Data Collection and Analysis (QABA ABAT Exam Study Prep) (Part 6)Define Reliability: - correct answer • When measuring occurrences of behavior, the same measurement was captured repeatedly. Ex) You measured occurrences of hitting in the 1-hour session and it occurred 15 times. When you watch the recording of the session, you record 12 occurrences. - The measurement is NOT reliable because it was different each time (same event) Define Validity: - correct answer • Did the measurement match what was intended to be measured? Ex) Teacher asked for you to measure the area (L x W x H). You measured L x W). The measurement you got was 42 ft2 - The measurement is NOT valid because it doesn't give the area (what you intended to measure). What is Observable Behavior? - correct answer • Actions that can be seen or measured • Behaviors that can be seen with the human eye What is Measurable Behavior? - correct answer • Another person can define and describe the behavior. • The observer can easily identify the behavior including when the behavior begins and ends, and how often it occurs or lasts for. What isa Learner's Behavior? - correct answer • A behavior is explicitly or clearly defined, such that it is measurable • Can be identified by two or more observers • Can be identified across time and in different settings or contexts. What is a Preference Assessment? - correct answer - Assessments used to determine highly preferred items/activities, that can potentially function as reinforcers - Indirect (asking about preferences); free-operant (observation); stimulus preference assessments (trials presented for learner to select preferred item)
