Update (I Scored A+)
Indirect Measurement - CORRECT ANS>>interviews, rating scales, questions,
surveys
Direct Measurement - CORRECT ANS>>observation of the behavior and
recording it as it occurs
Behavioral Definitions - CORRECT ANS>>operational, includes verbs
describing behavior, objective + unambiguous, does not rely on internal
states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good)
Operational - CORRECT ANS>>describes what the behavior looks like so two
independent observers can recognize + record the same behavior
Indirect Outcome Recording - CORRECT ANS>>measures result that
produces an observable product in the environment. main advantage is that
it's easy to use
Direct Outcome Recording - CORRECT ANS>>instead of relying on memory
data is gathered immediately as the behavior occurs or as it produces results
, Event Recording - CORRECT ANS>>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 - CORRECT ANS>>used for behaviors that have a clear
beginning and end, tally the number of times the behavior occurs
Intensity - CORRECT ANS>>magnitude or force of response (only record if this
is the aspect of the behavior you are trying to change)
Duration - CORRECT ANS>>how long a behavior persists, should be used if
you are trying to decrease how long a behavior lasts
Latency - CORRECT ANS>>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 - CORRECT ANS>>involves checking off an interval
if the behavior occurs at ANY point within the interval - even if it only occurred
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 - CORRECT ANS>>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
