(Just Released)
Describe how to prepare for data collection ✔Correct Answer-Have visuals and data sheets
organized and ready for data collection. Prepare your workspace in advance. Make sure to acquire
necessary tools (clipboard, clicker , notepad)
Implement continuous measurement procedures (frequency, duration) ✔Correct Answer-
Frequency- the number of times a behavior occurs during a time span. Duration- how long the
behavior lasts from start to finish. (typically use frequency at Sendan)
Implement discontinuous measurement procedures ✔Correct Answer-partial interval, whole
interval, momentary time sampling
Partial interval recording ✔Correct Answer-An occurrence of behavior is recorded if it takes place
at any time during the observation interval; it does not need to span the entire interval. (screaming);
tends to overestimate behavior
momentary time sampling ✔Correct Answer-an occurrence of the target behavior is recorded if it
occurs at the moment the interval ends. This behavior tracking method is useful for behaviors that
can persist for awhile (e.g., in-seat behavior, stereotypy, and nail biting). Should be a pre-determined
increment (eg. every 3 minutes)
whole interval recording ✔Correct Answer-the target behavior must span the complete length of
the observation interval. An example would be on-task behavior. Tends to underestimate behavior
Implement permanent product recording measurement procedures ✔Correct Answer-Any
environmental effect that results from a behavior can be measured as a permanent
product.Designed to track an enduring outcome of behavior (number of math problems completed,
postcard made, coloring page finished)
Enter data and update graphs ✔Correct Answer-Be able to summarize and graph data within 15-20
minutes, write an objective and behavioral summary of major session points, use a program
checklist. Sendan uses line graphs.
Define and provide examples of behavior and the environment in observable and measurable terms.
✔Correct Answer-Behavior must be operationally defined. Describing behavior as simply behavior
allows it to be observed, and therefore measured. ABC narrative data format can help define
behaviors
single stimulus preference assessments ✔Correct Answer-A stimulus is presented and the person's
reaction to it is noted. May best be suited for individuals with trouble selecting from two or more
stimuli.
paired stimulus preference assessment ✔Correct Answer-Each trial in the paired choice preference
assessment consists of the simultaneous presentation of two stimuli. Each stimulus is matched with
all other stimuli in the set. The observer notes which stimulus the earner chooses. The stimuli are
, rank-ordered in terms of high, medium, and low preference based on how many times a stimuli is
chosen. Also Known As: Forced Choice.
Free operant observations ✔Correct Answer-Observing and recording what activities the target
person engages in when she can choose during a period of unrestricted access to numerous
activities.
multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) ✔Correct Answer-an individual makes choices
between multiple stimuli, and each chosen stimulus is subsequently eliminated from the choice
array.
multiple stimulus with replacement (MSW) ✔Correct Answer-an individual makes choices between
multiple stimuli, and after a choice is made the stimulus is subsequently replaced before trialed
again.
Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures (e.g., curriculum-based,
developmental, social skills.) ✔Correct Answer-Conduct probes to gain an understanding of the
child's abilities. May involve running discrete trials without reinforcement. (eg. what is this? about
different community members to see what the child knows)
Assist with functional assessment procedures. ✔Correct Answer-A CBT may be asked to complete
ABC narrative data as part of the assessment. Typically, the behavior specialist will be responsible for
gathering information about the client and behavior from other sources such as interviews with
parents, peers, and/or teachers. Report, IEP and other document reviews represent additional
indirect methods of information gathering.
Identify the essential components of a written skill acquisition plan. ✔Correct Answer-program
name (skill being targeted), materials needed, SD, operational definitions of correct and incorrect
responses (CR, IR), consequences for CR and IR, how data is collected, prompt levels on the way to
mastery, mastery criterion
Describe how to prepare for the session as required by the skill acquisition plan ✔Correct Answer-
Read and review the program, look over current data sheet, gather necessary materials, be
comfortable with BIP and how to record novel behaviors
Rules of reinforcer effectiveness ✔Correct Answer-delivered contingent upon desired behavior,
delivered immediately after behavior occurred, reinforcer must be of worthwhile amount, satiation
and deprivation
use of reinforcement ✔Correct Answer-use behavior specific phrases (I love how you asked for
help!), pair praise with social or primary reinforcement, limit time/access to reinforcer,
Use contingencies of reinforcement (e.g., conditioned/ unconditioned reinforcer,
continuous/intermittent schedules.) ✔Correct Answer-Unconditioned- one does not need to learn
to like it (food), Conditioned- items or activities one learns to like (praise). continuous- reinforcement
follows every occurrence, intermittent- reinforcement follows only some occurrences
Implement discrete trial training procedures. ✔Correct Answer-a. Completion of a teaching trial: 1.
present SD 2. child responds 3. deliver reinforcer or informational feedback 4. record data from trial.
b. Present SD clearly and concisely in a neutral tone.
