RBT (Measurement)

Terms

Probe data

Data taken in small periods

Repeatability (Countability)

If behaviour repeats & can be counted once defined

Temporal extent

If behaviour has duration

Temporal locus

If behaviour happens at specific points in time

Continuous Measurement

Recording every instance of a target behaviour

Frequency

Count, number of times behaviour happened

Rate

Frequency over time

Duration

Time between onset to offset of behaviour

Latency

Time between stimulus & behaviour

Inter-Response Time

Time between each instance of behaviour

Discontinuous Measurement

Score a specific point or intervals in time

Partial Interval Recording

Score if behaviour happens anytime during given interval of 5-15 s

Whole Interval Recording

Score if behaviour happens for entire interval

Momentary Time Sampling

Score if behaviour happens at specific point in interval (end of interval)

Task Analysis Data

Score if student did each step of a longer task & if performance needed prompts

Trial-by-Trial Data

Score performance of discrete trials, followed by consequence

First Trial-by-Trial Data

Score performance of first discrete trial of session

Estimation Data

Score % of correct responses AND frequency & duration of behaviour at end of session

Permanent Product

Record durable outcome of behaviour

Line Graphs (use)

For tracking progress of behaviour/response over unit of time

Bar Graphs (use)

Track averages of behaviour before & after intervention
