A

Specify whento start recording (at the onset or the offset of the stimulus).Specify when to stop recording (at the beginning or end of the response cycle).

16
Q

stimating mean IRT’s

A

Use when responses are distributed across the observation period, there are no significant outliers and you know the rate. Formula: Recording interval/count

17
Q

Dimensionless quantities of discontinuous response measures

A

Percent occurrenceTrials to criterionDiscrete categorizationPartial interval recordingWhole interval recordingMomentary time samplingPLACHECK

18
Q

Percent occurrence

A

Similar to event recording of a restricted or discriminated operant which has been converted into a percent

19
Q

Percent correct

A

A special case of percent occurrence

20
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

21
Q

Trials to criterion steps

A
  1. Determine what one trial will be2. Decide how to report (number of trials or number of block trials)3. Record count as the measure4. Present data
22
Q

Discrete categorization(coding)

A

A method for classifying responses into discrete categories

23
Q

Partial interval recording

A

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

24
Q

Whole interval recording

A

A discontinuous response measure.Arecording session is broken into short intervals of time; occurrence is recorded if the behavior occurs for the whole interval

25
Q

Momentary time sampling

A

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

26
Q

PLACHECK

A

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

27
Q

Factors to consider when selecting a response measure

A

The dimensional quantity of interest.The estimated rate of the behavior.Whether to measure responses or episodes.Data collection: who, when, where, how long and how often

28
Q

Permanent products

A

Measuring the results (or products) of behavior

29
Q

Reliability

A

The consistency of measurement

30
Q

Interobserver Agreement

A

The coefficient of agreement between two or more independentobservers.Usually calculated as a percentage by dividing the number of agreements by the total number of agreements plus disagreements, then multiplying by 100.

31
Q

Uses of IOA

A

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

32
Q

IV integrity

A

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

33
Q

The two main methods of IOA

A

Total count Percent agreement

34
Q

IOA Guidelines

A

80% or aboveCollected and scored for a minimum of 33% of observations.

35
Q

Exact count per interval IOA

A

of intervals with 100% agreementNumber of intervalsX 100
