Data/Collection/Behavior/Decisions
Why would the prompt level necessary to perform the skill be an important part of data collection?
Skills performed with prompts are not mastered until they are performed without prompts
Why is it important to record data as close to the time the behavior actually occurred as possible?
So the data will be more likely to reflect an accurate picture of the behavior
If a learner is requiring more and more prompting to perform a skill, the first concern is
The learner is becoming prompt dependent.
Data are plotted on line graphs according to
The number of instances of the behavior across time
Susan records data after every discrete trial she delivers. What type of data recording is this?
Trial by trial
Cumulative graphs are used:
When progress toward a predetermined number of behaviors should be demonstrated
Which of the following is a discontinuous data recording procedure?
Whole interval recording
The x axis on a graph is
Horizontal and is also called the abscissa
Visual inspection is
Making a judgement about the effects of an intervention by examining graphed data
The process of defining target behaviors using a precise definition is called
Operationally defining the behavior
Which of the following data recording procedures is best used for behaviors that have a clear ending and beginning, do not occur throughout an interval, but still occur at high rates?
Partial interval
Why are trends sometimes necessary to include on line graphs?
Data paths are not always clear
A disadvantage of bar graphs is
The variability of data can be lost
A trend that ascends from left to right means
A behavior is increasing
Recently, Mario's tantrums seem to last longer. Which data recording procedure might be the best one to use to determine this?
