Levels of Measurement
Types of Measures
SSD's
Interventions
Baselines
100
The level of measurement based on categories.
What is nominal?
100
Standardized, Observational, Individual Rating Scales, and Client Logs.
What are the four main types of measures?
100
When there is a change in the area of concern we use these.
What is different types of SSD's?
100
This type if designs is a single phase design.
What is B design?
100
When one needs to evaluate a situation where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable, researchers may use this.
What is multiple baseline designs?
200
The level of measurement that puts categories in a certain order.
What is Ordinal?
200
We strive for this in any measurement.
What is accuracy and consistency?
200
When the relationship is between SSD's is non-spurious and has a time interval between one variable and the other it is considered what?
What is causal?
200
AB Design has this many phases.
What is two phases?
200
This is a period of time during which an outcome is measured repeatedly in the absence of the intervention.
What is baselining?
300
The level of measurement that measures in equal intervals.
What is Interval?
300
This type of error can be random or systematic.
What is measurement error?
300
When a relationship exists between two variables we call it this.
What is causal?
300
This type of design allows for evaluation of pre-intervention and intervention problem status.
What is ABA design.
300
Baselines are useful because they provide a(n) ______ of what would happen to the client without intervention.
What is estimate?
400
The level of measurement that has a zero point.
What is Scale?
400
These are reliable, valid, sensitive to change, non-reactive, direct, easy to use, accessible, and relevant to intervention planning.
What are characteristics of good measures?
400
When there is a functional relationship between the intervention and the observed change we use these.
What is different types of SSD's
400
When an individual's behavior is too severe to determine a baseline, the researcher may have to utilize this type of design.
What is BAB design?
400
Baselines ensure control similar to this kind of group in experimental designs.
What is control group?
500
Validity, Reliability, Measurement Error, Utility, and Directness.
What is key characteristics of measures?
500
This is used to quantify internal consistency/reliability.
What is coefficient alpha and cronbach alpha?
500
We use different types of SSD's when this kind of relationship is going on between the intervention and the observed change.
What is a functional relationship?
500
Having a baseline and an intervention phase are characteristic of this type of design.
What is AB design.
500
This usually, but not always, occurs before the intervention.
What is baselining?
