Types of Measures
Characteristics of a good measure
100

Continuing observation of one client's system before, during, and after an intervention

What is Single System Design (SSD)
100
Numerical values that stand for names. 
What is Nominal 
100
Allows for evaluation across clients, situations, or problems. 
What is Multiple Base Line Design
100
Series of structured questions designed to gather information from individuals. 
What is Standardized Measures
100
When a measure is measuring what it is meant to measure. 
What is Validity 
200
Specifying what we mean by an abstract term.
What is Conceptualization 
200
Continuous variables, distance is meaningful. 
What is Interval 
200
In this design the intervention is followed by a baseline followed by the intervention.
What is BAB Design
200
Short reports to be completed by the client that can be rapidly scored. 
What is rapid assessment instruments. 
200
Produces consistent results. 
What is reliable
300
Assigns meaning to a term necessary to measure.
What is Operational 
300
Absolute zero 
What is Ratio
300

Design consisting of a no-intervention baseline phase and an intervention phase.  


What is AB Design
300
Utilized by clients to reflect changes over time
What is Individualized Rating Scale 
300
Meaning it could not have happened by chance alone
What is statistically significant
400

Period of time during which an outcome is measured repeatedly in the absence of the intervention. 


What is Baseline 
400
Attributes can be ordered 
What is Ordinal 
400
Design consisting of a single phase intervention.
What is B Design 
400
Purpose is to clarify and define the target and to collect information 
What is exploratory log 
400

Extent to which a measure most accurately represents the target 

What is direct 
500
What does SMART mean?
What is Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Limited
500

Three phase design that allows for no intervention baseline phase, intervention phase, and no intervention withdrawal phase. 

What is ABA Design
500
Monitors and evaluates client change.
What is evaluation log
500
Using measures that change as little as possible.
What is nonreactive
