Data Collection RBT
behavior is measured by: - answer collecting data
What does it mean to measure a behavior? - answer To put a quantitative value on an
aspect of a behavior
Data should be collected only for behavior that we want to decrease: - answer false
Which of the following is NOT a reason data collection is important? - answer Data
collection allows the teacher to give his/her thoughts about the procedures being used
I.O.A. - answer Degree to which 2 or more people who are simultaneously observing
and recording data on a clients behavior, report the same observed values after
measuring the same events.
frequency - answer-is the number of times a behavior occurs within a given time period
- one of the most common ways of measuring behaviors
-have clear beginning and end
- data are summarized as the number of times a behavior occurs per time period
Duration - answer- the length of time each instance of behavior occurs
-used when looking to increase or decrease the the length of time a client engages in a
behavior
-data summarized as the total amount of time the target behavior occurred for, within a
given time period
Which measurement procedure would be best when looking to increase the behavior of
hand raising? - answerFrequency
Duration recording is used to measure the length of time a behavior occurs and
frequency recording measures the number of times a behavior occurs. - answertrue
Time Sampling - answer- observation period broken into short intervals
-occurrence or absence of the target behavior recorded during each interval
-data summarized as the percentage of intervals in which behavior occurred
TS: Partial Interval Recording - answer-behavior is recorded if it occurs at anytime
during each interval
- requires continuous observation
-used to measure behaviors that start and stop quickly and occur in rapid succession;
do not have a clear start and end
