Module 1 Measurement – ABA Study Guide with Verified Solutions

Module 1 Measurement – ABA Study Guide with Verified Solutions Behavior - Correct Answer️️ -a reaction to something that happened in the environment Data Collection - Correct Answer️️ -Assist with: - on-going program monitoring - data-based decision making - optimizing treatment effectiveness - evidence based practice - accountability with consumers and referral sources - ensuring ethical standards Measureable Dimensions of Behavior - Correct Answer️️ -Repeatability: Behaviors that repeatably occur within a period of time (COUNT) Temporal Extent: Instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time (DURATION) Temporal Losus: Instance of behavior occurs during a specific point in time (LATENCY/IRT) TITLE: EMILLYCHARLOTTE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC PERIOD OWNER: EMILLYCHARLOTTE COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: ©2024 EMILLYCHARLOTTE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 2024 2/13 Types of Measurement - Correct Answer️️ -Continuous Measurement Procedures: measurement in which ALL possible responses can be detected during an observation period, it is accurate but not the most practical, example - throughout the whole session (2 hours) constantly taking data on the child Discontinuous Measurement Procedures: Incomplete measurement in which all responses during periods of observation are not recorded, example - taking data on a child ONLY during math and science periods during the school day Permanent Product: Measurement takes place after the behavior has occurred by measuring the effects of the behavior, example - student completes math worksheet Types of Continuous Measurement - Correct Answer️️ -Event Recording - Count - Rate or Frequency Duration Latency Inter-response time (IRT) TITLE: EMILLYCHARLOTTE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC PERIOD OWNER: EMILLYCHARLOTTE COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: ©2024 EMILLYCHARLOTTE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 2024 3/13 Event Recording - Count - Correct Answer️️ -type of measurement procedure that is used to measure how many time a behavior happens/occurs, example - the number of time a students bites considerations - behaviors measured MUST have a clear onset (beginning) and offset (end) of behavior (beginning and end) - observation period/counting time MUST always be noted when you are reporting count data - observation period/counting time MUST be constant across observations to compare data across observations Event Recording: Rate/Frequency - Correct Answer️️ -measuring a ration of count (number of responses) over time (observation period) can be per minute, hour, or day example - Day 1: 8/1 hr. = 8 per hour ; Day 2: 10/ 3hr = 3.3 per hour TITLE: EMILLYCHARLOTTE 2024/2025 ACADEMIC PERIOD OWNER: EMILLYCHARLOTTE COPYRIGHT STATEMENT: ©2024 EMILLYCHARLOTTE. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED FIRST PUBLISHED: SEPTEMBER 2024 4/13 Duration Recording - Correct Answer️️ -an observational recording system in which one notates the length of time a behavior occurs total length of time that a behavior occurs/happens consider - the how long or short the behaviors are, if they are task oriented or continuous, if the behavior happen at a high rate, and is the behavior difficult to record. Latency Recording - Correct Answer️️ -Observations involving the amount of time that elapses from the presentation of a stimulus until the response occurs. (measuring between the presentation to the occurrence of the behavior) keep in mind when yo start recording - need to start recording right after the stimulus is presented or direction is given and stop recording as soon as behavior begins Interesponse Time (IRT) - Correct Answer️️ -measurement in-between behaviors example - beginning of 1st behavior - IRT - beginning of second
