Unit 3

Question 1

Discontinuous recording methods:

Answer 1

They do not capture all instances of behavior during an observation period

Question 2

Interval recording
What type of measurement used?

Answer 2

Discontinuous measurement

Question 3

Interval recording
Observation period is:

Answer 3

Divided into smaller time periods with established occurrence and non occurrence criteria established

Question 4

Partial interval recording

Answer 4

Occurrence noted if behavior occurs ANY TIME during the interval

Question 5

PIR stands for

Answer 5

Partial interval recording

Question 6

Whole interval recording:

Answer 6

Occurrence is noted if behavior occurs for the ENTIRE interval

Question 7

WIR stands for:

Answer 7

Whole interval recording

Question 8

Momentary time sampling

Answer 8

Occurrence/non occurrence is observed and recorded at the end of the interval

Question 9

MTS stands for

Answer 9

Momentary time sampling

Question 10

Planned activity check

Answer 10

Number of group members engaging in the behavior is noted at the end of the interval.

Question 11

PLACHECK stands for

Answer 11

Planned activity check

Question 12

Question 16

Permanent product:

Answer 16

Environmental change produced by behavior

Question 17

Measurement validity:

Answer 17

Measure directly related to the behavior and purpose of measurement
