Continuous Measurement Correct Answer: Recording data on all instances of specified behavior, such as through frequency, duration, latency, and IRT
Frequency Correct Answer: How many times a behavior occurs
e.g. Manding
Duration Correct Answer: How long a behavior lasts
e.g. tantrum
Latency Correct Answer: The time delay between the SD and the R
Inter-Response Time (IRT) Correct Answer: The measure of elapsed time between
two successive responses
e.g. Bob clapped once, then clapped again 2 seconds later
Discontinuous Measurement Correct Answer: Recording data on some instances of behavior, such as through whole-interval, partial-interval, momentary time sampling, percentage of occurrence, trials to criterion, discrete categorization, and permanent product Partial Interval Recording Correct Answer: 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
Whole Interval Recording Correct Answer: 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
Momentary Time Sampling Correct Answer: Records whether the target behavior is occurring at the moment that each time interval ends
Percentage of Occurrence Correct Answer: Measures how many responses occur out of a number of opportunities
Trials to Criterion Correct Answer: Measures of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance
Discrete Categorization Correct Answer: Classifying responses into discrete categories e.g. severity, duration, independence/prompting codes
Permanent Product Correct Answer: Measuring behavior after it has occurred by measuring the effects the behavior produced on the environment
