Whole interval: - ANS-When a target behavior is recording to have occurred only if the behavior
of interest is observed throughout the entire time interval
Momentary time sampling - ANS-When a target behavior is recorded to have occurred if it is
observed at a specific point during the time interval
Partial interval - ANS-When a target behavior is recorded to have occurred if it is observed at
any point during the time interval

ANS-The environment
What is a strength of latency and inter-response time data collection? - ANS-When the

ANS-Duration
The force or intensity of a target behavior refers to its magnitude. - ANS-True
, A behavior is a _______, and the environment is ________. - ANS-Activity of the entire

collecting? - ANS-Duration
Calculate mean duration IOA - ANS-
Time sampling refers to a variety of procedures used for detecting and recording the number of
times an instance of behavior occurs. - ANS-False
The amount of time between the termination of one instance of target behavior and the onset of
the next instance of target behavior is called: - ANS-Inter-response time
Operant conditioning refers to:
Select one:
a. the process and selective effects of consequences on behavior
b. the process and selective effects of
c. the process and selective effects of pairing - ANS-the process and selective effects of
consequences on behavior
