|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| dimension of behavior; the physical force or magnitude of behavior, usually a rating scale |
|
|
Term
| Time Sample Recording (Discontinuous Recording) |
|
Definition
| Capture a sample behavior by dividing sessions into equal intervals and recording occurences of response during each interval |
|
|
Term
| Continuous Recording (Real Time Recording) |
|
Definition
| capture each instance of behavior (frequency, duration), behavior must have discrete beginning and end point |
|
|
Term
| Problems with Continuous (Real Time) Recording |
|
Definition
| may require technology, can be difficult if behavior occurs frequently |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| recall of information about behavior of interest (interviews, checklists) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Record occurrence of behavior as it happens (more accurate) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| direct tests of variables influencing behavior of interest, functional analysis |
|
|
Term
| What are the components of a good measure? (4) |
|
Definition
| Objective (observable, unambiguous), Reliable (produces consistent repeatable results), Valid (produces an accurate representation, Sensitive (can direct changes in the dependent variable) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the phenomenon in which the process of recording behavior causes the behavior to change even before treatment is implemented for the behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An observational setting that would not be part of the client's daily routine |
|
|
Term
| 2 way to decrease Reactivity |
|
Definition
| wait until clients grow accustomed to observer, record unknowingly to those being observed (possibly as a participant observer) |

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an undesirable target behavior that a person seeks to decrease |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Dimension of behavior, time of onset of behavior to the offset of the behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Dimension of behavior, number of times a behavior occurs in a specific time period |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| states that behavior that produces a favorable effect on environment will be more likely to be repeated in the future |
|
|
Term
| Alternating Treatments Design |
|
Definition
| Baseline and treatment sessions are alternated rapidly. Baseline and treatment sessions may occur on alternating days or in different session on the same day |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| One baseline and one treatment phase (not a true research design) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Two (or more) baseline phases and two (or more) treatment phases for the same behavior of one subject (AKA Reversal Design) |
|
|
Term
| Multiple Baseline Across Behaviors |
|
Definition
| baseline and treatment phases for two or more different behaviors of one subject; treatment staggered across behaviors |
|
|
Term
| Multiple Baseline Across Subjects |
|
Definition
| Baseline and treatment phases for the same behavior of two or more subjects; treatment is staggered across subjects |
|
|
Term
| Multiple Baseline Across Settings |
|
Definition
| Baseline and treatment phases for the same behavior of the same subject in two or more settings; treatment is staggered across settings |
|
|
Term
| Changing Criterion Design |
|
Definition
| A baseline phase and treatment phase for one subject; treatment is a progressive performance criteria |
