Measurement definitions
Tally of number of responses observed
What is Frequency?
Time from the onset of stimulus to beginning of response
What is latency?
The behaviour being recorded in an experiment
Experimental design in which the the IV is withdrawn and reapplied.
What is Reversal design? (ABA design)
Number of responses recorded per observation time
What is rate?
Count of Occurrences/Count of Opportunities
What is Percent of Occurrences?
The effect applied to see if there is a change in the behaviour in an experiment
What is the Independent Variable?
What is Alternating Treatments Design?
Recording the amount of time a behaviour occurs
What is Duration?
What is Trials to Criteria?
This includes prediction, verification and replication
What is Baseline Logic?
What is Multiple Baselines across Settings?
Behaviour recorded when it occurs during the interval period
What is Partial interval?
A predictable change in the behaviour can be reliably produced by the introduction or manipulation of a treatment or change in environment
What is Experimental Control (functional relation)?
Experimental design in which the IV is increased in step wise fashion and behaviour is expected to match new criteria
What is Changing Criteria Design?
Behaviour is recorded when it occurs for the full interval
What is Whole interval recording?
Behaviour recorded when it occurs at the end of the interval
What is Momentary Time Sampling?
An uncontrolled factor known or suspected to of exerting influence over the D.V in an experiment?
What is a confounding variable?
Baseline is collected on 2 or more behaviours, the IV is applied sequentially
What is Multiple Baseline across Behaviours?
