Answer 1

1. Repeatability
2. Temporal Extent
3. Temporal Locus

Question 2

Repeatability

Answer 2

Count
Rate aka Frequency
Celeration- Count per unit of time/time

Question 3

Temporal Extent

Answer 3

Duration

“High rate behaviors”

Question 4

Temporal Locus

Answer 4

Locus=Point of time

Response Latency (Latency)
IRT

Question 5

Derivative Measures

Answer 5

1. Percentage

2. Trials to Criterion

Question 6

2 definitional measures

Answer 6

1. Topography

2. Magnitude

Question 7

Continuous Measures

Answer 7

Measurement conducted in a manner that all instances of the response class interests are detected during the observation period

Question 8

Continuous Measures Advantages

Answer 8

Free Operant
Discrete beginning and ending
Emitted at any time

Question 9

Continuous Measures Disadvantages

Answer 9

Not useful for behaviors that
are high rates
measured as discrete trials
Opportunity Based

Question 10

Discontinuous Measures

Answer 10

Some instances of the response class may NOT be detected

Question 11

Discontinuous Measures Advantages

Answer 11

High Rates
Long durations of time
Measured as discrete trials
Measured as percentages

Question 12

3 procedures for measuring behavior

Answer 12

Event Recording

Question 13

Event Recording

Answer 13

of times a response class occurs

Hand tallies, counters, buttons and calculators

Question 14

Timing

Answer 14

Duration
Response Latency
Irt
Stop Watch

Question 15

Time Sampling

Answer 15

Variety of methods for recording behavior during interval or at specific moments in time

Question 16

3 forms of time sampling

Answer 16

Whole Interval Recording
Partial Interval Recording
Momentary Time Sampling

Question 17

Whole Interval Recording

Answer 17

Underestimates the rate of a behavior

Through the entire interval

Question 18

Partial Interval Recording

Answer 18

Over estimates the rate of behavior

Half the interval

Question 19

Momentarily Time Sampling

Answer 19

Over or Under estimates the rate of behavior

End of the interval

Question 20

Planned Activity Check

Answer 20

Groups
Variation of Momentarily Time Sampling
Groups of students

Question 21

Permanent Product

Answer 21

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

Question 22

3 trustworthy measurements

Answer 22

Validity
Accuracy
Reliability

Question 23

Validity

Answer 23

Directly measuring socially significant target behaviors.

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

Question 24

Threats measurement validity

Answer 24

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

Question 25

3 causes of measurement artifacts

Answer 25

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

Question 26

Accuracy

Answer 26

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

Question 27

Reliability

Answer 27

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

Question 28

Observer Drift

Answer 28

Alter the way they measure a behavior

Question 29

Measurement Bias

Answer 29

Errors in measurement likely to be in one direction

Question 30

Naive Observers

Answer 30

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

Question 31

Observer Reactivity

Answer 31

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