Unit 3 Knowledge Check

How do you prepare for data collection?

• sanitize the area, data collection materials, know what you are measuring

• wipe down the area, data collection materials

• what are you measuring, pen and paper, clear the area

• who is the student, record behaviors, graph

What is the main purpose of collecting data?

• It is the fundamentals and foundation for the science of ABA and the environment of learning

• Shows functional relations between socially significant behaviors and environmental variables

• It shows us what the real "problem" is

• It gives us a solution to behavior problems

Sarah want to collect how many times her student raised his hand during math class. What measurement system would Sarah want to use?

• Duration

• Latency

• Count (Frequency)

• Inter-Response Time

Timmy's teacher notices that he is getting out of his seat a lot during lunch. She suspects that he is spending more time out of his seat, rather than in his seat. The teacher wants to collect how long Timmy spends out of his seat. What measurement system would Timmy's teacher use?

• Partial Interval Recording

• Durataion

• Latency

Courtney's teacher notices it takes her awhile to start working on her homework once she announces it is work time. What measurement system would you use to measure how long it takes Courtney to start working, after her teacher says it is time to start?

• Count

• Latency

• Momentary Time Sampling

• Duration

You have a student that blurts out in class quite often and you are trying to figure out how much time is between each instance of blurting. What measurement system would you use?

• Inter-Response Time

• Duration

• Latency

• Count

You have a student, and you want to measure on-task behavior during a specific interval of time. You want to measure whether or not the student is working on math during the entire 30 second interval.

Which measurement system are you using?

• Partial Interval Recording

• Momentary Time Sampling

• Whole Interval Recording

• Duration

During class instruction, Sarah sometimes answers appropriately and sometimes she screams. During a 10 second interval, you want to know if Sarah screams at any point during the interval.

Which measurement system are you using?

• Duration

• Partial Interval Recording

• Whole Interval Recording

• Momentary Time Sampling

A teacher is looking at on-task behavior for a specific student, but he doesn't have time to continuously observe the student. The student is typically on-task, so he marks if the student is on task at the end of the 1-minute interval.

What measurement system is the teacher using?

• Momentary Time Sampling

• PLACHECK

• Whole Interval Recording

• Duration

During math class, Nick crumples up 21 pieces of paper and throws them across the room. In regard to the measurement, those 21 pieces of paper are considered what?
