Pass the Big ABA Section 6 3 Dimensional Quantities (that can be measured) Correct Answer: RTT repeatability temporal extent temporal locust repeatability Correct Answer: when a behavior can be counted instances of a responces class occur repeatedly through time AKA for repeatability Correct Answer: countability 3 Types of Repeatability Correct Answer: CRC count rate celeration count Correct Answer: FORMULA= add up the # of items or behaviors most useful when observation time is constant across observations ex: Jimmy has 12 mands in his mand repertoire rate Correct Answer: AKA frequency FORMULA= add up the behavior over the number of time count/time important to report the unit of time use with free operants (discrete beginning and end times) ex: I ate 12 jelly beans in 2 minutes. celeration Correct Answer: FORMULA= count per unit of time/time frequency/time measure of how rates of response change over time can mean accelerate or decelerate a minimum of 7 measures of rate is recommended response rate = vertical (y) axis time in dats = horizontal (x) axis ex: I have gone to the gym 2 times over the week celeration trend line Correct Answer: a straight line that is drawn through the graphed data that represents the direction and degree of the trend temporal extent Correct Answer: when the DURATION of behavior can be measured every instance of the behavior occurs during some amount of time use when you want to know how long a behavior lasts ex: rocking, on task and off task behaviors, humming, watching TV total duration per session Correct Answer: cumulative amount of time that a person engages in a target behavior in the total session ex: in 3 hours, DIego engaged in the behavior 3 times 10 sec 5 sec 15 sec Add= 30 sec total duration per session duration per occurance Correct Answer: duration of time that each instance of the behavior occurs ex: list each instance of behavior 1. 10 sec 2. 5 sec 3. 15 sec 2 Methods for Calculating Duration Correct Answer: total duration per session duration per occurrance temporal locus Correct Answer: measuring the TIME at which behavior occurs LOCUS= point in time examines when an instance of behavior occurs with respect to other events 2 Types of Temporal Locus Correct Answer: Response Latency Interresponse Time (IRT) responce latency Correct Answer: AKA latency time between onset of a stimulus and initiation of a response latency should be used when one wants to measure hom much time occurs between an opportunity to emit a behavior and when the behavior is initiated Interresponse Time IRT Correct Answer: amount of time that elapses between 2 consecutive instances of a response class IRT should be used when time between responses is important often reported be mean or median and range of IRTs per session functionally related to rate of response ex: for eating behavior, when measuring bites of food, one would record the time in between each bite. If the person has a fast rate of eating, there would be shorter IRTs between bites. 2 Derivative Measures Correct Answer: percentage trials to criterion Percentage Correct Answer: RATIO formed by combining the same dimensional quantities, such as count minimum of 30 observation or response opportunities recomended ex: 4/5=0.8 x 100% = 80% trials to criterion Correct Answer: a measure of the number of response opportunities needed to achieve a predetermined level of performance criteria a trial depends on the nature of the target behavior and the desired performance level can use: count, rate, duration and latency used to compare the relative efficiency of 2 or more treatments ex: teaching a child the concept of the color red. Presenting the child with items that are red and not red and providing differential reinforcement for correct responses. For example it took Tammy 20 trials to learn what is "red" and "not red" or shoe tying 2 definitional measures Correct Answer: topgoraphy magnitude topography Correct Answer: form or shape of the response use when form of the behavior is critical malleable dimension of behavior = responses of varying form are shaped and selected by consequences ex: cheering behavior can have differing topographies of clapping, hollering, fist pumping, etc. magnatude Correct Answer: AKA: force, intensity, severity of behavior certain responses need to be emitted at specific levels of intensity ex: volume of voice differs in library vs. crowded store continuous measurement procedures Correct Answer: measurement conducted in a manner such that ALL instances of the response class of interest are detected during the observation period. when you account for EVERY behavior during the time period ex: event recording (frequency and rate) and timing methods (duration, IRT, latency) are all continuous discontinuous measurement procedures Correct Answer: measurement conducted in a manner such that some instances of the response class of interest may NOT be detected
