ABA Assessment Study Guide with Complete
Solutions 2024/2025
Prepare for Data Collection - Correct Answer 1. Read data from last session
2. Prepare material and programs for current session based on data from last session.
3. Determine what programs you plan to work on during the session.
4. Gather materials for those programs.
5. Set up the first set of programs so they are ready for the client when you begin your session.
Continuous Measurements - Correct Answer 1.) Count/Frequency
2.) Rate
3.) Duration
4.) Latency
5.) IRT
6.) Percentage
7.) Intensity
Continuous Measurement: Count/Frequency - Correct Answer Tally # of occurrences
-Discrete behaviors and observation time is consistent
Continuous Measurement: Rate - Correct Answer ratio of count per time
- # of responses & duration
-Discrete behaviors and observations that are diff lengths of time
EX: behavior happens across diff sessions and school days— e.g.: 3 hrs 1 day, 6 hrs
Continuous Measurement: Duration - Correct Answer Amount of time that the behavior occurs for.
- Can be recorded as total duration or duration per occurrence
-Recording Device
-Behaviors that have high rates of frequency that make counting difficult or behaviors that vary in
duration
, Continuous Measurement: Latency - Correct Answer Time elapsed between antecedent and
response
-Recording Device
-When the observer needs to know how long it takes to start the behavior
EXAMPLE: "do this" or a direction given - how long does it take for learner to start?
Continuous Measurement: IRT - Correct Answer Time elapsed between two responses
-Recording Device
-Behaviors that we are seeking to increase/decrease the amount of time between each instance
Ex. Increasing IRT between getting out of seat at school
Continuous Measurement: Percentage - Correct Answer # of responses correct over total number of
responses/opportunities
-Identifying accuracy of the behavior
Continuous Measurement: Intensity - Correct Answer Force in which the behavior is expressed
-Rating Scale
-Behaviors that occur at varying levels of force.
Ex. Aggression level 1 = contact but level 4 =
bruise/broken skin OR high, medium, low
Discontinuous Measurement Procedures - Correct Answer -Partial Interval Recording- Records if
behavior occurs at any time during the interval
-Whole Interval Recording- Records if behavior occurred throughout the interval
-Momentary Time Sampling-Records if behavior is
occurring at the moment that each interval ends
Discontinuous Measurement: Partial Interval - Correct Answer Records if behavior occurs at any time
during the interval
Pros: used to decrease behavior
