RBT Training Module 9
Phase change lines indicate:
The division between one condition and another
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
What is an example of discontinuous data recording procedure?
Whole interval recording
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
A disadvantage of bar graph is:
The variability of data can be lost.
Visual inspection is:
Making a judgement about the effects of an intervention by examining graphed data
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
Data collected during naturalistic teaching should always include information about:
Target behaviors, prompt levels needed, and activities
A trend that ascends from left to right means:
A behavior is increasing
Which of the following describes how probe data is collected?
Collect data on the first 3 trials and if responding is independent, discontinue data collection.
What type of graphs indicate the total number of behaviors in an additive fashion?
Cumulative graphs
Why are trends sometimes necessary to include on line graphs?
Data paths are not always clear
Recently, Mario's tantrums seem to last longer. Which data recording procedure might be the best one to use to determine this?
Duration
If data indicate that progress is not being made, which of the following questions could be asked?
Is the skill program being delivered effectively?
What is a drawback of probe data?
It is less accurate.
What is true about data collection?
It is the foundation for creating behavioral interventions.
Which data recording method would be best used to measure the time between when a teacher said to start on an assignment and the time the student started on the assignment?
Latency
The x axis on a graph is:
Horizontal and is also called the abscissa
