Unit 2 Flashcards
Measurement
Quantifying dimensions of objects or events
Empiricism
Objective observation with:
Thorough description and quantification of the behavior
Repeatability
A single response:
That occurs can reoccur
Temporal locus
A single response:
Occurs at a point in time in relation to other events
Temporal extent
A single response:
Occupies or extends through time
Dimensional quantity
Measurable aspect of a:
Fundamental property of behavior
Count (countability):
Number of times a response occurs
Rate:
Ratio of responses over time
Celeration:
Change in rate of response over time
IRT:
Time between 2 successive responses
Latency:
Time between an antecedent stimulus and a response
Duration:
Time from the start to the end of a response
Data:
Information collected through measurement
Complete observation:
All occurrences of the target behavior are observed and measured
Incomplete observation:
Samples of the target behavior are observed and measured
