Describe how to prepare for data collection - ANSWER-Have visuals and data sheets organized and ready
for data collection. Prepare your workspace in advance. Make sure to acquire necessary tools (clipboard,
clicker , notepad)
Implement continuous measurement procedures (frequency, duration) - ANSWER-Frequency- the
number of times a behavior occurs during a time span. Duration- how long the behavior lasts from start
to finish. (typically use frequency at Sendan)
Partial interval recording - ANSWER-An occurrence of behavior is recorded if it takes place at any time
during the observation interval; it does not need to span the entire interval. (screaming); tends to
overestimate behavior
momentary time sampling - ANSWER-an occurrence of the target behavior is recorded if it occurs at the
moment the interval ends. This behavior tracking method is useful for behaviors that can persist for
awhile (e.g., in-seat behavior, stereotypy, and nail biting). Should be a pre-determined increment (eg.
every 3 minutes)
whole interval recording - ANSWER-the target behavior must span the complete length of the
observation interval. An example would be on-task behavior. Tends to underestimate behavior
Implement permanent product recording measurement procedures - ANSWER-Any environmental effect
that results from a behavior can be measured as a permanent product.Designed to track an enduring
outcome of behavior (number of math problems completed, postcard made, coloring page finished)
Enter data and update graphs - ANSWER-Be able to summarize and graph data within 15-20 minutes,
write an objective and behavioral summary of major session points, use a program checklist. Sendan
uses line graphs.
, Define and provide examples of behavior and the environment in observable and measurable terms. -
ANSWER-Behavior must be operationally defined. Describing behavior as simply behavior allows it to be
observed, and therefore measured. ABC narrative data format can help define behaviors
single stimulus preference assessments - ANSWER-A stimulus is presented and the person's reaction to it
is noted. May best be suited for individuals with trouble selecting from two or more stimuli.
paired stimulus preference assessment - ANSWER-Each trial in the paired choice preference assessment
consists of the simultaneous presentation of two stimuli. Each stimulus is matched with all other stimuli
in the set. The observer notes which stimulus the earner chooses. The stimuli are rank-ordered in terms
of high, medium, and low preference based on how many times a stimuli is chosen. Also Known As:
Forced Choice.
Free operant observations - ANSWER-Observing and recording what activities the target person engages
in when she can choose during a period of unrestricted access to numerous activities.
multiple stimulus without replacement (MSWO) - ANSWER-an individual makes choices between
multiple stimuli, and each chosen stimulus is subsequently eliminated from the choice array.
multiple stimulus with replacement (MSW) - ANSWER-an individual makes choices between multiple
stimuli, and after a choice is made the stimulus is subsequently replaced before trialed again.
Describe how you would assist with individualized assessment procedures (e.g., curriculum-based,
developmental, social skills.) - ANSWER-Conduct probes to gain an understanding of the child's abilities.
May involve running discrete trials without reinforcement. (eg. what is this? about different community
members to see what the child knows)
Assist with functional assessment procedures. - ANSWER-A CBT may be asked to complete ABC narrative
data as part of the assessment. Typically, the behavior specialist will be responsible for gathering
information about the client and behavior from other sources such as interviews with parents, peers,
and/or teachers. Report, IEP and other document reviews represent additional indirect methods of
information gathering.
