|
artifact
|
an outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured but in fact does not correspond to what actually occurred.
|
|
|
celeration
|
the change (acceleration or deceleration) in rate of responding over time; based on count per unit of time.
|
|
|
celebration trend line
|
the celeration trend line is measured as a factor by which rate multiplies or divides across the celeration time periods (rate per week, rate per month, rate per year)
|
|
|
count
|
a simple tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior
|
|
|
discrete trial
|
any operant whose response rate is controlled by a given opportunity to emit the response
|
|
|
duration
|
a measure of the total extent of time in which a behavior occurs
|
|
|
event recording
|
measurement procedure for obtaining a tally or count of the number of times a behavior occurs
|
|
|
free operant
|
any operant behavior that results in minimal displacement of the participant in time and space. Can be emitted at any time
|
|
|
frequency
|
a ratio of count per observation time, often expressed as count per standard unit of time and calculated by dividing the number or responses recorded by the number of standard units of time in which observations were conducted
|
|
|
interresponse time (IRT)
|
a measure of temporal locus; defined as the elapsed time between two successive responses
|
|
|
magnitude
|
the force or intensity with which a response is emitted
|
|
|
measurement by permanent product
|
a method of measuring behavior after it has occurred by recording the effects that the behavior produced on the environment
|
|
|
momentary time sampling
|
a measurement method in which the presence or absence of behaviors are recorded at precisely specific time intervals
|
|
|
partial-interval recording
|
a time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals. The observer records whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval.
|
|
|
planned activity check (PLACHECK)
|
a variation of momentary time sampling in which the observer records whether each person a groups is engaged in the target behavior at specific points
|
|
|
rate
|
a ratio of count per observation time
|
|
|
repeatability
|
refers to the fact that a behavior can occur repeatedly through time
|
|
|
response latency
|
a measure of temporal locus; the elapsed time from the onset of the stimulus to the initiation of the response
|
|
|
temporal extent
|
refers to the fact that every instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time
|
|
|
temporal locus
|
at a certain point in time with respect to other events.
|
|
|
time sampling
|
a measurement of the presence or absence of behavior within specific time intervals. Useful with continuous and high rate behaviors
|
|
|
topography
|
the physical form or shape of a behavior
|
|
|
trials by criterion
|
a special form of event recording; a measure of the number of responses or practice opportunities needed for a person to achieve a pre-established level of accuracy or proficiency
|
|
|
whole interval recording
|
a time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals. The observer records whether the behavior occurred during the entire interval; tends to underestimate the proportion of the observation period that many behaviors actually occurred
|
|
|
What are the 3 measurable dimensions of behavior?
|
*Repeatability
*Temporal extent *Temporal locus |
