04 Behavioral Assessment / 04.05 ABC Narrative Data, Scatter Plots Flashcards
Entries in the cells of a scatter plot may indicate
conditions under which the target behavior occurs.
frequency of occurrence of the target behavior.
a lag sequence analysis.
(all of the others)
frequency of occurrence of the target behavior.
Occurrences of behavior in the cells of a scatter plot can be indicated in a variety of ways, including frequency, the duration of the behavior during the interval, and occurrence or non-occurrence depending on how often it occurred during the interval (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, pp. 248-250; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).

A scatter plot may yield relations between a behavior and events associated with a particular time of day (Iwata et al, 2000, p. 76; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).
A scatter plot may identify an association between a behavior and which of the following:
presence of experimental conditions.
social setting that tends to occur at a certain time of day.
control by a peer who is always present.
(all of the others)
social setting that tends to occur at a certain time of day.
A scatter plot is a grid upon which time of day, session, period, etc. is indicated along one ordinate and the day or date is indicated along the other ordinate. Occurrences of the behavior are recorded in each of the cells that make up the grid. This results in a graphical illustration of the times of day in which the behavior is most likely to occur. Further assessment efforts would then focus on those times (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, pp. 248-250; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).

occurrence(s) of the target behavior.

A scatter plot is a grid upon which time of day, session, period, etc. is indicated along one ordinate and the time, day, or date is indicated along the other ordinate. Occurrences of the behavior are recorded in each of the cells that make up the grid. This results in a graphical illustration of the times of day in which the behavior is most likely to occur. Further assessment efforts would then focus on those times (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, pp. 248-250; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).
The baby's diaper is leaking and he begins crying. You immediately pick him up and take him to the diaper changing table to change his wet diaper, all within a few seconds. On the way, he starts smiling. What would you record as the ANTECEDENT to smiling? wet diaper only wet diaper and getting picked up getting picked up getting diaper changed
wet diaper and getting picked up
A child sitting alone picks his arm until it bleeds. Nothing is happening. No one is there and he doesn't know you are observing. What would you record as the ANTECEDENT? no identifiable antecedent bleeding (none of the above) pain
no identifiable antecedent333
Consider the following scatter plot: X ordinate = days of the month; Y ordinate = hours. Most cells are filled in a few adjacent ROWS. The behavior occurred
mostly during a few hours of the day.
mostly during a particular time of the month.
randomly across days of the month.
randomly across times of the day.
mostly during a few hours of the day.
Cells filled in a few adjacent rows indicate that the behavior(s) occurred during a few hours of the day over many days. Cells filled in a few columns indicate that the behavior occurred around certain days of the month. No pattern indicates unpredictability; hence the behavior occurred randomly across times of the day and days of the month (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, pp. 248-250; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).
Scatter plots potentially yield a correlation between behaviors and
activities that regularly occur at the same time.

A scatter plot is a grid upon which occurrences of behaviors are indicated as occurring not at all, a few times, or several times within intervals. A pattern of responding across days could yield a correlation between the behavior and the time of day, or certain activities or individuals associated with those times (Iwata et al, 2000, p. 76; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).

A scatter plot is a grid upon which time of day, session, period, etc. is indicated along one ordinate and the day or date is indicated along the other ordinate. Occurrences of the behavior are recorded in each of the cells that make up the grid. This results in a graphical illustration of the times of day in which the behavior is most likely to occur. Further assessment efforts would then focus on those times (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, pp. 248-250; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).
You put the baby down, walk to the next room, turn on the TV, and the baby starts crying, all within 10 seconds. Turn off the TV and the crying stops within a few seconds. What would you record as the CONSEQUENCE of crying?
turning on the TV
putting the baby down
turning off the TV
putting the baby down, walking to the next room, and turning on the TV
Turning off the TV followed the behavior.
Consequences are the result of behavior. Those that immediately follow the behavior are most likely to influence future occurrences of the behavior. In this example, turning off the TV was an immediate consequence. (Alberto & Troutman, 2003, p. 19; Miltenberger, 2001, p. 232; Michael, 1993; Neef & Peterson, 2007, pp. 506-509)

A scatter plot is most likely to yield useful information if
the individual is in a routine with little change of activity throughout the day.
the problem behavior tends to be episodic, rather than occurring daily.
the individual is in a routine with different things scheduled throughout the day.
the problem behavior is associated more with consequences than with antecedents.
the individual is in a routine with different things scheduled throughout the day.
A regular routine with activities scheduled throughout the day will yield a pattern over several days if the behavior is associated with specific activities.
A scatter plot is a grid upon which occurrences of behaviors are indicated as occurring not at all, a few times, or several times within intervals. A pattern of responding across days could yield a correlation between the behavior and the certain activities or individuals associated with those times (Iwata et al, 2000, p. 76; Neef & Peterson, 2007, p. 509).
A client with severe mental retardation is sitting alone when a peer enters the room with a spot of blood on his face from shaving. The sitting client then bangs her head. With a pained expression, she holds her head and looks at the peer. What would you record as the ANTECEDENT to head banging? peer enters room with blood on his face internal event no identifiable antecedent bleeding
peer enters room with blood on his face
