16
Q

Trials to criterion

A

The number of consecutive opportunities to respond required to achieve a performance standard
Record each opportunity to respond until the performance standard is met

17
Q

Trials to criterion steps

A
  1. Determine what one trial will be
  2. Decide how to report (number of trials or number of block trials)
  3. Record count as the measure
  4. Present data
18
Q

Discrete categorization

A

A method for classifying responses into discrete categories

19
Q

Partial interval recording

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if a response happens during any part of the interval

20
Q

Whole interval recording

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a recording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if the behavior occurs for the whole interval

21
Q

Momentary time sampling

A

A discontinuous response measure in which a response is recorded as occurring only if it occurs at the point in time in which an interval ends

22
Q

PLACHECK

A

A group of individuals is observed at the end of an interval
Count how many individuals are engaging in the target behavior(s)
Compare with the total number of individuals
Percent of individuals engaging in behavior(s)

23
Q

Factors to consider when selecting a response measure

A

The dimensional quantity of interest
The estimated rate of behavior
Whether to measure responses or episodes

24
Q

Permanent products

A

Measuring the results of behavior

25
Q

Reliability

A

The consistency of measurement

26
Q

Interobserver agreement

A

The coefficient of agreement between two or more independent observers

Usually calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of agreements by the total number of agreements plus disagreements, then multiplying by 100

27
Q

Uses for IOA

A

Competence of new observers
Detecting observer drift
Validate collection methods
Increase confidence that interventions are responsible for behavior change

28
Q

IV (intervention) integrity

A

The degree to which an intervention is implemented as described/designated

29
Q

The two main methods of IOA

A

Total count

Percent agreement

30
Q

Mean count per interval

A

(Total agreement in each interval/Number of intervals) x 100

31
Q

Exact count per count

A

(# of intervals with 100% agreement/Number of intervals) X 100

32
Q

IOA Should be at or above

A

80%

33
Q

IOA should be collected and scored for a minimum of _____ of observations

A

33%
