Answer 2

see

hear

Question 3

attitudes, emotional states & labels arent

Answer 3

behaviours

Question 4

defining behaviour firstly involves constructing an

Answer 4

operational definition

Question 5

functionally

Answer 5

different behaviour same result

Question 6

geographically

Answer 6

same behaviour different result

Question 7

time we use to observe is called

Answer 7

observational period

Question 8

reactivity

Answer 8

change in a persons behaviour because they are being observed

Question 9

we need to use a __________ way to collect data

Answer 9

systematic

Question 10

collect data to see if

Answer 10

treatment us needed
best treatment
if treatment had an effect

Question 11

how many times a behaviour occurs is

Answer 11

frequency

number of behaviour / number of oppitunities

Question 12

how many time behaviur occurs durning any given time

Answer 12

Rate

number of behaviour / time observered

Question 13

how long it takes for behaviour to start

Answer 13

latency

Question 14

how long behaviour lasts

Answer 14

duration

duration / observation period X 100

Question 15

time sampling

Answer 15

estimates approx how long someone enaged in behaviour

Question 16

divide observation period into equal intervals then mark if a behaviour occured in that interval
give equation

Answer 16

time sampling
number of intervals marked /
X100
total number of intervals

Question 17

interval is marked if behaviour occurred throughout the whole interval

Answer 17

Whole interval recording

Question 18

interval is marked if behaviiour occurs at all during the interval
______________ behaviour

Answer 18

partial interval recording

decreases behaviour

Question 19

mark interval if behaviour occurs at very end of the interval

Answer 19

momentary time sampling

Question 20

determining behaviour had occured by seeing an outcome

Answer 20

permanent product recording

Question 21

once observed you need to construct a
