Compound Schedule of RI
Task List I
3 some
100
Continuous Measurement consists of?
What is Count/Frequency, Duration, Rate
100
I get on the scale and it says 130 lbs., I get on the scale with my ten lb bling bling chain and I weigh 140 lbs. This measurement is not.
What is valid? Measure what you are intending to measure. Not weighing the chain but your body weight.
100
7 compound schedules of RI.
What is Concurrent, Alternative, Conjunctive, Mixed, Multiple, Tandem, and Chained
100
Observers directly monitor and record the setting events, direct antecedents and the consequences that appear to correlate with the BX. ABC recording can be used for data collection. Indicates which factors to analyze when seeking to identify a true functional relation between the BX and the events controlling its occurrence
What is Descriptive Assessments
100
Three levels of scientific knowledge?
What is Description, Prediction and Control.
200
Discontinuous Measurement consists of?
What is Whole interval, partial interval, and momentary time sampling?

My son made me a measuring cup set for me in his pottery class. It is Christmas and he sees me making Grandma Olof's famous cranberry pie. I finished the first one with my cups, and I put away my measuring cups and use his for the second one. The pie's crust did not become flaky or bake but stayed a gooey mess for the second pie. My measuring cups were not
What is accurate?

Joey, who is blind, spends his afternoons with his grandparents. His grandmother smells like flowers and sugar and when he asks her for a snack she gives him fruits or vegetables. His grandfather smells like cigars and when he asks him he gets sweets. Joey doesn't get sugar at home and follows the smell of cigars when he wants a snack.
What is Multiple Schedules of RI
200
A systematic method for obtaining information about the FUNCTION challenging the BX's serve for an individual.
What is Functional Behavior Assessment, AKA assessment
200
Three fundamental properties (AKA dimensional quantities) of Behavior.
What is Repeatability (AKA countability), Temporal Extent, Temporal Locus Temporal extent: every instance of BX occurring during some amount of time EX: duration Temporal locus: Every instance of a BX occurs at certain point in time with respect to other events.

Johnny ate 50 Jellybeans is? Johnny ate 50 jellybeans in 1 minute? What MX is used for these two examples...and what DRO would we implement if he is eating 50 jellybeans in 1 minute?
What is Count/Frequency? Rate. We would want to lower his time of eating, therefore, implementing a DRL, increase the time between consuming jellybeans.

I get pulled over and I have to take a breathalyzer test. I blow a .08. I scream and yell "No way, that's complete bull, I didn't have a drink!!". I retake the test and blow a .08. I am now handcuffed and put in the back of the police car. The test given to me was...
What is reliable
300
You have a client who doesn't like to go outside. You give them a FI 1 hour, which he can earn 3 hours of video games, or a FI 30 minutes where he can earn 30 minutes of video games.
What is Concurrent Schedule of RI (CONC) Think 2 RR's, 2 BX's 2 RI Choice making
300
When evaluating this, questions you may ask be: Is it an age-appropriate BX? Is this BX a pivotal BX or a BX cusp? Will this BX increase the client's access to the environment?
What is Habilitation Think social significance of the target BX
300
3 threats to accuracy and reliability?
What is Observer drift, Observer expectation and observer reactivity? Observer drift: over time, observers sometimes alter, often unknowingly, the way they apply a MX system, unintended changes in the way data collected. Observer expectation: knowledge about predicted or desired results, avoid by using naive observers. Observer Reactivity: MX error caused by an observers awareness that others are evaluating data they report
400
We would use this measurement to measure behaviors that occur at a high rate?
What is duration
400
If a BX actually occurred for 75 % of an observation period, but the measurement used for recording behavior occurring at 55 % of the observation period. This created a?
What is measurement artifact Data that give an unwarranted or a misleading picture of the BX because of the way measurement was conducted.
400
Joey has been working with his speech teacher. Sometimes she RI him on an FR1 schedule with m&m's and somedays he goes in and she gives him m&m's on an FR10
What is Mixed Schedule of RI (MIX)
400
4 ways to acquire information for an assessment.
What is checklists (AKA behavior checklist), observations (AKA Direct Observation), interviews (AKA structure behavioral interviews), standardized tests (AKA tests). COIT
400
3 characteristics of a good operational definition? You down with....
What is objective, complete, clear
500
Partial interval recording is used to (increase/decrease) behaviors and it typically overestimates ________ and underestimates _______ of high-frequency behaviors. Whole interval recording is used to (increase/decrease) the behavior and typically underestimates _______ and _____.
What is Partial decreases the BX's and typically overestimates duration, underestimates rate? Whole interval used to increase behaviors and underestimates duration and rate.
500
Your watch tells you that you ran 11.3 miles on your daily run, but the official department of transportation says your run is 11.9 miles.Your data is _________ but not _______.
What is reliable but not accurate
500
Involves manipulating (turning on and off) the suspected maintaining variables (+ or - RI). Also, control for MO including setting events or establishing operations.
What is Functional Analysis
500
What are the 3 test conditions and 1 control condition, its AKA, in a functional assessment? Bonus- the 4th test condition that has been added.
What is (1)Contingent Attention (AKA social disapproval condition), (2) Contingent Escape (AKA Academica demand condition), (3) Alone. Control AKA Play condition. Tangible.
