How do you take frequency data? - ANSWER-Count how many times the
behavior occurs
How do you take duration data? - ANSWER-Record how long the behavior lasts
Take the frequency and then divide by the time
How would you take latency data? - ANSWER-Its the time between when the
instruction is given and when the behavior starts
How would you take IRT data? - ANSWER-The time between two responses
Discontinuos data collection - ANSWER-You only take data for part of the
session. For example, you may only collect data for 20 minutes.
Partial Interval Recording - ANSWER-Recording if a behavior takes place during
a period of time.
For example, during a 15 second interval, Jacob screamed.
Whole Interval Recording - ANSWER-Behavior counts as an occurrence if it
takes place during the whole interval.
For example, Jacob screamed for 15 seconds during a 15 second interval.
Momentary Time Sampling - ANSWER-If a behavior occurs at the end of the
interval, it counts as an occurrence.
For example, during a 15 second interval, Jacob screamed at 14 seconds.
What is the most common type of graph used? - ANSWER-Line Graph
How often should we have data graphs? - ANSWER-After every session
What goes on the x-axis? - ANSWER-Time (Independent Variable)
What goes on the y axis? - ANSWER-Behavior (Dependent variable)
, When behavior is moving upward on a graph it is known as which of the
following? - ANSWER-Increasing Trend
When behavior is moving downward on a graph it is known as which of the
following? - ANSWER-Decreasing Trend
Preference Assessment - ANSWER-Aims to identify an individual's favorite
things so that they can be used as rewards or potential "reinforcers" for desired
behavior. CSDA
1. Caregiver interview
2. Surveys
3. Direct Observation
4. Assessment Method
Whats an RBTs role regarding assessments? - ANSWER-To assist the BCBA
Single Stimulus Preference Assessment - ANSWER-A stimulus is presented and
the person's response is recorded.
Forced Choice Preference Assessment - ANSWER-Individuals are shown items
in pairs and asked to pick one.
Multiple Stimulus without Replacement - ANSWER-Items are presented in an
array and the client is instructed to pick one and given time to engage with that
item. After the engagement interval, the array is presented again without the
already selected item(s) and the client selects again. Process continues until all
items are chosen or client stops choosing items. The FULL array is presented
3-5 times and selection percentage is calculated to give preference gradient.
ABC Data Collection - ANSWER-Antecedent- Before the behavior
Behavior- What is the behavior
Consequences- What happens right after the behavior
discrete trial training - ANSWER-A method of teaching readiness skills or other
desired behaviors that involves a step-by-step approach of presenting a stimulus
and requiring a specific response.
