Study Notes
Data Collection Methods
- Partial Interval Recording: Behavior recorded as occurring if noted at any point during the interval, regardless of duration.
- Whole Interval Recording: Behavior marked if fully occurs throughout the entire interval.
- Momentary Time Sampling: Behavior recorded if occurring at a specific moment within the interval, often at the interval's start.
- Planned Activity Check (PLA-CHECK): Applies momentary time sampling to groups, recording individuals engaged in target behaviors.
Behavioral Concepts
- Learning sign language does not hinder speech development.
- Support needs for individuals with developmental disabilities may include supervision.
- Reinforcement differs from mere rewards; they serve a specific function in behavior modification.
Behavior Measurement Techniques
- Forward Chaining: Best method for individuals with short attention spans who struggle with multiple tasks.
- Duration: Effective for measuring problematic behaviors such as ranting, defined as high-volume, rapid, inappropriate speech.
- Graphic Prompt: A visual schedule serves as a form of prompting, aiding understanding and routines.
Data Collection Accuracy
- PLA-CHECK may lead to underestimates of behavior.
- Whole interval recording underestimates behavior occurrences, while partial interval recording leads to overestimation.
- Momentary Time Sampling provides the most conservative estimate of behavior.
Communication and Social Interaction
- Intraverbal: A child's spontaneous response (e.g., "The aquarium!") signifies engagement in conversational exchange.
- First-Then Schedule: A visual communication tool illustrating a contingency between tasks or behaviors.
Reinforcement and Behavior Management
- Social reinforcement typically follows correct responses during motor imitation trials.
- Training children to self-monitor enhances life skills instruction.
- Variable interval schedules for reinforcement improve employee attendance and work motivation.
Behavioral Insights
- Senior citizens with developmental disabilities face risks of inappropriate psychotropic medication prescriptions.
- Frequency and rate measurements can be debated in terms of their meanings and implications in behavioral analysis.
Prompt Fading
- Plans for prompt fading should account for criteria to progress and also incorporate a reversal strategy when necessary.
