BCAT Exam (Behavioral Data Collection)Measurement dimensions (e.g., rate, duration, percentage) - ANSi) Rate: add up the behaviors
or items over time
ii) Ex: Mary hits 4 them in two hours which equals to 2 times per hour
iii) Duration: amount of times a behavior occurs
Example: Mary cried from 10am to 10:16am. Thus, Mary cried for a total of 16 minutes. iv)
Percentage: ratio form by combining the same dimensional quantities such as count
(1) Example: Mary got 4 out of 10 which equals to 40%.
independent variable - ANSThe variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher in
an experiment to see whether changes in the independent variable produce reliable changes in
the dependent variable. In ABA, it is usually an environmental event or condition antecedent or
consequent to the dependent variable - Example: Token Economy, Candy, Schedule, Praise, etc
dependent variable - ANS- The variable in an experiment measured to determine if it changes
as a result of manipulations of the independent variable. In ABA, it represents some measure of
socially significant behavior - Example: Behavior - Protesting, Non-compliance, Saying Hi,
Mathching Colors, etc.

Measurement procedures (e.g., event recording, timing, time sampling) - ANSi) Event recording:
number of times a behavior occurring
(1) Example: Mary gets out of her seat five times without permission during math seat work
ii) Timing: used to measure duration, response latency, inter-response time
iii) Response latency: the amount of time that elapsed after a direction is given before the child
respond. Or in other words, the elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the time that the
response started,
(1) Example: The teacher said touch dog, and 4 seconds later, the client touched the dog. The
latency is 4 seconds in this scenario
iv) Inter-response time (IRT): Elapsed time between two successive responses.
(1) Example: 13 seconds passed in between the two instances of screaming.
Skill acquisition data - ANSAny data collected during the intervention that reflects the child
current skills or mastered skills
