Q

Selected measurement for drinking wine

A

Repeatability/discontinuous measurement.
Count/rate or
partial/whole interval
recording

Drinking (putting cup to
mouth) can be counted
but might also be
difficult depending on
the person. Need a good
definition here!

Q

Selected measurement for Swearing

A

Repeatability- frequency or rate

Swearing can be counted #countability

23
Q

Selected measurement for reading

A

Temporal
extent/discontinuous
measurement duration/partial or
whole interval recording

Reading is difficult to
count each instance of
behavior
#continuous behavior

24
Q

Selected measurement for running

A

Repeatability/temporal
extent- rate, total
duration

Running has a clear
start and end so a rate
can be determined but
you can also measure
total duration per
occurrence. Really up to
the measurer

25
Q

Selected measurement for texting

A

Repeatability/temporal
extent-rate, total
duration

Texts can be counted
#countablility. Apple
gives you a total
duration measurement
of texting

26
Q

Selected measurement for responding to a DM

A

Temporal locus-latency

You can measure the
time between receiving a
DM and your response

27
Q

Discrete Behavior

A

Behavior that has a clear
beginning and end

28
Q

Continuous Measurement

A

Measurement that captures all
instances of a response class

29
Q

Discontinuous measurement

A

Includes whole, partial and
momentary time sampling

30
Q

IRT

A

Measures the time between
each response of a behavior.

31
Q

Timing

A

Used to measure IRT, latency
and duration

32
Q

Percentage

A

Used for total number of
opportunities, typically want at
least 30 opportunities

33
Q

Trials to Criterion

A

Used to measure the number of
response opportunities that
are needed to reach a
predetermined criterion

34
Q

Duration

A

Measures the length of time
between the beginning and end
of a response. How long the
behavior lasts

35
Q

Latency

A

Measures the amount of time
between an Sd and the start of
a response

36
Q

Rate

A

Count/Time

37
Q

Temporal Locus

A

.#time #PointInTime

38
Q

Temporal Extent

A

.#duration #ToWhatExtent

39
Q

Repeatability

A

Q

Monica is teaching her client to write her name. Sometimes her client
writes her name in all capital letters, all lower-case letters, or sometimes in
cursive. Monica considers all _____________ of the target behavior correct if
the letters are in order.

A

Topographies

41
Q

Jason is asked to complete an employee information form at his new job
so that they have his emergency contacts and preferred snacks. Jason’s
completed form is a….

A

Permanent Product

42
Q

Partial interval recording methods ___________ the occurrence of behavior
while whole interval recording methods ____________ the occurrence of
behavior

A

Over-estimate, under-estimate

43

Janine Teagues wants to take data on one of her students who attends
Abbot Elementary and talks out frequently during class and assigned
work times. Which of the following measurements is Janine most likely to
choose?

A

44
Q

Mike wants his daughter to clean up her room daily within 15 minutes. He
begins to take data daily on the number of minutes his daughter takes to
clean her room until she is able to complete it within 15 minutes. Which of
the following best describes Mike’s measurement of his daughter’s
behavior?

A

Trials to criterion

Q

Jamie has a client who engages in sticking out her tongue at a very high
rate. She wants to measure this behavior. Should she use a discontinuous
or continuous measurement procedure?

A

Discontinuous Measurement

46
Q

Susan has a client who engages in self-stimulatory behavior. She would
like to capture every instance of the behavior. What type of measurement
should she use?

A

Continuous Measurement (Event recording)

47
Q

Justin observes his client who picks their nose 50 times during a 20 minute
session. What is the frequency of the behavior?

A

50

48
Q

Uncle Fester tells Pugsley to clean his room. Pugsley takes 15 minutes
before he starts cleaning. What is the latency of the behavior?

A

15 minutes

49
Q

Morticia tells Wednesday at 2pm that she cannot eat any more chocolate.
Wednesday engages in screaming behavior for 25 minutes. What is the
duration of Wednesday’s screaming?

A

25 minutes

50
Q

You want to measure the time it takes for a student to engage in
homework once he is told to start his homework by his teacher. Which type
of continuous measurement would you use?

A

Latency

51
Q

Lindsay has a dog that eats so fast he often throws up. What continuous
measurement type would Lindsay use to measure the time between her
dog’s bites of food?

A

IRT

52
Q

George records his client’s hitting behaviors in the classroom. He records
that his client hits 20 times in a 2 hour session. What is the rate of
behavior?

A

10/hour

53
Q

Casey is recording the cursing behavior of Liat. She divides the hour up
into 5 minute intervals. If Liat curses at any point during that 5 minute
interval she records it as a “yes”. What type of time sampling is Casey
using?

A

Partial Interval Recording

54
Q

Charlie is recording the hair pulling behavior of his client. He divides the hour up into 10 minute intervals. If his client engages in hair pulling during the entire interval he marks it as a “yes”. What type of time sampling is
Charlie using?

A

Whole interval recording

55
Q

Tracy is teaching her client to tie his shoes. She records that it takes her
client 6 trials before he can tie his shoes independently. What type of
derivative measurement is Tracy using?

A

Trials to Criterion

56
Q

A teacher is trying to record a student’s humming behavior. However, she
does not have time to record every single instance. She divides up an hour into one minute intervals and looks up at the end of each interval-she records a “yes” if the behavior is occurring at the moment. What type of discontinuous measurement is she using?

A

Momentary Time Sampling
