Module 4 Flashcards
Frequency
A tally of the number of times the behavior occurs in a given period of time
Rate
Frequency/Time
Discrete Categorization
A list of responses that may represent a category of interest that can be independently scored
Interval Recording
Recording of behavior in a period, divided into small intervals
Duration
The amount of time that the response is performed
Latency
The amount of time that elapses between a cue and a response
Self-Report Measures
Individual’s own rating or evaluation of the problem or some domain that is the focus of an intervention
Continuous Measurement
The recording of all instances of the behavior of interest over the course of an observation
Discontinuous Measurement
The obtaining of a sample of behavior during various intervals of an observation period
Partial-Interval Recording
A type of discontinuous measurement that records that the behavior occurred during an interval if it happens at any point during the interval.
Whole-Interval Recording
A type of discontinuous measurement that records that the behavior occurred during an interval if it happens throughout the interval
Momentary Time Sampling
A type of discontinuous measurement procedure where you check to see if the behavior is occurring only at the end of a predetermined interval.
Natural Tasks
Tasks performed under unstructured, everyday conditions
Contrived Tasks
Structured tasks meant to evoke a behavior that may not occur (very frequently)
Natural Environment
Setting in which a client ordinarily functions
