C.6 Design & Apply discontinuous measurement procedures (interval recording, time sampling)

the term TIME SAMPLING refers to a variety of methods for observing and recording A) a sample of behavior during intervals or at specified moments in time B) every instance of behavior as it happens C) every instance of a behavior for a representative period of time

a sample of behavior during intervals or at specified moments in time

with partial interval recording, you record the behavior if it occurs __ __ __ __ __ __

at any time during the interval

with momentary time sampling, you record the behavior if it occurs __ __ __ __ __ __

at the end of the interval

the whole interval method underestimates the actual duration of behavior A) because rarely do occurrences of the behavior occur throughout the entire interval B) because all time sampling methods underestimate the actual occurrence of behavior C) because behavior may occur during a small part of the interval but the entire interval is scored D) when occurrences of the behavior continue after the observation interval ends

because rarely do occurrences of the behavior occur throughout the entire interval

the partial interval method overestimates the actual occurrence of behavior because A) behavior is only observed and recorded during a portion of each interval B) behavior may occur during a small part of the interval but the entire interval is scored C) all time sampling methods overestimate the actual occurrence of behavior D) any behavior that does not occur for the entire interval is not counted

behavior may occur during a small part of the interval but the entire interval is scored

whole interval recording is often used when measuring A) behavior that occur at such high rate that it is difficult to distinguish one response from the next B) behaviors that occur at such a low rate that it is difficult to maintain constant observation for a sustained period of time C) several behaviors at the same time or behaviors that co-occur with other higher rate target behaviors

behavior that occur at such high rate that it is difficult to distinguish one response from the next

time sampling recording procedures are particularly well suited for __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __

behaviors that do not a discrete start and end

whole interval recording is often used when measuring __ __

continuous behavior

when using whole interval recording, your data are more likely to underestimate the actual rate or duration of the target behavior when the observation period is divided into ___ ___

longer intervals

when using partial interval recording, your data are more likely to overestimate the actual rate or duration of the target behavior when measuring A) high frequency behavior B) continuous behavior C) low frequency behavior D) discrete behavior

low frequency behavior

the teacher records when a student is reading by marking a plus for each 5min interval where the student is looking at the book page at the end of the interval. which sampling procedure is the teacher using __ __ __

momentary time sampling

time sampling data A) are best collected when one records the behavior while at the same time, watches the timer to track the recording intervals B) are typically used when it is easy and convenient to observe all occurrences of the target behavior C) more closely estimate the amount of behavior when intervals are short and observations are conducted frequently D) do not represent the real time occurrences of the target behaviors at the time they were collected

more closely estimate the amount of behavior when intervals are short and observations are conducted frequently

when using a partial interval recording procedure, indictee an occurrence only if the behavior __ __ __ __ __ __ __

occurs at any time during the interval

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

the teacher records when a student is reading by marking a plus for each 5min interval where the student has looked at the book page for any amount of time during the interval. which sampling procedure is the teacher using?

partial interval recording

with whole interval recording, you record the behavior is it occurs __ __ __ __

throughout the entire interval

when using momentary time sampling A) use only fixed intervals B) record the duration of behavior at the end of the interval C) use intervals that are either variable or fixed

use intervals that are either variable or fixed

using a momentary time sampling procedure, it is necessary to observe __ __ __ ____ __ __ __

very briefly at the end of the interval

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

the teacher records when a student is reading by marking a plus for each 5min interval where the student has been looking at the book page for the entire interval. which sampling procedure is the teacher using?

whole interval recording
