Continuous Measurement - Correct answer-Measuring each and every instance of behavior
... [Show More] within the entire observation period.
What are the 5 types of continuous measurement? - Correct answer-Frequency, Rate, Duration, Inter Rate Response (IRR), and Latency.
Frequency - Correct answer-A simple count of the instances of a behavior, represented by a tally.
Example; how many times did John hit another student? You would tally every time John hit another student and present the count as a number. John hit another student five times.
Rate - Correct answer-A frequency count with a time element. This type of continuous measurement is an important measurement when looking at behaviors which are frequent and short, like hitting, raising hands, flapping hands, disrupting another student, yelling.
Example; if you are measuring how many times John hit another student, you would report this as John hits at the rate of five times per hour.
Duration - Correct answer-How long a Behavior occurs. To take this type of data you start a stopwatch when the behavior begins and end the stopwatch when the behavior stops. This data is often reported as an average over time, and is for behaviors that are long lasting like tantrums, social play, how long it takes a child to get dressed.
Inter Rate Response (IRT) - Correct answer-This is the observed time between responses. To take this type of data you start the stopwatch when the behavior ends and stop the stopwatch when the behavior begins again. This type of data is typically reported as an average.
Example; The time between doing math problems, the time between prosocial behaviors.
Latency - Correct answer-This is the time from prompt to the start of the behavior. To take this type of data start the stopwatch when the prompt is given and stop the stopwatch when the behavior starts. You might want to take this type of data when there is a delay between the prompts and when the behavior occurs.
Example; The time from a prompt to get dressed to a person getting dressed, the time from the instruction to begin a math problem to the response.
Discontinuous Measurement - Correct answer-These measurement procedures are classified as samples of the target behavior, but they do not measure every instance of a behavior within the entire observation period. These types of measurement procedures are used when it is too time-consuming to take continuous measurement data.
What are the 3 types of Discontinuous Measurement? - Correct answer-Partial interval, whole interval, and momentary time sampling.
Partial Interval - Correct answer-A type of discontinuous measurement that records the presence or absence of a behavior during a brief interval of time. Intervals are marked as positive if the target behavior occurred at any time during the interval, and negative if the target behavior did not occur during the entire interval.
Example; take an interval of 30 seconds and look for hand flapping behavior. You would mark a positive if the hand flapping behavior occurred at any point during the 30 second intervals, and a negative if it did not.
Whole interval - Correct answer-A discontinuous measurement procedure that records the presence or absence of a behavior during the whole interval. Intervals are marked as a positive if the target behavior occurred during the entire interval, and a negative if the target behavior stopped at any time during the interval.
Example; if you are doing a 30 second intervals and measuring hand flapping behavior, you would mark it positive if the hand flapping behavior occurred during the entire 30 seconds, or negative if the hand flapping behavior stopped at any point in time during those 30 seconds. [Show Less]
