SAFMEDS 2

Question 1

The time period in which and observer observes and records the behaviour of a client participating in a behaviour modification program.

Answer 1

Observation period

Question 2

Occurs when two observers independently observe and record a person’s behaviour at the same time and agree on the occurrence of the behaviour.

Answer 2

Inter-Observer Agreement

Question 3

Assessment that relies on information from others. The information on the problem behaviour, antecedents, and consequences is not derived from direct observation but from retrospective report in interviews and questionnaires.

Answer 3

Indirect Assessment

Question 4

A type of direct observation data collection in which the client observes and records his or her own behaviour as it occurs.

Answer 4

Self-Monitoring

Question 5

Measurement of the target behaviour in behaviour modification. May also refer to measurement of antecedents and consequences of the target behaviour.

Answer 5

Behavioural Assessment

Question 6

Behavioural assessment involving direct observation and recording of the behaviour as it occurs.

Answer 6

Direct Assessment

Question 7

The phenomenon in which the process of recording behaviour causes the behaviour to change even before treatment is implemented for the behaviour.

Answer 7

Reactivity

Question 8

A behaviour-recording procedure in which the observation period is divided into intervals, and the behaviour is recorded during a part of each interval.

Answer 8

Time Sampling Recording

Question 9

The occurrence of the behaviour is marked in an interval only when the behaviour occurs throughout the entire interval.

Answer 9

Whole-Interval Recording

Question 10

A type of behaviour recording procedure in which the observation period is divided into number of consecutive time intervals and the behaviour is recorded as occurring or not occurring in each interval.

Answer 10

Interval Recording

Question 11

The condition or phase in which no treatment is implemented.

Answer 11

Baseline

Question 12

A type of recording procedure in which some aspect of the behaviour is recorded each time the behaviour occurs.

Answer 12

Continuous Recording

Question 13

The observer provides instructions or arranges for specific events or activities to occur during the observation period.

Answer 13

Structured Observation

Question 14

An observation setting that is part of the client’s normal daily routine.

Answer 14

Natural Setting

Question 15

A variation of time sample recording in which the behaviour is recorded only if it occurs at the exact instant the interval ends.

Answer 15

Momentary Time Sample Recording

Question 16

A recording method in hich the number of times the target behaviour occurs is recorded within consecutive intervals of time during the observation period.

Answer 16

Frequency-Within-Interval Recording

Question 17

The observer scores the interval if the behaviour occurred during any part or the interval.

Answer 17

Partial-Interval Recording

Question 18

A type of behaviour recording in which the outcome or permanent product of the behaviour is recorded as an indication of the occurrence of the behaviour.

Answer 18

Product Recording

Question 19

A recording method in which you record the exact time of each onset and offset of the target behaviour in the observation period.

Answer 19

Real-Time Recording

Question 20

No specific events, activities, or instructions are given during the observation period.

Answer 20

Unstructured Observation

Question 21

An observation setting that is not part of the client’s normal daily routine. Typically involves a setting such as a separate room where all stimuli and activities are controlled by the examiner.

Answer 21

Analogue Setting

Question 22

The response that is elicited by an unconditioned stimulus (US).

Answer 22

Unconditioned response

Question 23

The process in which the unconditioned stimulus and conditioned stimulus are presented at the same time in respondent conditioning trials.

Answer 23

Simultaneous Conditioning

Question 24

When a stimulus is intense or easily detected by the individual.

Answer 24

Salient

Question 25

A process in which a neutral stimulus is paired with an unconditioned stimulus. The US elicits an unconditioned resposne.

Answer 25

Respondent Conditioning

Question 26

The process by which, when a neutral stimulus is paired with a conditioned stimulus a number of times, the neutral stimulus becomes a CS that will then elicit the same conditioned response.

Answer 26

Higher-Order Conditioning

Question 27

Behaviour that acts on the environment to produce an immediate consequence an, in turn, is strengthened by that consequence.

Answer 27

Operant Behaviour

Question 28

Behaviour that can be observed and recorded by a person other than the one engaging in the behaviour.

Answer 28

Overt Behaviours

Question 29

Occurs when a behaviour in a particular situation is followed by a reinforcing consequence, thus making the behaviour more likely to occur in similar circumstances in the future.

Answer 29

Operant Conditioning

Question 30

In respondent conditioning, it is elicited by a conditioned stimulus.

Answer 30

Conditioned Resposne

Question 31

A type of conditioned response in which an emotional response such as fear, anger, or happiness is elicited by a conditioned stimulus in the process of respondent conditioning.

Answer 31

Conditioned Emotional Response
