Continuous Measurement
This continuous measurement counts how many times a behavior occurs.
What is frequency?
This method records whether a behavior occurred at any point during an interval.
What is partial interval recording?
This measurement records behavior by evaluating a tangible outcome.
What is permanent product recording?
RBTs are responsible for entering data and updating this.
What is a graph?
Behavior descriptions should be this type of language.
What is observable and measurable?
This measure records how long a behavior lasts from start to finish.
What is duration?
This method records whether a behavior occurred for the entire interval.
What is whole interval recording?
Counting completed math worksheets is an example of this type of measurement.
What is permanent product recording?
This graph displays behavior data across time.
What is a line graph?
“Aggression” defined as “hitting, kicking, or biting another person” is an example of this.
What is an operational definition?
This continuous measurement records the time between the end of one response and the start of the next.
What is interresponse time (IRT)?
This method checks if a behavior is occurring at the exact moment the interval ends.
What is momentary time sampling?
This is a major advantage of permanent product measurement.
What is it does not require direct observation of the behavior?
A line graph is demonstrating an increase in behavior over time.
What is an upward trend?
This is the main purpose of an operational definition.
What is to ensure consistency in data collection?
This measures the time between a given instruction and the learner’s response.
What is latency?
This type of measurement often overestimates behavior occurrence.
What is partial interval recording?
This is a limitation of permanent product recording.
What is it does not measure the process or rate of behavior?
A line graph is demonstrating a decrease in behavior over time.
What is a downward trend?
“Being rude” is NOT an operational definition because it lacks this.
What is objectivity or measurability?
This type of continuous measurement is best for behaviors with a clear beginning and end that happen often.
What is frequency or rate?
This type of measurement often underestimates behavior occurrence.
What is whole interval recording?
Permanent product measurement is most appropriate when this is true.
What is the behavior leaves a measurable outcome?
A line graph is showing inconsistency in a behavior over time.
What is variable data/trend?
Poor operational definitions can lead to this major risk.
What is unreliable or invalid data?
