Behv 5622 (module 7)According to Fiske & Delmolino, which of the following determine the "quality" of a direct
measurement system? - ANS--The extent to which the system is sensitive to changes in
the occurrence of the behavior.
-The extent to which the system produces reliable outcomes.
-The extent to which the system generates accurate data.
Which of the following are continuous data collection systems? - ANS--duration
recording
-frequency recording
Which of the following are discontinuous data collection systems? - ANS--momentary
time sampling
-whole interval recording
-partial interval recording
Continuous data collection procedures are popular in practice and applied research. -
ANS-False
Partial interval recording measurement error: - ANS-Overestimates the true occurrence
Whole interval recording measurement error: - ANS-underestimates the true occurrence
error
Continuous data collection methods are more accurate and provide a higher quality of
measurement than discontinuous data collection methods. - ANS-true
Which of the following variables affect the accuracy and feasibility of continuous data
collection methods? - ANS--how much effort is required of the observer
-whether or not the behavior is discrete
When treating behavioral deficits in which it is important for behavior to occur at a very
high level, which of the following discontinuous data collection systems should NOT be
used? - ANS-partial interval recording
Which of the discontinuous data collection systems is recommended for cases of
treating behavioral deficits? - ANS-momentary time sampling
, In cases where a high-rate behavior is targeted for decrease, which of the following
discontinuous data collection systems is/are recommended? - ANS--partial interval
recording
-momentary time sampling
The longer the interval duration, the less systematic error will be introduced into a
measurement system. - ANS-False
Which of the following are variables to consider when selecting the duration of the
interval for discontinuous data collection systems? - ANS--too short of an interval
duration increases human error
-the briefer the interval duration, the less systematic errors are introduced
-the upper-bounds at which the interval can still be accurate varies for each
discontinuous data collection system
When considering how long each observation session should last, what do Fiske &
Delmolino recommend practitioners do? - ANS-use longer observations when possible
Treatment decisions can be meaningfully informed by data despite measurement error. -
ANS-true
Understanding the characteristic patterns of measurement error that exist for each
discontinuous data collection system is not necessary. - ANS-false
What are the common purposes for direct observation of student behavior? -
ANS--conducting research examining the relationship between a dependent and an
independent variable
-diagnosing social and/or academic learning patterns
-monitoring the progress and/or change of student behavior over time
Why is single-subject research methodology helpful in examining relationships between
social and academic behavior interventions and student outcomes? - ANS--Applied
Behavior Analysis has strong roots in the field of Emotional/Behavior Disorders.
-There is a history of depending on direct observation to document behavioral
outcomes.
-Students diagnosed with Emotional Behavior Disorders differ greatly from each other.
Which of the follow are true regarding event-based observation systems? - ANS--The
target behavior is recorded every time it meets the operational definition within the
observation period.
