Q

example of coding

levels of prompts (3)

A
  • verbal prompt
  • gestural prompt
  • physical prompt
26
Q

tools required to collect discrete categorization data (2)

A
  • operational definition and instructions

- data sheet and writing instrument

27
Q

%

A

a ratio that expresses the likelihood that some event would occur if given 100 opportunities to occur

28
Q

in ABA % is commonly used for… (3)

A
  • % of intervals
  • % occurrence
  • % correct responses
29
Q

percent occurrence

A

(# responses/total # opportunities) x 100

30
Q

tools required to collect % correct data (3)

A
  • operational def and instructionns
    • including acceptable correct responses for calculating % correct
  • data sheet and writing instrument
31
Q

discontinuous measures DO NOT…

A

capture every instance of behavior

32
Q

discontinous measures are aka

A

time sampling

33
Q

time sampling (3)

A
  • most measure occurence vs non occurence
  • may miss instances of behavior
  • an estimate of behavior
34
Q

Discontinuous measures and larger time samples

A

-for ALL discontinuous measures, a larger time sample is broken into smaller time intervals

35
Q

Types of discontinous measures (4)

A
  • partial interval recording (PIR)
  • whole interval recording (WIR)
  • momentary time sample (MTS)
  • PLACHECK
36
Q

PIR (4)

A
  • total recording time broken into smaller chunks of time
  • record if a response occurs at any time during each interval
  • behaviors that occur muliple times w/in an interval are scored only once
  • calculate the percent of intervals
37
Q

tools required for PIR and WIR (3)

A
  • operational def and instrunctions
  • data sheet w/ intervals and writing instrument
  • ways to measure time intervals
38
Q

WIR (2)

A
  • total recording time is broken into smaller chunks of time
  • record if a response occurs throughout the whole interval
39
Q

diff between momentary time sampling and WIR

A

-with momentary time sampling only record if a response is occurring at the end of the interval

40
Q

PLACHECK stands for

A

Planned Activity Check

41
Q

PLACHECK

what it is

A
  • total recoding time broken into smaller chunks

- record # of individuals engaged in the target response at the end of the interval (and how many total group members)

42
Q

permanent products

A

-measuring the results of behavior or something behavior leaves behind

43
Q

example of permanent products

A

diapers in trashcan vs times urinated

44
Q

type of graphs commonly used

A
  • bar graph

- equal-interval line graph

45
Q

bar graphs are ideal for (2)

A
  • comparing results among various individuals, groups, or categories
  • comparing unrelated variables
46
Q

bar graphs commonly used for

A

displaying preference assessment results

47
Q

equal interval line graphs (4)

A
  • most common graph used in ABA
  • ideal for
    • showing changes of a measure over time
    • comparing related variables
48
Q

parts of equal-interval line graph beyond x, y axis, and data points (3)

A
  • data path
  • phase change lines and labels
  • figure legend
49
Q

how are condition changes depicted on graphs

A

as a broken line on the graph

50
Q

involves continous observation of the individual and directly measures characteristics of behavior

A

continous measurement

51
Q

data path

A

the primary focus for anaylsis and interpretation on an equal-interval line graph

52
Q

discontinuous measures

A

these types of measurement procedures are not intended to capture every instance of behavior but rather a sample of behavior

53
Q

duration per occurence

A

the amount of time that each instance of the target behavior occurs

54
Q

percent duration

A

calculated by dividing the amount of time the response lasted by the total time observed then multiplying by 100

55
Q

percent occurence

A

calculated by dividing the number of target responses by the total # of opportunities to respond and multiplying by 100

56
Q

total duration

A

cumulative amount of time an individual engages in the target behavior

57
Q

x axis

A

states what response measure was used to measure the target response

58
Q

when we record the time between the antecedent stimulus and when the response occurs, we are measuring

A

latency

59
Q

momentary time sampling

A
  • total recording time is broken into smaller chunks of time
  • record if a response is occurring at the end of the interval
60
Q

when collecting momentary time sampling on body-rocking, which of the following are minaimal materials required (3)

A
  • timer, clock
  • operational definition/ instrument
  • data sheet with inervals and pen
