Sections A,B Flashcards
Temporal extent
duration
repeatability
frequency, Rate, IRT
Temporal locus
location of response in relating to other responses. latency, Rate, IRT
whole interval
increase a bx
partial interval
decrease a bx
measurement artifacts
misleading picture of behavior based on the way its measured. discontinuous measurement, poorly scheduled observations, insensitive scales.
Discontinuous IOA measurement
interval by interval, scored, unscored
interval by interval
middle ground unspecified (3)
scored
low rates of behavior (3)
unscored
high rates of behavior (3)
continuous IOA measurement
mean count, total count, exact count, trail by trail, mean duration, total duration
trial by trial
exclusive to DTT (3)
exact count
strict (3) frequency/rate
Total count
frequency/rate simple (1)
mean count
frequency/ rate middle ground average (2)
mean duration/IRT/Latency
middle ground average (2)
total duration/IRT/Latency
simple (1)
Formula (1)
total: sum of each observe small/large x 100
Formula (2)
Mean: sum of agreement of each interval/total # of intervals x 100
Formula (3)
time in agreement/# of opportunities x 100
accuracy
comparing the true value to observed value.
reliability
data from one observation to data from another observation. Repeated measurement. Variability
validity
the objective to the measurement system.
accuracy and reliability
more than one data set
Equal interval graph (line)
Cons: y is not scaled, Pros: most popular, easily displays changes in level trend and variability. uses: daily tracking, graphing experimental data.
bar graph (histogram)
no data points, compares sets of data, graphing nominal data, tool for summarizing. Cons: does not show variability, level, trend. Uses: comparing discrete values, quick reference.
cumulative record
total number of responses, no slope no responding, steep slope high responding, never decrease, skinner. Cons: not well known, does not show decreasing trends. Uses: skills acquisition, tracking total number of responses.
scatterplot
data points but no lines, trends in clusters, can be displayed with interval tracking. Cons: not as well known, snapshot, not the whole picture. Uses: scheduling, pattern identification.
standard celeration chart
ogden Lindsley, rate per unit of time, once every 24 hours-1000 times a minute. Pros: avoid scaling errors, Cons: very unfamiliar, could be difficult to read. Uses: fluency building, precision teaching
visual analysis
level, trend, variability
withdrawal/Reversal
BAB, multiple treatment reversal (sequence effects are different phases effects carrying over into another phase), NCR reversal, DR reversal: baseline of removal of IV, ethical concerns, not suitable for behaviors that cannot be unlearned.
alternating treatment design
Variations: single phase without baseline, with baseline, with baseline and final best treatment phase, multielement, concurrent schedule, multiple schedules, alternative treatment, simultaneous treatment. contrived/unnatural, treatment must be significantly different, no baseline or reversal required, data stability not required, avoids irreversibility, unstable data, and sequence effects.
multiple baseline
Weaker variations: multiple probe, delayed multiple baseline: highly flexible, stability in baseline is necessary, Time/costly, treatment delay means ethical concerns, DV must be functionally similar, and independent of one another.
changing criterion
baseline optional, IV is gradually changed, criteria is set for each phase, bx must be in repertoire
multiple probe
intermittently measured. for recording learning.
delayed multiple baseline
used when reversal is no longer possible, limited resources are available, or now setting, behavior, subject.
experimental analysis
component analysis, parametric, non-parametric
