16
Q

3 forms of time sampling

A

Whole Interval Recording
Partial Interval Recording
Momentary Time Sampling

17
Q

Whole Interval Recording

A

Underestimates the rate of a behavior

Through the entire interval

18
Q

Partial Interval Recording

A

Over estimates the rate of behavior

Half the interval

19
Q

Momentarily Time Sampling

A

Over or Under estimates the rate of behavior

End of the interval

20
Q

Planned Activity Check

A

Groups
Variation of Momentarily Time Sampling
Groups of students

21
Q

Permanent Product

A

Measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring the effects the behavior produced on the environment

22
Q

3 trustworthy measurements

A

Validity
Accuracy
Reliability

23
Q

Validity

A

Directly measuring socially significant target behaviors.

Measuring dimension of the target behavior relevant to the question or concern about the behavior

24
Q

Threats measurement validity

A

Indirect Measurements
Measuring the wrong dimension of the target bx
measurement artifacts

25
Q

3 causes of measurement artifacts

A
  1. Discontinuous Measurements
  2. Poor Scheduled Measurement Periods
  3. Insensitive or limiting measurement scales
26
Q

Accuracy

A

Observed Value
True Value
Requires special or precautions that all possible sources of error have been removed

27
Q

Reliability

A

Measurement procedures yields the same value when brought into repeated contact with the same state of nature

Same results repeatedly

28
Q

Observer Drift

A

Alter the way they measure a behavior

29
Q

Measurement Bias

A

Errors in measurement likely to be in one direction

30
Q

Naive Observers

A

Minimize measurement bias. Trained observer who is unaware of the study purpose

31
Q

Observer Reactivity

A

Error resulting from an observers knowledge that others are evaluating the data they report

32
Q

4 event recording IOAS

A

Total Count
Mean Count per interval
Exact count per interval
Trial by Trial IOA

33
