You are asked to collect data on aggression. Every time your learner agresses, you click the tally counter. What are you measuring?

• Duration

• Duration per occurrence

• Latency

• Frequency

1. An elementary verbal operant involving a response that is evoked by a verbal discriminative stimulus that has point-to-point correspondence and formal similarity with the response.Example; "Say 'ball'' - "Ball"

• Echoic

• Reinforcement

• Latency

• Duration

You are collecting partial interval data. You have a pen and data sheet. What else might you need to collect data accurately?

• pencil

• graphing paper

• timer/ watch

• paper

Approach or admittance to places, persons, things; an increase; (v) to get at, obtain.

• Escape

John is recording data on aggression by counting the number of scratches left on his body after a session. What kind of measurement is this?

• Continuous measurement

• Permanent product

• Duration

1. decreases in the frequency of a behavior when the behavior is no longer reinforced

• Fixed Ratio

A teacher wears a timer during class. In order to record off-task behavior of one of her students , she looks up each time the timer goes off and indicates whether the behavior is currently occurring or not. What dimension of measurement is this?

• Partial interval recording

• Duration recording

• Momentary time sampling

• Whole interval sampling

An observation that is broken down into intervals, the interval is only recorded if the behavior occurs throughout the entire interval.

• whole interval recording

• rate

• partial interval recording

• duration data

Training a skill in multiple environments, with multiple exemplars and

incorporating common stimuli, can lead to this.

• extinction

• positive reinforcement

• generalization

• negative reinforcement

Clapping, talking, screaming, flapping arms, grabbing items, and smiling.

• behavior

• stimming

• latency

• punishment
