BRM Final Exam Study Guide
CORRECT QUESTIONS & ANSWERS!!
Treatment Integrity - ANSWERthe extent to which an intervention is implemented as
intended and reliably occurs every single time it's supposed to occur.
Requirement of the independent variable so that causal statements can be made -
ANSWERTreatment Integrity
Requirements that causal statements can be
made based on replications when circumstances vary - ANSWERExternal Validity
Requirement of replications of treatments and
outcomes so that causal statements can be made - ANSWERInternal Validity
Requirement that consumers may have input
into goals, methods, and outcomes - ANSWERSocial Validity
Repeatability - ANSWERCounting behavior as it occurs through time
Duration - ANSWERThe amount of time that elapses from the onset of a response to
the offset of the same response
Temporal Locus - ANSWERmeasuring the point in time a behavior occurs with
respect to other events
Response Latency - ANSWERThe amount of time between some relevant stimulus
and the response
Count - ANSWERTally number of behavior occurrences
Frequency - ANSWERoccurrences in reference to a fixed amount of time
Rate - ANSWERfrequency as occurrences per unit time (discuss both correct and
incorrect responding)
Celeration - ANSWER-frequency of responding for a particular time unit divided by
that unit
-best used to describe dynamic behavior change patterns
Temporal Extent - ANSWERMeasuring the amount of time a behavior occurs
Interresponse Time (IRT) - ANSWERThe amount of time between two responses
Trials to Criterion - ANSWERThe number of times the person needs the opportunity
to engage in a behavior in order to reach some type of criterion.
, Magnitude/Intensity - ANSWERforce/strength of the response
Permanent Products - ANSWERThe actual physical, tangible things left in
environment after behavior occurs
Direct Observation - ANSWER-a measurement system that takes data at the
time/place the behavior occurs (watching behavior as it occurs)
-considered gold standard of measuring behaviors
Event Recording - ANSWERrecord the number of occurrences of a behavior
Permanent Product Recording - ANSWERevents of interest are recorded at the end
of a period of time or after some task is completed
Duration Recording - ANSWERThe most direct measure; documents amount of time
that elapses between the onset of an event and the end of the same event
Latency Recording - ANSWERthe time between the onset of a stimulus/behavior and
the subsequence onset of the target responses is recorded.
Time Sampling - ANSWERdivide observation interval into very small intervals of time
and record whether or not the behavior occurs or does not occur during each specific
interval
Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER-behavior must occur for entire interval in order
for it to be scored as occurring during that interval
-typically only used when behavior has long duration
Partial Interval Recording - ANSWERbehavior has to occur at a certain time or for a
certain time during the interval
Momentary Time Sampling - ANSWERat the end of each interval we record whether
the behavior is occurring or not
Momentary Interval Recording - ANSWERonly a part of the entire interval is
observed
Which axis in a graph shows the information about measuring the dependent
variables? - ANSWERVertical Axis (Y)
Which axis in a graph has information about measures of time, experimental values
or conditions? - ANSWERHorizontal Axis (X)
Trend - ANSWERslope of change in performance (i.e. increase/decrease/flat)
Variability - ANSWER-degree of variation in data within phase
-How different or 'spread out' the scares are from each other
Level - ANSWER-average/mean performance within a phase
