Psy 833 Midterm Correct Answers Latest
Update
Explain the benefits of interviews as a method for obtaining assessment
information ANS✔✔ Interviews are quick and easy, taking less time than
ABC assessments.Interviews can allow for identifying correlating events and
assist in coming up with hypothesis about the functions of the behavior and
formulating intervention strategies. Interviews allow the interviewer to
obtain clear and objective information about the problem behaviors,
antecedents, and consequences. An interview can indicate when the
problem behavior is most likely to occur, it can teach the client or informant
about functional assessment, and it can teach them that behaviors must be
identified and specified, allowing them to focus on antecedents and
consequences.
Explain the benefits to practitioners of using observable and measurable
terms to describe behaviors and intervention outcomes. ANS✔✔ Observable
and measurable terms help practitioners find out whether or when the
behavior has changed, the extent and duration of the behavior change, and
the variability or stability of behavior before, during and after treatment.
Ensuring that behaviors are explained in observable and measurable terms
also aid the practitioners to study the effect of the environment on
behavior, allowing them to develop an operational definition.
Describe the difference between whole-interval and partial-interval
recording ANS✔✔ The major difference between whole-interval and partial
interval recording is that partial-interval duration does not provide
information on duration per occurrence. Partial-interval recording does not
record the behavior throughout the entire interval, only for one point during
the specified interval.
