25
example of coding | levels of prompts (3)
- verbal prompt - gestural prompt - physical prompt
26
tools required to collect discrete categorization data (2)
- operational definition and instructions | - data sheet and writing instrument
27
%
a ratio that expresses the likelihood that some event would occur if given 100 opportunities to occur
28
in ABA % is commonly used for... (3)
- % of intervals - % occurrence - % correct responses
29
percent occurrence
(# responses/total # opportunities) x 100
30
tools required to collect % correct data (3)
- operational def and instructionns - including acceptable correct responses for calculating % correct - data sheet and writing instrument
31
discontinuous measures DO NOT...
capture every instance of behavior
32
discontinous measures are aka
time sampling
33
time sampling (3)
- most measure occurence vs non occurence - may miss instances of behavior - an estimate of behavior
34
Discontinuous measures and larger time samples
-for ALL discontinuous measures, a larger time sample is broken into smaller time intervals
35
Types of discontinous measures (4)
- partial interval recording (PIR) - whole interval recording (WIR) - momentary time sample (MTS) - PLACHECK
36
PIR (4)
- total recording time broken into smaller chunks of time - record if a response occurs at any time during each interval - behaviors that occur muliple times w/in an interval are scored only once - calculate the percent of intervals
37
tools required for PIR and WIR (3)
- operational def and instrunctions - data sheet w/ intervals and writing instrument - ways to measure time intervals
38
WIR (2)
- total recording time is broken into smaller chunks of time - record if a response occurs throughout the whole interval
39
diff between momentary time sampling and WIR
-with momentary time sampling only record if a response is occurring at the end of the interval
40
PLACHECK stands for
Planned Activity Check
41
PLACHECK | what it is
- total recoding time broken into smaller chunks | - record # of individuals engaged in the target response at the end of the interval (and how many total group members)
42
permanent products
-measuring the results of behavior or something behavior leaves behind
43
example of permanent products
diapers in trashcan vs times urinated
44
type of graphs commonly used
- bar graph | - equal-interval line graph
45
bar graphs are ideal for (2)
- comparing results among various individuals, groups, or categories - comparing unrelated variables
46
bar graphs commonly used for
displaying preference assessment results
47
equal interval line graphs (4)
- most common graph used in ABA - ideal for - showing changes of a measure over time - comparing related variables
48
parts of equal-interval line graph beyond x, y axis, and data points (3)
- data path - phase change lines and labels - figure legend
49
how are condition changes depicted on graphs
as a broken line on the graph
50
involves continous observation of the individual and directly measures characteristics of behavior
continous measurement
51
data path
the primary focus for anaylsis and interpretation on an equal-interval line graph
52
discontinuous measures
these types of measurement procedures are not intended to capture every instance of behavior but rather a sample of behavior
53
duration per occurence
the amount of time that each instance of the target behavior occurs
54
percent duration
calculated by dividing the amount of time the response lasted by the total time observed then multiplying by 100
55
percent occurence
calculated by dividing the number of target responses by the total # of opportunities to respond and multiplying by 100
56
total duration
cumulative amount of time an individual engages in the target behavior
57
x axis
states what response measure was used to measure the target response
58
when we record the time between the antecedent stimulus and when the response occurs, we are measuring
latency
59
momentary time sampling
- total recording time is broken into smaller chunks of time - record if a response is occurring at the end of the interval
60
when collecting momentary time sampling on body-rocking, which of the following are minaimal materials required (3)
- timer, clock - operational definition/ instrument - data sheet with inervals and pen
