time - ANS ✔✔A line graph shows change over ______ and only shows days on which data was
collected.
2:3 - ANS ✔✔A line graph should have a scale of ____ between the y-axis and x-axis.
Momentary Time Sampling - ANS ✔✔Recording whether the target behavior is occurring at the moment
each time interval ends.
environment - ANS ✔✔Measurement by permanent product is done by the effects on the _____.
frequency - ANS ✔✔Momentary time sampling is not recommended for low- _____ or short-duration
behaviors.
Momentary Time Sampling - ANS ✔✔Interval recording that doesn't require continuous attending to
measurement.
Momentary Time Sampling - ANS ✔✔The teacher records if Nia is out of her seat the second the timer
goes off for the interval.
after - ANS ✔✔Measurement by permanent product is done ____ the behavior occurs.
Partial Interval Recording - ANS ✔✔The interval is counted if the behavior occurs at any point during the
interval.
measurement by permanent product - ANS ✔✔The therapist measured Nia's tantrums in the library by
how many books are on the floor.
observed value - ANS ✔✔The ____ _____ is what researchers record, while the true value is what exists
in nature.
observed label - ANS ✔✔The quantitative label produced by measuring an event.
dependent variable - ANS ✔✔The ____ _____ is the variable measured.
individual - ANS ✔✔PLACHECK records the behavior of ____ organisms in a larger forum at the end of an
interval.
underestimates - ANS ✔✔Whole-interval recording ____ the overall percentage that the behavior
actually occurred.
interpret - ANS ✔✔Analysts use graphs to organize, store, ______, and communicate the results of their
work.
, observed value - ANS ✔✔It is 5 miles from my house to the park but my odometer shows 4.6 miles. 4.6
miles is the ____ ____.
observer drift - ANS ✔✔When observers erroneously alter the way they apply a measurement system.
dependent variable - ANS ✔✔When measuring the effects of mand training on spontaneous mands ,
spontaneous mands are the _____ _____.
cumulative - ANS ✔✔A cumulative record is a graph in which the ____ number of responses emitted is
represented on the vertical axis.
dimension - ANS ✔✔A line graph shows data scaled along some ____ such as time, in a sequence.
phenomena - ANS ✔✔Measurement is applying quantitiatve or qualitative labels to events, ____, or
observed properties.
whole-interval recording - ANS ✔✔The interval is counted if the behavior occurs throughout the entire
interval.
true value - ANS ✔✔The observed value is what reseachers record, while the ____ is what exists in
nature.
true value - ANS ✔✔A quantitiative description of the true state of some dimensional quantity of an
event as it exists in nature.
PLACHECK (planned activity check) - ANS ✔✔Uses head counts to tally on-task behavior at the moment
an interval ends.
measurement - ANS ✔✔Attaching a number representing a dimensional quality to the appropriate unit.
time - ANS ✔✔Data collected with ____ sampling may produce an artifact.
observer reactivity - ANS ✔✔The observer for Nia knows there are multiple observers and anticipates
how others might record the behavior.
independent - ANS ✔✔The variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher.
true value - ANS ✔✔it is 5 miles from my house to the park but my odometer shows 4.6 miles. 5 miles is
the ____.
true value - ANS ✔✔Nia is 56 inches but her doctor records 50 inches. 56 is the ____ _____.
longer - ANS ✔✔The _______ the observation intervals, the more likley whole-interval recording will
underestimate actual occurrence.
inappropriate - ANS ✔✔Choosing a(n) ______ time sampling procedure may produce an artifact.
influenced - ANS ✔✔Observers can be _____ by the knowledge that others are evaluating their data.
