Q

reliability

A

the consistency of measurement; repeated measurement yields the same values

21
Q

bar graph

A

simple graphic that summarized behavior-related data but does not have distinct data points

22
Q

cumulative record

A

a cumulative number of responses is recorded and the steeper the slope the greater the response rate

23
Q

equal-interval graphs

A

distance between the points on the x and y axis are an equal distance

24
Q

non equal-interval graphs

A

distance between the point on the x and y axis are not an equal distance

25
Q

scatterplot

A

demonstrates relative distribution of individual measures; data points are not connected; identifiable trend

26
Q

standard celeration chart

A

standardized chart where rate of behavior is multiplied or divided by a unit of time

27
Q

line graph

A

most commonly used in ABA; based on the Cartesian plane; points on the graph represent relationships between the dependent and independent variables

28
Q

data path

A

level and trend between successive data points

29
Q

visual analysis

A

visual inspection of behavioral data for trend, level, and variability

30
Q

trend

A

overall direction taken by a data path and is described by direction, degree, and variability

31
Q

level

A

value on the vertical axis a series of behavioral data points covers

32
Q

variability

A

multiple measure of a behavior that yield different outcomes

33
