8) calculate frequency/rate per hour and minute for a behavior that occurred
120 times over a 2 hour observation - answer 60 per hour, 1 per
minute
,9) partial-interval recording is... - answer When the behavior must occur
at least once during the interval to be recorded
10) Whole-interval recording is.... - answer when the behavior must
occur for the entire interval to be recorded.
11) Momentary time sampling is.... - answer when the behavior
must be occurring at the end of the interval to be recorded.
12) Inter-response time is... - answer The time between the end of
one instance of the behavior and the beginning of the next occurrence of
behavior.
13) which recording method would you expect to use when a target
behavior is set to increase? - answer whole-interval recording
14) Which recording method would you expect to use when a target
behavior is set to decrease? - answer Partial-interval recording
15) true or false? Partial interval recording has the tendency to under-
estimate the frequency of a target behavior while whole interval recording
has the tendency to over-estimate the frequency of the target behavior? -
answer False
16) Which of the following are examples of "permanent products" that

, 19) Define behavior: - answer The activity of living organisms;

20) define environment: - answer the conglomerate of real
circumstances in which the organism or references part of the organism
exists; behavior cannot occur in the absence of environment.
21) List the four functions of behavior: - answer Social positive
(attention/access), Social negative (escaping), Automatic Positive
(sensory stimulation), Automatic Negative (pain attenuation)
22) A client gets out of his seat every time a demand is placed. When
he gets out of his seat his teacher says, "Oh you need a break", and does
not follow through with her demand. This client's out of seat behavior
most likely serves what function? - answer Social negative (escape)
23) A client frequently spits. You notice that he spits during work
times, when he is on a break, when he is playing with his favorite toys,
during meal times, when you or someone else is directly engaged with
him, and even when he is by himself. One day mom brings the client back
from the dentist where he had to get 6 cavities filled. After this dentist
appointment the spitting stopped. What function does spitting most likely
serve? - answer Automatic negative (pain attenuation)
24) Every time his mother removes items from him, a client engages in
a tantrum. Mom tries to ignore him but after around five minutes mom
gives him back the item she removed and the tantrum immediately stops.
What function is most likely maintaining the tantrums? - answer
Social Positive (attention/access)
