BACB Section A

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
Frequency   Number of times behavior occurs  
🗑
Rate   Frequency of the behavior divided by a standard period of time.  
🗑
Duration   The total time elapsed between the start of the behavior and its completion.  
🗑
Latency   Recording the time that elaspes from the signal to begin until the response occurs; time elapsed from signal until initiation of respons  
🗑
IRT- Interresponse Time   The time from offset of a response to onset of the next response; time elasped from 1 response to the next response  
🗑
Percent of Occurrence   you must report the number of response opportunities and the percentage responded to correctly; number of times the event occurred per 100 opportunities that the event could have occurred  
🗑
Trials to Criterion   A measure of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance criteria  
🗑
Repeatability   Count, Rate, Celeration  
🗑
Temporal Extent   Duration  
🗑
Temporal Locus   Latency, IRT  
🗑
Derivative Measures   Percentage and Trials to Criterion  
🗑
Definitional Measures   Topography and Magnitude  
🗑
Procedures for Measuring Behavior   Event Recording, Timing and Time Sampling  
🗑
Topography   Form or shape of the response  
🗑
Magnitude   Force/ intensity/ severity of a behavior Certain responses needed to be emitted at specific levels of intensity  
🗑
Continuous Measurements   All instances of the response class of interest are detected during the observation period  
🗑
Discontinuous Measurements   Some instances of the response class of interest may NOT be detected  
🗑
Types of Discontinuous Measurements   Time Sampling methods/Interval recording methods: Whole Interval, Partial Interval, Momentary Time Sampling  
🗑
3 Forms of Time Sampling   Whole Interval, Partial Interval and Momentary Time Sampling  
🗑
Whole Interval   Behavior must occur the entire interval in order to be scored; Underestimates the rate of behavior, increase behavior  
🗑
Partial Interval   Overestimates the rate of a behavior, Behaviors must occur at anytime during interval to be scored At the end of each interval, record whether the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval.  
🗑
Momentary Time Sampling   Over-or Under estimates or neither At the end of that time interval only in order to be scored  
🗑
Use MTS When.......   Observational constraints because you do not have to continuously measure throughout the entire interval.  
🗑
PLACHECK   Planned Activity Check: A variation of MTS for groups. The observer simply counts the number of individuals who are actually engaged in the assigned activity at a particular moment.  
🗑
Accuracy   TRUE VALUE. The extent to which the observed value matches the true value of an event.  
🗑
Reliability   The extent to which a measurement procedure yields the same value when brought into REPEATED contact with the same state of nature. SAME results REPEATEDLY  
🗑
Measurement Artifacts   Discontinuous Measurements, Poorly Scheduled Measurement Periods, Insensitive/Limited Measurement Scales  
🗑
Observer Drift   When observers unknowingly alter the way they measure a behavior. Unintended changes in the way data are collected produce measurement error  
🗑
IOA-Interobserver agreement   Reporting IOA increase believability that the data is trustworthy and deserving of interpretation  
🗑
VALID IOA must   Same Measurement System, Same Event and Observers must be Independent  
🗑
4 Event Recording IOA:   Total Count IOA, Mean per Interval IOA, Exact Count per Interval IOA and Trial by Trial IOA  
🗑
Timing/Duration   Total Duration IOA, Mean Duration (IRT) per Occurrence IOA  
🗑
Time Sampling IOA   Interval by Interval, Scored Interval and Unscored Interval  
🗑
Total Count   Totally easy- Smaller #/Larger # x 100  
🗑
Mean Count-per-Interval   Each interval is calculated between the count of the 2 observers within each interval.  
🗑
Exact Count-per Interval   STRICT EVENT RECORDING IOA METHOD! # of intervals of 100% IOA Agreement / Total # of Intervals x 100%  
🗑
Trial by Trial IOA   # of Trials of Agreement/Total # of Trials x 100%  
🗑
Total Duration IOA   Shorter Duration/Longer Duration x 100  
🗑
Mean Duration (IRT) per occurrence IOA   Used to calculated duration per occurrence data Mean from Response 1+2+3.../Total # of Duration IOA  
🗑
Interval by Interval IOA   # of Interval BOTH recorders are in Agreement IOA/ Total # of Intervals x 100 Likely to overestimate the actual agreement measuring behaviors that occur at very high or low rates  
🗑
Scored Interval IOA   Only uses intervals in which BOTH observers scored an occurrence of the behavior to calculate the IOA. # of Intervals BOTH recorders recorded Occurrence /# of Intervals at LEAST ONE observer Recorder Occurrence x 100  
🗑
Unscored Interval IOA   # of Intervals BOTH recorders Recorded Non-Occurence/# of Interval at LEAST one Recorder Recorded Non Occurrence x 100  
🗑
IOA Should Occur   20% of the time at 80% closer to 100% is better  
🗑
Equal Interval Graph   x and y axis; Line, Bar, Cumulative Record, Scatterplot and Standard Celeration Chart  
🗑
Cumulative Record   A cumulative recorder enables a subject to draw his/her own graph. Called "cumulative" because you keep adding on responses during each observation period to the total number of all previously recorded responses. y axis= total # of responses from start  
🗑
2 Types of Cumulative Record Response Rates   Overall Response Rate: An average rate of response over a given time period, such as during a specific session or phase in a study. Local Response Rate: An average rate of response during periods of time smaller  
🗑
Types of Preference Assessment   Ask the Person, Observe the person, Trial Based Method (MSW, MSWO)  
🗑
Types of Reinforcer Assessment   Progressive Ratio, Concurrent, Multiple, NCR  
🗑
Progressive Ratio Schedule   gradually requires more responses per presentation of the preferred stimulus until a breaking point is reached and the response rate declines  
🗑
Concurrent Schedule   When two or more contingencies of reinforcement operate independently and simultaneously for two or more behaviors  
🗑
Multiple Schedule of Reinforcement   gradually requires more responses per presentation of the preferred stimulus until a breaking point is reached and the response rate declines  
🗑
