BEHV 5622 - Study Guide: CHH Chapter 4 - Measuring Behavior, pages 83-100
Tallying the number of individuals engaged in specified behaviors and comparing this to the total number of individuals in the group is an example of momentary time sampling partial interval recording whole interval recording "placheck"
"placheck"
An example of a permanent product is a(n) (Select all that apply) written assignment videotape audiotape completed task
all of the above
Behaviors that do not naturally produce permanent products can be recorded using (Select all that apply) handheld electronic devices audio recording computer hardware and software video recording
all of the above
Measurement of permanent products can have the advantage of (Select all that apply) allowing the practitioner to be doing something else when the behavior occurs enabling data collection on two or more people behaving at the same time facilitating data collection for interobserver agreement allowing measurement of behaviors that occur at inaccessible times or places
all of the above
What recording method provides data for discrete trials behaviors? partial interval placheck event permanent product
event
Counting or tallying behaviors as they occur is called: event recording momentary time sampling latency recording interval recording
event recording
Which of the following is an advantage of event recording? (Select all that apply) practitioners do not have to observe the behavior as it occurs it is easy it always results in a numerical product a therapist or teacher can collect the data while continuing instruction
it is easy it always results in a numerical product a therapist or teacher can collect the data while continuing instruction
What recording procedure is concerned with recording the presence or absence of behaviors immediately following specified time intervals? latency momentary time sampling interval duration
momentary time sampling
The disadvantage of using a clipboard and stopwatch to collect interval recording data is that: stopwatches are expensive stopwatches are not precise enough observers must look away to observe the stopwatch stopwatches must be attached to the clipboard
observers must look away to observe the stopwatch
Measuring the presence or absence of behavior within specific intervals is called _________________ recording. partial interval event duration latency
partial interval
Which observational recording procedure requires the observer to record whether the behavior was present or absent at any time during the time interval? duration partial interval latency whole interval
partial interval
Which recording method often overestimates the overall percentage of observation periods in which the behavior occurred? frequency partial interval whole interval momentary time sample
partial interval
Which recording method measures behavior based on its effects on the environment? event permanent products placheck artifact
permanent products
Which of the following is NOT an item that can facilitate the process of event recording? golf counters stop watch digital counters abacus wrist counters
stop watch
Which of the following is NOT true when using event recording? target behaviors must be discrete used for continuous behaviors occurring across time measures the number of times a behavior occurs behaviors should not occur at high rates
used for continuous behaviors occurring across time
Which observational recording procedure requires the presence of the behavior throughout the entire interval? partial interval duration latency whole interval
whole interval
Which recording method often underestimates the overall percentage of observation periods in which the behavior occurred? whole interval partial interval momentary time sample frequency
whole interval
Which recording method provides data on a sample of the occurrence? duration permanent products whole interval event
whole interval
Which recording method provides data on duration per occurrence? whole interval momentary time sample frequency partial interval
whole interval
