|
|
|
believability
|
The extent to which the researcher convinces herself and others that the data are trustworthy and deserve interpretation. Measures of interobserver agreement (IOAA) are the most often used index of believability in applied behavior analysis.
|
|
|
calibration
|
any procedure used to evaluate the accuracy of a measurement system and when sources of error are found, to use that information to correct or improve the measurement system.
|
|
|
continuous measurement
|
Measurement conducted in a manner such that all instances of the response class of interest are detected during the observation period.
|
|
|
direct measurement
|
occurs when the behavior that is measured is the same as the behavior that is the focus of the investigation.
|
|
|
discontinuous measurement
|
measurement conducted in a manner such that some circumstances may not be detected
|
|
|
exact count per interval IOA
|
the percentage of total intervals in which two observers recorded the same count; the most stringent description of IOA for most data sets obtained by event recording.
