Study Notes
Measurement Procedures in Behavior Analysis
- Effective measurement of problem behavior is crucial for successful assessment and treatment by practicing behavior analysts.
- Various measurement procedures yield different accuracy levels and completeness regarding problem behavior.
- No standardized model exists in literature for integrating multiple considerations in selecting appropriate measurement procedures.
Common Measurement Procedures
- Measurement procedures are context-dependent; not all are suitable for every behavior or situation.
- Common procedures include event recording, permanent product recording, and interval recording methods.
- Observability of behavior, necessary personnel resources, and dimensions of behavior are key factors in deciding measurement types.
Clinical Decision-Making Model
- A proposed clinical decision-making model assists analysts in selecting measurement procedures based on behavioral characteristics and circumstance constraints.
- The model incorporates elements such as the environment, behavior type (free or restricted operant), and goals for terminal behavior.
- The model helps in addressing specific barriers to effective data collection, such as limited observation capacity or uncountable behaviors.
Practical Considerations
- Event recording provides detailed insights into specific behavioral dimensions while momentary time sampling can offer supplemental data.
- When barriers are present, it may necessitate a shift to other measurement approaches to capture significant behavior variations.
- Continuous monitoring of behavior may not always be feasible; alternative strategies should be employed based on available resources.
Goals of the Proposed Model
- It aims to improve the sensitivity and comprehensiveness of evaluations relating to the effects of interventions.
- The model remains untested empirically but is informed by established literature, suggesting potential effectiveness as a preliminary guide.
- Future research should assess the model’s social validity regarding ease of use and relevancy of selected measures in practical settings.
