| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Analogue Setting | An observation setting that is not part of the client's normal daily routine |
| Baseline | The period during which the target behavior is recorded before treatment is implemented |
| Behavioral assessment | Measurement of the target behavior |
| Continuous recording | When the observer observes the client continuously throughout the observation period and records each occurrence of the behavior |
| Direct assessment | A person observes and records the target behavior as it occurs |
| Duration | The total amount of time occupied by the behavior from start to finish |
| Frequency | The number of times the behavior occurs in an observation period |
| Frequency-within-interval recording | The observer records the frequency of the target behavior but does so within consecutive intervals of time in the observation period |
| Indirect assessment | Involves using interviews, questionnaires, and rating scales to obtain information on the target behavior from the person exhibiting the behavior or from others |
| Intensity | The amount of force, energy, or exertion involved in the behavior |
| Interobserver agreement (IOA) | When two people independently observe the same behavior and both record that the behavior occurred |
| Interobserver reliability | When two people independently observe the same behavior and both record that the behavior occurred |
| Interval recording | A type of behavior recording procedure in which the observation period is divided into a number of consecutive time intervals and the behavior is recorded as occurring or not occurring in each of the intervals |
| Latency | The time from some stimulus or event to the onset of the behavior |
| Momentary time sample recording (MTS) | The behavior is recorded only if it occurs at the exact instant the interval ends |
| Natural setting | Places in which the target behavior typically occurs |
| Observation period | The specific period where the observer records the target behavior |
| Partial interval recording | A time sampling method in which the observer records whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval |
| Product recording | An indirect assessment method that can be used when a behavior results in a certain tangible outcome that you are interested in |
| Rate | Frequency divided by the time of the observation period |
| Reactivity | When the process of recording a behavior causes the behavior to change, even before any treatment is implemented |
| Real-time recording | The method in which the exact time of each onset and offset of the target behavior is recorded |
| Self-monitoring | When the observer is the person exhibiting the target behavior |
| Structured observation | When the observer arranges for specific events or activities to occur during the observation period |
| Time sample recording | When an observer divides the observation period into intervals of time but observes and records the behavior during only part of each interval |
| Unstructured observation | When no specific events or activities are arranged and no instructions are given during the observation period |
| Whole interval recording | The occurrence of the behavior is marked in an interval only when the behavior occurs throughout the entire interval |
| Objectivity | Response definitions are observable, unambiguous |
| Reliability | The instrument produces consistent (repeatable) results |
| Validity | Instrument produces accurate representation of events |
| Sensitivity | Instrument reflects changes in response |
