________ means measuring each and every instance of behavior within the observation period.

Continuous measurement

What are the types of Continuous measurement?

• Frequency

• Rate

• Duration

• Inter Rate Response

• Latency

_______ is the count of number of times a behavior occurs.

Frequency

How many time John hit another patient? This is an example of which continuous measurement procedure?

Frequency (Note: For this type of data collection, you would tally every time John hit another student and present the count as a number. Like, John hot another pt for 5 times)

_____ is frequency count with a time element.

Rate (John hit another patient for five times in 5 minutes)

_____ is an important measurement when looking at behaviors which are frequent and short.

Rate

_____ shows that this is how long a behavior will occur.

Duration

How would you take duration data?

To take duration data you start the stopwatch when the behavior begins and end the stop watch when the behavior stops.

______ is the time between responses.

Inter Rate Response

In which type of data taking you start the stopwatch when the behavior ends and stop the stop watch when the behavior begins again.

Inter Rate Response

_____ is the time from prompt to the start of the behavior.

Latency

What type of data are you taking when you are starting your stopwatch when the prompt is given and stop the stopwatch when the behavior starts?

Latency

______ measurement procedures are samples of the target behavior, but they do not measure every instance of behavior within the observation period.

Discontinuous measurement procedure

What type of interval is this? Recording the presence or absence of a behavior during a brief interval of time.

Partial Interval

Frequency recording/frequency count

Behavior should be _____ & ____.

Observable and measurable

What type of assessment is this? A set of procedures used to determine if one or more stimuli may function to increase the rate of a specific behavior or behaviors when delivered following the occurrence of that behavior.

Preference assessment

In which type of preference assessment the therapist does not interact with the client and the therapist observes which items the client interacts with and record the time spent with the item.

Free Operant Preference Assessment

In which preference assessment client can freely choose which items to play with or use and the items are ranked by the amount of time that client spent with them.

Free Operant Preference Assessment

The therapist simply presents one item after another. The Therapist-records whether the client consumed/ interacted with the with the item, made no response to the item, or avoided the item. Which type of preference assessment is this?

Single Item Preference Assessment

For food item a small piece of food is presented, and for non-food items the client is allowed to interact with the item for 30S. The amount of times a client interacted with an item is counted. The items are ranked by the amount of times a client interacted with them. Which type of preference assessment is this?

Single Item Preference Assessment

The therapist presents 2 items to the client and records which item the client chooses. Allow the client to interact with the item for 30s. All items should be randomly presented in pairs. Which type of preference assessment is this?

Paired Choice Preference Assessment (Forced Choice Preference Assessment)

Which Preference assessment is this in which pt forces a choice form the client and is useful when the pt interacts with most items during a single item preference assessment.

Paired Choices preference assessment.

In which preference assessment the items that are chosen the most are ranked as stronger reinforcers.

Parried Choice preference assessment
