Validity, Accuracy, Reliability
List the 2 types of validity
Internal, External
List the most commonly used indicator of measurement quality in ABA
IOA
List the 3 requirements to obtain valid IOA measurements.
-Same measurement system
-Measure the same event
-Score indepedently
List the 4 ways to calculate IOA by using event recording data.
-Total count
-exact count per interval
-mean count per interval
-trial by trial
List the 3 time sampling/interval recording methods for collecting IOA.
Interval by interval
unscored
scored
List the 2 time-based methods for calculating IOA
Total duration, mean duration
T/F: The 3 types of trustworthy
measurements are reliability, validity
and accuracy.
True
T/F: Reliability refers to the extent to
which the observed value matches the
true value.
False, accuracy
T/F: Validity refers to whether the
method of measurement being used
measures what it is supposed to
measure
True
T/F: A permanent product is something
that measures behavior before it has
occurred.
False, by measuring effects the Bx has on the environment
T/F: Internal validity measures the
extent to which an experiment
demonstrates that the change in
behavior is a direct result of the
dependent variable and not a result
of the uncontrolled variables.
False, independent variable
T/F: External validity measures the
degree to which the study results are
generalizable to other behaviors, setting, and subjects
True
T/F: IOA is the most commonly used
indicator of measurement quality in
applied behavior analysis.
True
T/F: Exact count per interval IOA is the
simplest method of IOA.
False, total count
T/F: Total count IOA is the strictest
method of event recording.
False, exact count
T/F: One of the requirements for
obtaining valid IOA measurements is
that observers must measure and
score the same event.
True
T/F: Scored-interval IOA uses only the
interval in which one or both
observers scored a target behavior as
occurring.
True
