Levels of measurement
Primer on single system designs
Key characteristics of all measurements
Logs
Standardized scales
100
This is generally thought of as the process of assigning labels to certain characteristics of things according to a set of rules.
What is measurement
100
This phrase refers to a set of logical and empirical procedures used to observe changes in an identified target.
What is single-system designs
100
This is a general term for the consistency of measurements
What is reliability
100
This is type of log kept by the client of events that are relevant to the target situation focusing on the clients perception of events or situations.
What is a client log
100
This is a measure that involves the administration of the same scale items to different people using the same administration and scoring procedures.
What is a standardized scale
200
In this level of measurement the categories are ranked-ordered on a scale from less to more for some target
What is ordinal level
200
During this phase there are no target focused interventions implemented.
What is baseline phase
200
This indicates the extent to which a measure contains systematic measurement error.
What is validity
200
The purpose of this log is to help clarify and define the target and to collect detailed information on the target to aid in assessment
What is a exploratory log
200
When considering what kind of target was a scale designed for you are determining its.
What is a its purpose
300
In what level of measurement is information about whether one observation is qualitatively different from another or a person is in one category or another.
What is nominal level
300
This is a type of evaluation design that involves arrangement in which repeated observations before, during, and/or after interventions are compared to monitor the progress and assess the outcome of service.
What is single system designs
300
This is determined by independently measuring the same group of people or things with the same measure on two different occasions under the same circumstances.
What is test-retest reliability
300
This log is used when the client and practitioner are unable to distinguish between the target, and other activities, situations, or events.
What is a target problem log
400
This refers to the extent to which the questions or behaviors selected for measurements are representative or are a biased or limited sample of what you intend to measure.
What is content validity
400
This log will permit you to identify patterns or to develop an intervention plan focused on altering the dysfunctional elements in those patterns.
What is a interaction log
500
This tells us whether and how two variables are related.
What is correlation
