C-07 Design & Implement Sampling Procedures (i.e., Interval Recording, Time Sampling) - Part 2 - Advantages & Disadvantages

Which measurement procedures are listed from most accurate to last accurate for measuring discrete behaviors with consistent duration?

event recording, short partial-interval recording, long partial-interval recording, momentary time sampling

Continuous measurement refers to recording

every occurrence of a target behavior during a particular observation period.

Which of the following properties are recorded using continuous measurement procedures?

frequency, duration

An advantage of continuous measurement relative to discontinuous measurement is that it

is more accurate.

Momentary time sampling data collection

is used where the data collector cannot observe all of the time.

Which of the following are discontinuous measurement procedures?

momentary time sampling, partial and whole-interval recording

For behaviors that are largely continuous or do not have clear onset or offset, if your goal is to reduce behavior, the behavior should be measured using

partial-interval recording.

If the data collector no longer has to observe for the remainder of the interval once she records the behavior, she is using a

time sampling measurement procedure.

Whole-interval recording tends to

underestimate duration.

Partial-interval recording tends to

underestimate high frequency behavior.

For behaviors that are largely continuous or do not have clear onset or offset, if your goal is to increase the duration of the behavior, the behavior should be measured using

whole-interval recording.

Discontinuous measurement may refer to recording the occurrence of behavior when exhibited

(all of the above) - 1. any time during an interval 2. during an entire interval 3. at a particular moment at the end of an interval

Time sampling data collection

(all of the above) - 1. yawls data that are reported as percentages. 2. procedures have some inherent error. 3. is popular and frequently used.

Time sampling recording procedures are particularly well suited for

behaviors that do not have a discrete start and end.

Time sampling measurement refers to recording the occurrence of behavior when exhibited

during an entire interval, part of an interval, or at a particular moment at the end of an interval.
