test 2 Flashcards
Departure from normative functioning, impaired daily functioning, danger of behavior, illegal or rule-breaking behavior, behavior concerning to self or others, behaviors that prevent problems or promote high functioning are common criteria for identifying _________?
Goals of Interventions
Picking a goal matters because it allows one to decide the entire course of treatment, like______.
reinforcing or punishing, shaping or stopping
_______ is defining a concept not the basis of the operations used for assessment.
Operational
_______ is important because it allows advances, replication of findings, and knowledge-building.
Operational Definition
_______ offers specific needed behaviors for assessing and intervening, while task analysis helps to identify specific needed behaviors and the sequence.
Direct Obervations
Frequency measures, discrete categorization, interval recording, duration, latency, intensity, number of people who perform the behavior, and other strategies are all part of________.
the 8 core strategies of assessment
___________ counts occurrence.
Frequency Measures
__________ is a list of responses scored as responding or not.
Discrete Categorization
__________ is a block of time delineated for observations.
Interval recording
_______ is the length of response.
Durations
______ is the force of response.
Intensity
________ is specific measures such as calories for dieting, biometric measures, self and other reports.
Other strategies for assessment
_________ is a way of establishing reliability.
Inter-observer agreement.
_______ argument about the role of reports is that ______ may be the only accessible method of assessment and can compliment other measures. It is also good for determining how a client feels about the treatment and about themselves. Other reports offer different perspectives and often initially spot an issue.
Karzdin’s, Self reports
Number of time daily/weekly, length of time observed, when observed, and who observes are practical decisions about ________.
assessing and sampling behavior
_________ and ________ is related to behavioral variations and determines effectiveness.
Number of times daily/weekly, length of time observed
_________ is determined by deciding which periods the behaviors occur most frequently.
When observed
______ is consistency
Who observes
What are the two themes Karzdin emphasizes.
Flexibility and Rigor
In situations where direct observation would be dangerous and foolish, such as abduction awareness, gun safety, swimming (avoiding drowning), and provides information difficult to obtain in a natural setting is when a _________ should occur instead of a direct observation.
Contrived task
What are to themes kazdin emphasized?
Flexibility and Rigor
Measurements procedures in which the client or person being observed is aware that his or her behavior is being measured.
obtrusive assessment
_____________ agreement is important for consistency, shows biases, and shows if the behavior is well defined.
Interobserver
____________ occurs when observed drifts from definition of behavior and can be checked by watching inter-observer agreement
observer drift
what percent of agreement level is considered acceptable?
80-100%
Impact of intervention, multifaceted issues, multiple perspective, and more information make ______________ more important.
repeated and multiple measures
______________ supplement pre/post intervention assessments by adding additional information related to the intervention and gage effectiveness in areas within and without target behavior
periodic probes
Continuous assessment, Baseline assessment,Stability of performance, and Variability are the 4 characteristics of _________________
single case design
______________ is repeated observations
Continuous assessment
_______________ is level of occurrence before intervention
Baseline assessment
______________ are trends in behavior
Stability of performance
_______________ is fluctuation in trends in data
Variability
A single case is any case geared towards _____________ use.
individual
How is stability established during baseline phase?
There won’t be any trends or slopes
______________ is the consistent increase or decrease tendencies in data
trend and slope
What are the 2 functions of baseline assessment?
Description and prediction
_____________ are isolated treatment effects
Strengths
____________ reverts behavior to prove treatment, which an be dangerous, unethical or undesirable.
Limitations
____________ demonstrates intervention effects, worlds well with multiple targets, ethical, allows modification.
Strength
______________ can be vague without enough baselines to determine a pattern intervention spreads to other individuals, and there is a possibility of generalization.
Limitations
_______________ are popular with clinicians because they are ethical and allow modification.
Multiple baseline design
________________ allow baselines across behavior individual, situation, and time targets.
variation multiple baseline design
What is unique about changing criterion design?
It uses subphrases that are the same intervention with different reinforcement/punishment criterion.
