Front 4

Why type of measurement recording is all about the number?

Back 4

Event recording

Front 5

With event recording, the behavior must be discrete, meaning it must have a _____ and a(n) _____. Also, the behavior should not occur at a _____ or for a(n) ______

Back 5

beginning and an end

High rate or for extended period of time

Front 6

With event recording you must be able to _____ the data.

Back 6

count

Front 7

True or false: If the data happens too fast, event recording will not work

Back 7

True

Front 8

With event recording, you must be able to see it from _____ to _____

Back 8

beginning to end

Front 9

True or false: an example of event recording would be tying your shoe

Back 9

True

Front 10

True or false: an example of event recording would be paying attention

Back 10

False, cant measure that, and everyone has different idea of what paying attention is.

Front 11

the 4 sources that can influence the accuracy of measurement are _____

Back 11

Reactivity
Observer drift
complexity of the measurement system
Observer expectations and feedback

Front 12

_____ is when behavior changes because the person is being watched.

Back 12

Reactivity

Front 13

True or false: When a person's behavior changes because they know they are being watched, you should pause for a minute until they aren't looking and then start collecting data again

Back 13

False, keep collecting the whole time

Front 14

_____ is straying from the main point of data. This is when you count things you shouldn't count.

Back 14

Observer drift. Don't allow yourself to stray from the main points.

Front 15

_____ is knowing when to use measurement system and when to simplify the system.

Back 15

Complexity of the measurement system

Front 16

_____ is not telling students what your are doing. During this time, don't layout your expectations ahead of time to the child because is will change their behavior.

Back 16

Observer expectations and feedback

Front 17

Know: Permanent product recording

Not all behaviors leave a permanent change in the environment

Each occurrence of the behavior should result in the same ending product.

Only the target behavior can produce the result.

Back 17

Know

Front 18

Could you use permanent product recording for recording pushups that someone did at home?

Back 18

No

Front 19

Can you use permanent product recording for how many dishes are in the dishwasher?

Back 19

Yes

Front 20

Duration recording provides data on what three things?

Back 20

Number, duration, and total duration of each occurrence

Front 21

Which recording should be used when you see the start to finish?

Back 21

Duration

Front 22

_____ is appropriate when the major concern is the length of time that occurs between an opportunity to emit a behavior and the actual beginning of the behavior

Back 22

Latency recording

Front 23

"Ready, set go" --> until the start of the behavior, describes which type of recording?

Back 23

Latency

Front 24

Which recording would this example describe:

Running time at rec, supposed to go at 7, but dont go until 10.

Back 24

Latency

Front 25

Interval techniques give _____

Back 25

Estimates

Front 26

What two types of recording do you use when the behavior is continuous, happening too frequently to accurately count, or for an extended period of time.

Back 26

Partial and whole interval recording

Front 27

True or false:

Partial and whole interval recording will produce an exact count of the presence of the behavior

Back 27

False; It will produce an over- or under estimation

Front 28

partial and whole intervals can only be done between a _____ span and a _____ span

Back 28

5 second
59 second

Front 29

Partial will give a over/under estimate of target behavior?

Back 29

Over

Front 30

Whole will give a over/under estimate of target behavior?

Back 30

Under

Front 31

Out of partial, whole, and momentary time sampling, which will give you the truest estimate? this doesnt mean its the best or most accurate, but its the truest.

Back 31

Momentary time sampling

Front 32

Name the three things about momentary time sampling

Back 32

its not appropriate for low rate behaviors

Easy to use and will not interfere with other activites

Can be used with either individual or group behaviors

Front 33

What is the time span that you can use momentary time sampling with?

Back 33

1 minute and longer

Front 34

If you want to know how many times the behavior will happen, which measurement technique will you use?

Back 34

Event recording

Front 35

If you want to know how long will the behavior happen, which measurement technique will you use?

Back 35

Duration

Front 36

If you want to know the amount of time between an opportunity to respond and the initiation of the behavior, which measurement technique will you use?

Back 36

latency

Front 37

If you want to know an estimate of the occurrence of the behavior, which measurement technique will you use?

Back 37

partial, whole, or momentary time sampling

Front 38

if you want to know the number of times a behavior happens and you are present to see it happen, which measurement technique will you use?

Back 38

event

Front 39
