Chapter 4 Flashcards
(24 cards)
artifact
a phenomenon that appears to exist because of the way it is examined or measured.
celeration
measures the change in the increase or decrease of a response
count
tally of how often something happen
discrete triaIs
a contrived opportunity to give a response.
duration
from the time the behavior starts, until the time it stops
event recording
the method of recording the number of times a behavior occurred
free operant
Behaviors that are free to occur at anytime and have a clear beginning and end
interresponse time (IRT)
the amount of that that passes between occurrences of a behavior
latency
the amount of time between the stimulus present and the response’
magnitude
the intensity of a behavior
measurement
applying a quantitative label to on observable event
measurement by permanent product
measuring the behavior after it occurred by measure the behaviors effect on the Environment
momentary time sampling
look at the client one time every minute for 5 minutes, when you looked was the behavior occurring?
partial-interval recording
did a behavior occur at any point during a given time interval
percentage
number of times something occurred over the number of opportunities
planned activity check (PLACHECK)
observes a group of students at the end of each time interval, counts the number of students engaged in the targeted activity, and records the tally with the total number of students in the group.
rate
the number of times something happen in a period or total number or attempts
repeatability
Each instance of a behavior can be counted over and over again
temporal extent
duration, how long something occurred
time sampling
a variety of methods for observing and recording behavior during a specific moments
topography
the shape of a behavior
trials-to-criterion
the number of times it take for you to do something to do it correctly.
whole-interval recording
did the behavior occur throughout this entire time interval?
Temporal locus
what specific time it happen
