extended period

Question 21

Celeration

Answer 21

measures of the change in rate of responding per unit of time

Question 22

Duration

Answer 22

the amount of time a behavior occurs

Question 23

Event recording

Answer 23

procedures for detecting and recording the number of times a behavior is observed

Question 24

Devices used for timing duration, response latency, and interresponse

Answer 24

computer systems, stopwatch, wall clocks, tape recorder

Question 25

Time sampling whole interval recording

Answer 25

a) used to measure continuous behavior
b) brief intervals (5-15 seconds)
c) at end of interval - record if behavior occurred throughout
d) risk of underestimation (something you want to increase)
e) reported as a percentage of intervals when behavior occurred

Question 26

Momentary time sampling

Answer 26

recoding whether or not the behavior occurred right at the moment the interval elapsed

Question 27

Permanent product recording

Answer 27

you measure some physical product that the behavior produced

Question 28

Procedures for measuring behavior

Answer 28

1. Event recording
2. Timing
3. Time Sampling
