Involves knowing whether a measurement procedure actually does what it is supposed to do.
What is validity?
100
Can determine whether clinically significant improvement occurred for a particular client.
What is a standardized measure?
100
Single phase design.
What is the B design?
100
Identify a specific object of intervention that is relevant in a given situation.
What is a target?
100
When researchers simply look at the items on the instrument to verify that they appear to measure what they are supposed to measure.
What is face validity?
200
Consistency of measurements.
What is reliability?
200
Standardized scales that are relatively brief, easily administered and scored, and readily accessible to professionals.
What is a rapid assessment instrument (RAI)?
200
Two phase design consisting of a baseline phase and an intervention phase.
What is AB design?
200
Breaking down the presenting problem into smaller components.
What is partializing?
200
How well the instrument covers the range of meanings included within a concept that is being measured.
What is content validity?
300
Errors that occur by chance.
What is random measurement error?
300
Measuring behavior using frequency, duration, or interval counts.
What is an observational measure?
300
A three phase design consisting of a baseline (no intervention) phase, followed by an intervention phase, followed by a no intervention (withdrawal) phase.
What is ABA design?
300
Preferences about the future, what the client would like to be, to do or would prefer to happen when the intervention is completed.
What is the ultimate goal?
300
Whether or not our measure agrees with other related measures of the same/similar construct.
What is convergent validity?
400
Bias; errors that occur in a particular way.
What is systematic measurement error?
400
Used with individual clients, families, or groups to measure intensity of feelings, internal states, opinions, etc.
What is an individual rating scale (IRS)?
400
A design in which consists of an intervention phase, followed by a withdrawal phase, followed by a return to the intervention. Often used when the practitioner must implement an intervention immediately.
What is BAB design?
400
Limited or intermediate version of the ultimate goal; what the client will think, feel, and/or do when the problem no longer exists.
What is an objective?
400
Does a measure discriminate among unrelated measures?
What is discriminant validity?
500
The extent to which measures are efficient, cost-effective, and acceptable to clients.
What is utility?
500
Structured diaries kept by the client of events that are relevant to the target.
What is a client log?
500
True experimental design that allows for evaluation across clients, situations, or problems.
What is a multiple baseline design?
500
Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time sensitive
What are SMART goals?
500
Whether the instrument predicts or forecasts accurately some sort of outcome/external variable.
