Reliability
Measures the degree to which data can be generalizable across observers
What is Inter-rater Reliability?
the degree to which elements of the assessment instrument are relevant to and representative of the targeted construct
comparing baseline data to intervention data
how frequently a behavior occurs
What is rate?
Measures agreement between two different forms of a test
What is equivalence?
What is face validity?
Alternate baseline and intervention data collection to confirm effictiveness of independent variable change
What is ABAB design?
how long the behavior in question occurs for
What is duration?
Measures the stability of a measure across occasions
the degree to which measures from an assessment correlate with scores from previously validated instruments measuring the same construct
What is criterion validity?
different phases implemented in a step-wise fashion with either increasing or decreasing requirements to demonstrate the impact of an independent variable on a target behavior
What is changing criterion design?
the time between a stimulus and a response
What is latency?
Measures how representative one item is of the larger measure
What is internal consistency?
degree to which data from an assessment instrument covaries with other measures of the same/similar constructs
What is convergent validity?
measuring more than one behavior at baseline and staggering interventions across time
What is multiple baseline design?
the degree to which data points are spread out from each other on a graph
What is variability?
What is split-half reliability?
the degree to which an obtained measure assesses the domain, trait, or characteristics of interest
What is construct validity?
comparing the effects of two treatments on a single subject
What is alternating treatments design?
measurement of a behavior's intensity, force, strength, or severity
What is magnitude?
