Q

Byron Wine’s Definition of restrictive procedures

A

“A procedure designed to decelerate behavior or protect clients that temporarily limits movement or access to reinforcers”

  • procedures designed to keep individuals safe (aggression, SIB, property destruction)
  • must always be tracked
  • may protect individuals (and have other effects as well)
26
Q

Definition of Emergency Procedures:

A

“a procedure that is used to protect a client should he/she engage in behavior that is dangerous to self or others, has the potential to cause significant property damage, or expose the client to legal consequences”

27
Q

The use of restrictives

A

should be graphed with target behavior if possible

28
Q

When an emergency procedure occurs:

A
  • assess if medical treatment is necessary
  • inform required parties
  • assess the data around the incident
29
Q

Why is monitoring staff implementation important?

A
  • acquisition: provides information on teaching procedures

- deceleration: provides information on effectiveness and proper implementation

30
Q

Graphing staff behavior with restrictive data is important because it:

A

-demonstrates patterns of restrictive use

31
Q

High staff compliance with a treatment to decrease SIB along with high use of restrictive procedures may indicate

A
  • misuse of restrictives
  • an ineffective treatment
  • an error in the assessment process
32
Q

Cumulative records can be interpreted ______ and ____ sessions

A

Cumulative records can be interpreted WITHIN and ACROSS sessions

33
Q

4 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 (if using block it would be number of trials before one can complete all of the steps in the block)
  4. present data
34
Q

The first step in using trials-to-criterion:

A

-decide what a trial will consist of

35
Q

Which can be used in trials-to-criterion besides a simple count?

A

duration

36
Q

Discrete Categorization (coding) definition

A
  • a method for classifying responses into discrete categories
  • expressed as percentage of responses for each code
  • similar to frequency, but most often used when several different behaviors occur and there is a limited number of opportunities to observe
37
Q 
Which of the following is the best target for discrete categorization?
A. Duration of self-injury
B. Answers correct on a math worksheet
C. Instances of air swallowing
D. Non-compliance
A

A. Duration of self-injury

38
Q

Which of the following is the best target for discrete categorization?
A. Occurrences of self-injury
B. If property destruction results in damage
C. Duration of academic engagement over a week

A

B if property destruction results in damage

39
Q

Define Probability

A

-a method of quantifying the chances of obtaining a specific sample from a population
-Formula: Sample/population
Sample= number of items meeting definition
Population=total number of items
-expressed from 0-1

40
Q

Define Percent:

A
  • number of times an event occurred per 100 opportunities that the event could have occurred (ABA generally looks at correct answer percentage or number of intervals percentage)
  • Cooper, Heron, Heward (2007) do not recommend calculating percentages with less than 30 opportunities
41
Q

Probability is best used for?

A

-precursors that occasion aggression

42
Q

Descriptive Statistics definition

A
  • may be used for interpretation, but also describe properties of samples
  • used with groups or with repeated measures of an individual
  • complement visual analysis-often used by behavior analysts for level and IOA
43
Q

Descriptive Statistics:

A 
Mean
Median
Mode
Range
Standard Deviation
Effect Size
44
Q

When calculating the median:

A

use with data that contain extreme values

45
Q

Which of the following is the best target to report the median?

A

salaries in company

46
Q

Pareto Principle?

A

80-20 rule
“in business it is often acknowledged that 80% of revenue comes from 20% of customers”
-for example, where do 80% of your client referrals will come from?

47
Q

If the Pareto Principle held perfectly true, then if a behavior analyst had 10 clients who engaged in aggression, __ would be responsible for 80% of aggression in a given period of time

A

2

48
Q

The main reason that the Pareto Principle is of interest to behavior analysts is?

A

-it holds true across many scenarios

49
Q

Archival Data (non-experimental method)

A

-archival data comes from searching the ‘archives’ for data that have been recorded in the past

We use them to:

  • rule-out treatment
  • obtain baseline data
  • obtain comparison baselines
50
Q

Survey Data

A
  • participants are asked to respond to a set of open- or closed-ended questions
  • anon info from large numbers of people
51
Q

Observational Studies?

A

-relationships between variables are observed and recorded as they occur naturally

52
Q

If I wanted to select a treatment that most of my colleagues have used for a specific situation, I could implement ___ to gather data

A

-survey

53
Q

I want to analyze what current variables influence seizure activity in one of my clients. I might implement a ___ to assess this.

A

-Observational study

54
Q

Variability

A

-refers to the extent to which measures of behavior under the same environmental conditions diverge from one another
(stability and variability are opposites)

55
Q

SPC

A

SPC stands for Statistical Process Control

56
Q

Statistical Process Control (SPC) definition?

A
  • a method of assessing the variability in a process by using statistical methods
  • construct charts
  • apply a set of decision rules to on-going data
  • only intervene when there is “special cause variation”
  • these procedures aid, but do NOT replace, visual inspection
57
Q

Run tests are used to?

A

-detect variation due to special cause variation

58
Q

According to SPC (Statistical Process Control):

A

-some variation is normal

59
Q

SPC (Statistical Process Control) Uses:

A
  • baseline stability
  • was the intervention successful
  • monitor interventions in real time
60
Q

SPC (Statistical Process Control) may be used by behavior analysts:

A

in addition to visual inspection

61
Q

The baic uses of SPC for behavior analysts include?

A

All of the following:

  • analyzing baseline data
  • monitoring of post-intervention data
  • analyzing unusual events
62
Q

Using SPC techniques along with visual analyses, if the instances of aggression fall above ___ standard deviations, then special causes are likely in-place?

A
