|
Condition Change Line
|
line between treatment intervals
|
|
|
Cumulative Record
|
A type of graph on which the cumulative number of responses emitted is represented on the vertical axis; the steeper the slope of the data path, the greater the response rate
|
|
|
Data Path
|
The level and trend of behavior between successive data points; created by drawing a straight line from the center of each data point in a given data set to the center of the next data point in the same set
|
|
|
Data Point
|
The symbol on the graph that is representative of the gathered data
|
|
|
Equal-Interval Vertical Axis
|
graphs are described as the distance between any two consecutive points on the y-axis is always the same.
|
|
|
Figure Legend
|
Key to what the symbols represent on a graph
|
|
|
Line Graph
|
Graph that consists of two axes that represent time and behaviors, in which data points are connected by a line
|
|
|
Line of Best Fit
|
A line averaging out the data points on a scatter plot that shows a trend in the data
|
|
|
Mean Level Line
|
Line that depicts the average of data points
|
|
|
Median Level Line
|
Line that depicts the data that follows directly in the middle of a collection
|
|
|
Phase Change Line
|
Dotted line that separates treatment phases
|
|
|
Scale Break
|
Symbol that shows a change in the number scale on an axis
|
|
|
Semilogarithmic Chart
|
way of visualizing data that are changing with an exponential relationship. One axis is plotted on a logarithmic scale. This kind of plot is useful when one of the variables being plotted covers a large range of values and the other has only a restricted range – the advantage being that it can bring out features in the data that would not easily be seen if both variables had been plotted linearly
|
|
|
Standard Celeration Chart
|
A multiply-divide chart with six base-10 (multiply or divide by 10) cycles on the vertical axis that can accommodate response rates as low as 1 per 24 hours to as high as 1,000/minute. It enables the standardized charting of celeration, a factor by which rate of behavior multiplies or divides per unit of time
|
|
|
Trend
|
the overall direction taken by a data path; described in terms of direction (increasing, decreasing, or zero trend), degree (gradual or steep), and the extent of variability of data points around the trend; can be used to predict future amounts
|
|
|
Variability
|
The frequency and extent to which multiple measures of behavior yield different outcomes
|
|
|
Visual Analysis
|
A systematic approach for interpreting the results of behavioral research and treatment programs that entails visual inspection of graphed data for variability, level, and trend within and between experimental conditions
