Question 8

Observations should be u……….. As possible to reduce reactivity

Answer 8

Unobtrusive

Question 9

V…………. Does not create reactivity

Answer 9

Videotaping

Question 10

How many times the behaviour occurs F…………

Answer 10

Frequency

Question 11

Percentage for frequency is:

Answer 11

Number of behaviours / number of opportunities x100%

Question 12

How many times a behaviour occurs in a period of time is R………

Answer 12

Rate

Question 13

Rate per minute is calculated by:

Answer 13

Number of behaviour / number of observational minutes = rate per min

Answer 14

Duration

Question 15

To calculate duration:

Answer 15

Duration/observation period x 100%

Answer 18

Equal intervals

Question 19

To get percentage intervals you:

Answer 19

Number of intervals marked/ total number of intervals x 100%
