🗑
Measurement is the process of applying qualitative labels to events.   show
🗑
The number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance is called trials-to-criterion.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
show False  
🗑
One benefit of measurement is that it helps practitioners verify the legitimacy of different treatments.   show
🗑
show Reliable  
🗑
show Artifacts  
🗑
__________________ _____________ is the biggest threat to the accuracy and reliability of data.   show
🗑
show Drift  
🗑
_______________ ____________________ is the degree to which two or more independent observers report the same observed values after measuring the same events.   show
🗑
show IOA observers must always score videotapes together  
🗑
show Valid, accurate  
🗑
Which of the following is not a factor that contributes to measurement error?   show
🗑
Measurement bias caused by observer expectations can be avoided by using _______ observers.   show
🗑
show Percentage of Agreement  
🗑
Scored – interval IOA is recommended for behaviors that occur at relative _________frequencies; unscored – interval IOA is recommended for behaviors that occur at relative _____________frequencies.   show
🗑
show True  
🗑
Observers should not receive systematic training prior to data collection because training will cause observer bias.   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
show True  
🗑
A mean of 80% agreement means the data are accurate.   show
🗑
Behavior change is considered a ________ and _______ process, therefore it is important to maintain direct and continuous contact with the behavior under investigation.   show
🗑
_____________ are relatively simple formats for visually displaying relationships among and between a series of measurements and relevant variables.   show
🗑
The three fundamental properties of behavior illustrated on a graph include:   show
🗑
show Judgmental aid  
🗑
show Line  
🗑
show Variability, trends  
🗑
show The higher  
🗑
Logarithmic scales are well suited to display and communicate ______________________ change.   show
🗑
This type of graph provides a standardized means of charting and analyzing how the frequency of behavior changes over time.   show
🗑
Precision teaching focuses on ________________ rather than the specific frequency of correct and incorrect responses.   show
🗑
Behavior analysts typically use _________________ ____________________ to interpret graphically displayed data   show
🗑
show Level  
🗑
show Trend  
🗑
Graphs are not considered an effective source of feedback to the person whose behavior change is represented.    show
🗑
A cumulative record should be used if the target behavior can only occur once per measurement period.   show
🗑
show False  
🗑
show True  
🗑
If you believe the data on a graph are distorted by the scaling of the axes you should re-plot the data on a new graph before continuing with visual analysis.   show
🗑
show Three-term contingency  
🗑
A time sampling method for measuring behavior in which the observation period is divided into a series of brief time intervals (typically from 5 to 15 seconds). At the end of each interval, the observer records whether the target behavior occurred through   show
🗑
A two-phase experimental design consisting of a pre-treatment baseline condition (a) followed be a treatment condition (B).   show
🗑
show Dependent variable  
🗑
The particular type and sequence of conditions in a study so that meaningful comparisons of the effects of the presence and absence (or different values) of the independent variable can be made.   show
🗑
show Independent variable  
🗑
show Single-subject design  
🗑
The science in which tactics derived from the principles of behavior are applied to improve socially significant behavior and experimentation is used to identify the variables responsible for the improvement in behavior.   show
🗑
show Replication  
🗑
show Direct measurement  
🗑
Occurs when the behavior that is measured is in some way different from the behavior of interest; considered less valid than direct measurement because inferences about the relation between the data obtained and the actual behavior of interest are require   show
🗑
show Alternating treatments design  
🗑
This person is considered to be the founder of experimental analysis of behavior.   show
🗑
In changing criterion design each phase of the design provides a ______ for the following phase.   show
🗑
show Changing criterion design  
🗑
______ ______is used to document the amount of time a student spends engaging in a behavior   show
🗑
An experiment has a high degree of _______ when the experiment shows convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the independent variable and not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables.   show
🗑
show Latency  
🗑
show Momentary Time Sample  
🗑
show Partial interval recording  
🗑
show Reliability  
🗑
show ABAB Design  
🗑
The degree to which a study's findings have generality to other subjects, settings, and/or behaviors.   show
🗑
show Functional Relationship  
🗑
The specific behavior selected for change Objective, Clear, Complete   show
🗑
Experimental designs that combine multipe baselne, reversal, and/or alternating treatment tactics can also provide the basis for comparing the effects of two or more independent variables   show
🗑
