Lecture 3 & 4 Flashcards
Gather information from others to form hypotheses about relevant contingencies
Indirect Assessment
Direct observation methods to identify correlational relationships between behaviour and specific environmental events.
Descriptive Assessment
Interviewing people who know something about the target behaviour
Informant Assessment
Experimantal manipulations of environmental stimuli to show casual relationships between behaviour and environmental stimuli
Functional Analysis
Questions about Behaviour Functions
QABF
Motivation Assessment Scale
MAS
Functional Analysis screening Tool
FAST
Problem Behaviour Questionnaire
PBQ
Identifies temporal patterns of behaviour under naturally occurring conditions (graph data of time and activity.
Scatterplot
Does not identify antecedents or consequences
Scatterplot
Identifies the antecedent and consequences that surrounds behaviour
ABC recording
Collect notes/information about observed events
Narrative ABC recording
Antecedent/consequence events to be recorded are identified and operationally defined a priori
Structured ABC checklists
Can collect data on quantifiable dimensions of behaviour (frequency or duration) and on the environmental events that also occur
Frequency, Interval and Time sampling
Probability of one event given another event (P Attention-Aggression)
Conditional probabilities
