SPE 525 TEST WITH CORRECT
ANSWERS
Measurement - ANSWER systematic & objective quantification of objects,events, behaviors
define target behavior - ANSWER 1) observable
- measurable reversible DV - ANSWER behaviors revert to baseline non- reversible DV - ANSWER absence of intervention condition examples of reversible DV - ANSWER aggrestion, on-task behavior, activestudent responding, social interactions
examples of non-reversible DV - ANSWER academic, functional, motorbehavior
what is the most common DV in research? - ANSWER direct, systematic
observation recording (DSOR) continuous recording - ANSWER counting or timing each behavioroccurrence (superior)
non-continuous recording - ANSWER sampling behavior occurrence toestimate actual count or time
onset - ANSWER moment a behavior starts to occur offset - ANSWER moment a behavior stops count - ANSWER # of times behavior occurs duration - ANSWER amount of time for which behavior occurs in total latency - ANSWER amount of time between a signal or cue and onset oftarget behavior
inter-response time - ANSWER amount of time that passes between offset ofbehavior and onset of next behavior occurrence
- examples and non-examples mentalistic terms - ANSWER hypothetical constructs (things that we can't seeor hear ex. frustration)
Operational Definition are ... - ANSWER topography or form why are operational definitions important? - ANSWER 1) data collection2) consistency
- comparison
- objectivity 3 types of data collection - ANSWER 1) direct
- indirect
- Permanent product permanent product - ANSWER ex post facto ( measures effect of behavior)ex. records
indirect - ANSWER interviews, rating scales
direct - ANSWER ABC charts, A records direct measurements of behavior are - ANSWER 1) Frequency
- ratio3) Precentage
- Duration
- Latency6) inter-response time
interobserver agreement - ANSWER 2 different ppl observe the samebehavior at the same real time
Form of behavior - ANSWER 1) topography
- magnitude Topography - ANSWER form, appearance, or shape of behavior (physical ornatural features)
magnitude - ANSWER force or intensity (strength of behavior)
trials to criterion means - ANSWER how long it takes a person to reach theirfull criterion
