Question
What is the definition of measurement in the context of behavior analysis?
Page 1
Answer
The process of collecting data on behavior.
2
Question
What characterizes continuous measurement of behavior?
Page 1
Answer
Recording every instance of behavior.
3
Question
How does discontinuous measurement differ from continuous measurement?
Page 1
Answer
Recording only some instances of behavior, unlike continuous which records every instance.
4
Question
What does frequency or count measure in behavior analysis?
Page 1
Answer
Number of times a behavior occurs.
5
Question
How is rate calculated in behavioral measurement?
Page 1
Answer
Frequency divided by time.
6
Question
What does duration measure about a behavior?
Page 1
Answer
How long a behavior lasts.
7
Question
What is latency in the context of behavior measurement?
Page 1
Answer
Time between instruction and response.
8
Question
What does interresponse time (IRT) represent?
Page 1
Answer
Time between responses.
9
Question
In partial interval recording, when is the interval marked as positive?
Page 1
Answer
Behavior occurs at any point during interval.
10
Question
How does whole interval recording differ from partial interval recording?
Page 1
Answer
Behavior occurs during entire interval, unlike partial which requires only any point.
11
Question
What is momentary time sampling in behavior measurement?
Page 1
Answer
Behavior occurring at the exact moment checked.
12
Question
What defines permanent product measurement?
Page 1
Answer
Measuring behavior after it occurs.
13
Question

15
Question
What characterizes indirect assessment?
Page 2
Answer
Information from interviews or rating scales.
16
Question
How does direct assessment differ from indirect assessment?
Page 2
Answer
Observing behavior directly, unlike indirect which uses interviews or scales.
17
Question
What is the goal of functional behavior assessment (FBA)?
Page 2
Answer
Identifying function of behavior.
18
Question
What is an antecedent in functional behavior assessment?
Page 2
Answer
What happens before behavior.
19
Question
How is behavior defined in the ABC model of FBA?
Page 2
Answer
Observable and measurable action.
20
Question
What is a consequence in functional behavior assessment?
Page 2
Answer
What happens after behavior.
21
Question
What does the function of behavior explain?

Answer
Reason behavior continues.
22
