condition changes
continuous measures
involves continous obersvation of the individual and directly measures characteristics of behavior
condition changes
minor changes to treatment or the environment, sometimes depicted as broken vertical lines on a graph
data path
the primary focus for analysis and interpretation on an equal-interval line graph
discontinuous measures
these types of measurement procedures are not inteded to capture every instance of behavior, but rather a sample of behavior
classifying responses, prompts, or products of behavior based on a coding system
discrete categorization
the most common type of graph used in aba
equal-interval line graph
figure legend
a concise statment on a graph that provides you w/ sufficient info to id the target behaviors and the interventions
horizontal axis label
states what time periods are represented by each successive data point
momentary time sample
observer records a response as having occurred only if it occurs at the end of the interval (when the timer goes off
% duration
calculated by dividing the amount of time the response lasted by the total time observed, then multiplying by 100
percentage
a ratio that expresses the likelihood that some event would occur if given 100 opportunites to occur
permanent product
the results of behavior or something that the behavior leaves behind tht can be measured
