, RBT Competency Assessment
Indirect Measurement
interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys
Direct Measurement
observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs
Behavioral Definitions
operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective + unambiguous, does not rely
on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good)
Operational
describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can recognize +
record the same behavior
Indirect Outcome Recording
measures results that produces an observable product in the environment. main
advantage is that it's easy to use
Direct Outcome Recording
instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the behavior occurs or as
it produces results
Event Recording
behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period, and each instance
of the behavior is recorded immediately as it occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the
behavior look the same every time? Does the behavior have a clear beginning and end?
Frequency Recording
used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number of times the
behavior occurs
Intensity
magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you are
trying to change)
Duration
how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a
behavior lasts
Latency
time that occurs between the SD and the response (ex. how long to respond to a peer's
question). You record this when the goal is to decrease the time between SD and
response
Partial Interval Recording
involves checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at ANY point within the interval -
even if it only occured for 1 second. You can use this for self-stimulatory behaviors or
behaviors that don't look the same every time. An overexaggeration of the behavior, you
use this method to decrease behavior.
Whole Interval Recording
involves checking off the interval if the behavior occurs throughout the WHOLE interval.
Use when it is difficult to tell when the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs at such a
high rate it is difficult to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this
method to increase behavior.
