| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| DRL | used to increase IRT |
| Partial interval | Used for Brief behaviors that occur intermittingly ie.5 secs |
| momentary time sampling and whole interval | do not capture intermittent behaviors |
| Exact count IOA | calculate agreement (IOA) between 2 observers account using Total count IOA within each interval. Number of intervals with 100% IOA*100/ divided by # of intevals |
| type II error | failure to detect a true effect or relationship when it exists |
| External validity | evaluate to generalbility at large |
| internal validity | provides evidence that observed changes in independent variable are caused by independant variable and no other factors |
| tact | non verbal sd involves labeling or describing something in the environment based on nonverbal features i.e. appearance, smell, taste, or texture |
| solecistic tact extension | slang, poor use of language i.e., "you speak good" |
| metaphorical extinction | based on metaphors i.e., your heart is black as coal |
| Metonymical extension | verbal responses to novel stimuli that share none of the relevant features i.e., saying water when you see a cup |
| generic extension | a novel stimulus shares all of the same features as the original stimulus (same as stimulus generalization |
| Bar graph aka histogram | allows you to see trends on a monthly basis. Monthly data use for summative performance; seperate data sets that arent related used to display unrelated discrete sets of data with a common dimension. Don't use for trend and variability based on cartesan plane i.e. teacher plots # of holiday per month in a school year allows for quick comparison of performance |
| masking | competing stimulus blocks evocative power of stimulus+ decreasing effectiveness |
| equal interval graph | graphs which the distance between 2 consecutive points on both the x-axis and y-axis are always the same all intervals are the same size |
| line graph | based on cartesian plane used to show change in a DV overtime or in response to different conditions, interventions presented in a alt. fashion measuring changes in value of DV allow for clear visual of changes in between easy to compare the effects of 2 interventions |
| scatterplot | shows relative distribution of individual measures in a data set with respect to the variable changes in relation to the other. |
| relevance of behavior rule | the practice of selecting behavior to change in a way that result in positive reinforcement in the future, |
| Slope | each data path cumualative record represents diff rate of acquisition. indicates how quickly or slowly data is being acquired Steeper slope=faster rate of acquisition flatter slope +slower rate of acquisition is a measure of the rate at which data is being collected |
| response generalization | learners ability to apply the target behavior to different but related responses. Learner emits untrained responses. functionally equivalent to trained target behavior. |
| response maintenance | learners ability to continuley demonstrate target behavior overtime |
| environment | controlling variables of primary importance in applied behavior analysis are located in the environment |
| temporal locus | specific point in time behavior occurs property of behavior amenable to measurement can be objectively observed and quantified can determine when and how frequent behavior occur display patterns and understand relationship between behavior and antcedent/consequnece |
| rate | measures frequency or occurrence of a behavior within a specific time period. calculated by dividing the # of occurrences by the observation time. |
| horizontal axis aka X-axis | Abscissa time passage and the presence, absence or value of the IV |
| vertical axis aka Y-axis | ordinate the quantifiable aspect of a target behavior |
| axis labels | describe the dimensions of the x-axis and y-axis |
| condition change lines | the vertical lines drawn upward from the x-axis to show points in time at which changes in the IV occurred |
| cummalative record | used to display cummalative data overtime i.e., # of points collected within a week, how many dollars saved in a month etc. provides a clear visual rep of the overall trend and growth in data |
| standard celeration | type of semilogarithimic chart used to track and analyze acceleration or deceleration performance overtime. focus on understanding and improving performance trends. |
| stimulus equivalence |
