A measurement that records the length of time that a behavior occurs from onset (i.e. start) to offset (i.e. end)

Temporal locus refers to

The point in time that a behavior occurs (i.e. response latency and interresponse time)

The duration of time between the onset of a stimulus and the iniation of a response.

Interresponse time is

The duration of time that elapses between two consecutive instances of a response.

Continuous measurement

A measurement procedure in which every instance of a target behavior is recorded during a specific period of time describes.

Whole interval recording is

A time sampling data collection method used to estimate the overall occurrence of a behavior by measuring the number of intervals during which the behavior occurs for the entire duration of an interval.

Partial interval recording is

A time sampling data collection method used to estimate the overall occurrence of a behavior by measuring the number of intervals during which the behaviors occurs at any time within an interval.

On a line graph, variability is observed by looking at

The degree to which the data points bounce around the data path.

Condition change lines are

The vertical lines, drawn upward from the x axis to the top of the graph, that separate the points in time of different independent variable conditions or important changes within a treatment period.

Momentary time sampling is

A time sampling data collection method used to estimate the overall occurrence of a behavior by measuring the number of intervals during which the behavior occurs at the end of an interval.

A planned activity check is

A time sampling data collection method used to estimate the overall occurrence of behaviors of a group of individuals by measuring the number of intervals during which the behavior occurs at the end of the interval.

A measurement artifact is

Data that presents an unwarranted and misleading picture of behavior because of how it was measured, typically a product of time sampling, limiting measurement scales, or poorly scheduled measurement periods.

The quarterly intersent line of progress is

A method of anaylzing the trend of the data on a line graph that involves dividing the data into two equal parts and establishing intersections for mid-rate and mid-date points in order to create a more precise trend line.

Measurement that is trustworthy because the degree to which what was quantitatively measured (obsevered value) is representative of what actually occurred (true value); in other words, the data was measured correctly.

The intensity, frequncy, and duration of the behavioral treatment provided to a client.

The three characterististics of a good operational definition are

Objectives, Clear, and Complete

Direct measures of behavior are defined as

Real time measurement of a behavior as it is occurring, resulting in each instance of the observed behavior being recorded.

Indirect measures of behavior are defined as

A measurement of behavior that is not based on an actual observation of the behavior itself but a secondhand account of the behavior's occurrence.

Trials to criterion measures

The specific number of response opportunities that were needed to achieve a pre-specified level of performance criteria.

A cost benefit analysis is used to

Analyze the potential costs and benefits of implementing a behavioral technology

Measurement that is trustworthy because it produces data that is applicable and specific to the target behavior of interest and the relevant dimension of that behavior; in other words, you measure what you set out to measure.

Reliability refers to

Measurement that is trustworthy because it produces the same result when repeated under the same conditions.

Interobserver agreement (IOA) is a(n)

Measurement of the degree to which two or more observers report the same values when observing and collecting data for teh same behaviors/events.

When observers collecting data unknowingly shift/drift in how they interpret the operational definition of the target behavior, which affects measurement and therefore the validity of their data.

Measurement (observer) bias is

When an oberver's measurement is influenced by an expectation or belief that they hold, rather than what actually occurred.

Observer reactivity is

When an observer's data collection or performance is influenced by the awareness that they are being monitored and evaluated.

An equal - interval graph is

A graph in which the distance between any two consecutive points on the vertical (Y) and horizontal (x) axes is always equal.

A chart used to display the occurrence of behavior across specific time periods. Each data point shows the level of some quantifiable feature of the dependent variable in relation to the independent variable that was in effect when the data was recorded. Each data point is connected by a line that can be used to interpret the overall data in terms of level, trend, and variability.

A chart that displays data using rectangular bars or columns representing unrelated, discrete sets of data with a common dimension.

A cumulative record is

A continuous graph to which new data are added, visually displaying the cumulative total of the behavior over time.

In a cumalative record, an overall response rate is

An average rate of response over a given time period (e.g. during a specific session/phase)

In a cumulative record, the local response rate is

The average rate of response generated during specific periods of time that are smaller than the overall period used to calculate the overall response rate.

A chart and measurement system that displays patterns related to behavior and specific time and setting variables.

A standard celeration chart is

A semi logarithmic chart that is a standardized process for charting and analyzing how the rate of behavior changes over time.

The split middle line of progress is

A line drawn on a line graph that repesents the general direction of the data; used to visually analyze the overall trend of the graphed data.

Also knowns as the horinzontal axis of a graph, and typically represents the dates across which data were collected.

Also known as the vertical axis of a graph, and displays the numerical data being recorded.

An intentionally placed break on the x axis to indicate time periods during which data were not collected (discontinuities in time)

A symbol on a graph that represents the quantity recorded during a specific observation period.
