C. Measurement, Data Display, and Interpretation

Question 1

Direct Measures

Answer 1

Measuring the actual behavior of interest as it is occurring

Question 2

Indirect Measures

Answer 2

Measuring behavior through a secondhand account of what actually happened

Question 3

Product Measures

Answer 3

Measuring behavior by looking at the changes on the environment after it occurred

Question 4

Dimensional Quantities of Behavior

Answer 4

-Repeatability/Countability
-Temporal Extent (duration)
-Temporal Locus (latency and IRT)

Question 5

Count Data (Frequency)

Answer 5

Number of times behavior occurs

Question 6

Rate Data

Answer 6

Number of occurrences in a given period of time

Question 7

Celeration Data

Answer 7

Measurement of changes in rate over time
-Rate divided by time

Question 8

Derivative Measures

Answer 8

Measurement derived from the repeatability dimensional quantities
-Percentage
-Trials to criterion

Answer 9

Number of responses needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance

Question 10

Definitional Measures

Answer 10

-Magnitude
-Topography

Question 11

Latency

Answer 11

Time between presentation of a stimulus and onset of behavior

Question 12

Interresponse Time (IRT)

Answer 12

Time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a behavior

Question 13

Continuous Measurement

Answer 13

-Duration
-Frequency
-Rate
-IRT
-Latency

Question 14

Discontinuous Measurement

Answer 14

-Whole Interval
-Partial Interval
-Momentary Time Sampling

Question 15

Whole Interval Recording

Answer 15

-Record if behavior occurred throughout the entire interval
-Risks underestimation

Question 16

Partial Interval Recording

Answer 16

-Record if behavior occurred at any time during the interval
-Risks overestimation

Question 17

Momentary Time Sampling

Answer 17

-Record if the behavior is occurring at the end of the interval
-Underestimates

Question 18

Planned Activity Check

Answer 18

-Type of momentary time sampling
-Recording behavior of a group

Question 19

Cost Benefit Analysis

Answer 19

Weighing the difference between the cost of implementing an intervention

Question 20

Training Duration

Answer 20

Predicted time that will be needed to train an individual to reach a specified level of performance

Question 21

Trustworthy Measurement

Answer 21

-Validity
-Accuracy
-Reliability

Question 22

Validity

Answer 22

Measurement that produces data is applicable and specific to the target behavior

Question 23

Reliability

Answer 23

Repeating a measurement procedure produces the same result

Question 24

Accuracy

Answer 24

The extent to which the observed value matches the true state or true value of the event

Question 25

Interobserver Agreement (IOA)

Answer 25

Degree to which two or more observers report the same values
