| a simple and versatile format for graphically summarizing behavioral data |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A type of graph on which the cumulative number of responses emitted is represented on the vertical axis |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a devise that automatically draws cumulative records that show the rate of response in real time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the results of measurements, usually in quantified form |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The level and trend of behavior between successive data points; created by drawing a straight line from the center of each data point in a given data set to the center of the next data point in the same set. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the variable in an experiment measured to determine if it changes as a result of manipulations of the independent variable; in applied behavior analysis, it represents some measure of a socially significant behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A visual format for displaying data |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher in an experiment to see whether changes in the independent variable produce reliable changes in the dependent variable. In applied behavior analysis, it is usually an environmental even or condition antecedent or consequent to the dependent variable. Sometimes called the intervention or treatment variable |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The value on the vertical axis scale around which a set of behavioral measures converge |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A two-dimensional area formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The average rate of response during a smaller period of time for which an overall response rate has been given |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The rate of response over a given time period. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A two-dimensional graph that shows the relative distribution of individual measure in a data set with respect to the variables depicted by the x and y axes |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A two-dimensional graph with a logarithmic scaled y axis so that the equal distances on the vertical axis represent changes in behavior that are of equal proportion |
|
|
Term
| Split-Middle Line of Progress |
|
Definition
| A line drawn through a series of graphed data points that shows the overall trend in the data |
|
|
Term
| Standard Celeration Chart |
|
Definition
| A multiply-divide chart with six base-10 cycles on the vertical axis that can accommodate response rates as low as 1 per 24 hours to as high as 1,000 per minute |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the overall direction taken by the data path |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The frequency and extent to which multiple measures of behavior yield different outcomes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A systematic approach for interpreting the results of behavioral research and treatment programs that entails visual inspection of graphed data for variability, level, and trend within and between experimental conditions |
