2nd Ed M6 Q&A
Continuous measures - (correct answer)These types of measurement procedures are
designed to detect every instance of behavior (2 words)
Frequency - (correct answer)The number of times a response occurs (simple count)
Rate - (correct answer)The number of responses per unit of time
Duration - (correct answer)A continuous form of data collection that is a measure of the
length of a response
Total duration - (correct answer)Cumulative amount of time an individual engages in the
target behavior (2 words)
Duration per occurrence - (correct answer)The amount of time that each instance of the
target behavior occurs (3 words)
Percent duration - (correct answer)Calculated by dividing the amount of time the
response(s) lasted by the total time observed, then multiplying by 100 (2 words)
Latency - (correct answer)The amount of time between an antecedent stimulus and a
response
Inter-response time (IRT) - (correct answer)The time between two successive
responses (3 words)
Discrete categorization - (correct answer)Classifying responses, prompts, or products of
behavior based on a coding system (2 words)
