RBTIndirect Measurement - ANS interviews, rating scales, questions, surveys
Direct measurement - ANS observation of the behavior and recording it as it occurs
Behavioral definitions - ANS operational, includes verbs describing behavior, objective +
unambiguous, does not rely on internal states (happy, sad), does not use labels (bad or good)
Operational - ANS describes what the behavior looks like so two independent observers can
recognize + record the same behavior
Indirect Outcome Recording - ANS measures results that produces an observable product in the
environment. main advantage is that it's easy to use
Direct Outcome Recording - ANS instead of relying on memory data is gathered immediately as the
behavior occurs or as it produces results
Event Recording - ANS behavior is observed continuously throughout the observation period, and
each instance of the behavior is recorded immediately as it occurs. Must meet two criteria: Does the
behavior look the same every time? Does the behavior have a clear beginning and end?
Frequency Recording - ANS used for behaviors that have a clear beginning and end, tally the number
of times the behavior occurs
Intensity - ANS magnitude or force of response (only record if this is the aspect of the behavior you
are trying to change)
Duration - ANS how long a behavior persists, should be used if you are trying to decrease how long a
behavior lasts
Latency - ANS time that occurs between the SD and the response (ex. how long to respond to a
peer's question). You record this when the goal is to decrease the time between SD and response
Partial Interval Recording - ANS involves checking off an interval if the behavior occurs at ANY point
within the interval - even if it only occured for 1 second. You can use this for self-stimulatory
, behaviors or behaviors that don't look the same every time. An overexaggeration of the behavior,
you use this method to decrease behavior.
Whole Interval Recording - ANS involves checking off the interval if the behavior occurs throughout
the WHOLE interval. Use when it is difficult to tell when the behavior begins or ends, when it occurs
at such a high rate it is difficult to keep count. An under-exaggeration of behavior, you use this
method to increase behavior.
Momentary Time Sampling Recording - ANS data is less representative than intervals, looking for a
behavior's occurrence during a specific part of the interval and recording if it is occurring at that
precise moment. Ex: setting a timer to go off every minute for a 30 minute interval, only checking for
behavior and marking it down as the timer goes off.
Reinforcement - ANS follows a behavior that increases that behavior
Punishment - ANS follows a behavior that decreases that behavior
Positive Reinforcement - ANS addition of a pleasant stimulus
Negative Reinforcement - ANS removal of an aversive stimulus
Positive Punishment - ANS addition of an aversive stimulus
Negative Punishment - ANS removal of a pleasant stimulus
Motivating Operations - ANS Variables in the environment that alter the relative value of a particular
reinforcer at a particular time.
Deprivation - ANS when a person hasn't had access to a particular reinforcer for a significant period
of time, makes it more potent
Immediacy - ANS the time between the occurrence of the behavior and the delivery of the
reinforcer. The more immediate, the more effective
