SPCE 630 SAFMEDS Exam Questions And
Answers 100% Pass
continuous measurement - Answer captures all occurrences of the behavior of interest
during an observation
discontinuous measurement - Answer does not capture all occurrences of the behavior
of interest during an observation
instead, only a sample of behavior is collected
permanent products - Answer lasting products of the behavior of interest
may be natural or contrived
rate - Answer the number of responses per unit of time, or frequency divided by unit of
time
frequency - Answer how many times a behavior occurs
trials to criterion - Answer -represents the number of trials or opportunities required for
some performance criterion to be met
-each opportunity is determined based on the target response
-for example, emitting the correct steps and sequence to perform a vocational task may
be considered one trial or opportunity
-duration -Answer how long a behavior occurs
interresponse time (IRT)-time elapsed from end of the previous response and the
beginning of the next response
latency-time between onset of some environmental event, e.g. discriminative stimulus,
, and target response
magnitude-strength, intensity, or force of behavior
whole interval recording - Response at the end of the interval the observer records
yes/+ if the behavior occurred for the WHOLE interval
this method is best for continuous or high rate behavior and behaviors you want to
increase
however, this method often underestimates the occurrence of behavior
partial interval recording - Response observer records yes/+ if the behavior occurred
AT ANY POINT in the interval
Often overestimates total duration and likely to underestimate the rate of
high-frequency behaviour
Momentary time sample - Answer The observer records yes / + if the behaviour is
occurring AT THE MOMENT the interval ends
However it both overestimates and underestimates with these errors being exacerbated
as intervals and observation periods increase in length
equal interval graph - Answer equal distances on the axis represent equal absolute
amounts of the variable plotted on the axis
cumulative record - Answer a graph in which the cumulative number of responses is
represented on the vertical axis with a steeper slope being indicative of a higher
response rate
line graph - Answer the most common graphic format with ABA
employs two-dimensional area that is formed by the intersection of two perpendicular
lines; any point on the plane represents a particular relation between the two
dimensions represented by the perpendicular lines
semilogarithmic charts-Answer a two-dimensional graph with a logarithmic scaled
y-axis so that equal distances on the vertical axis represent changes in behaviour that
