Study Notes
Structured Observations
- Involves data collection and management using spreadsheets, electronic assessments, and data tracking software.
- Typically carried out in natural settings to capture authentic behavior.
Standardized Testing
- Provides consistent information through administering and scoring items according to prescribed procedures.
- Standardized assessments must be conducted strictly to maintain integrity and comparability of results.
RBT Limitations
- Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) cannot administer standardized assessments or enter data into electronic platforms for these assessments.
- It is deemed unethical for RBTs to simultaneously serve as interventionists and informants in skills assessments.
Standardized Assessment Characteristics
- Tests developed using psychometric principles, ensuring uniform administration and scoring.
- Must utilize specific prescribed processes for accurate evaluation and comparison.
Reporting Variations
- Any deviation from prescribed standardized testing procedures should be reported to the supervising BCBA.
Developmental Checklists
- Primarily utilized for assessing infants and toddlers, supporting early developmental tracking.
Skills Types
- Component skills are foundational skills that contribute to the acquisition of larger composite skills.
Repeated Measures
- A tracking method that involves repeated assessments over time to monitor progress effectively.
Diagnostic Assessments
- Conducted by psychologists and BCBA professionals to evaluate diagnostic impressions and present conditions.
Behavior Analytic Assessments
- Used to identify specific target behaviors, collect baseline data, and monitor treatment outcomes.
Adaptive Skills Assessment
- Assessments like shoe tying fall under adaptive skills, focusing on practical life skills.
Language and Communication Skills Focus
- Assessments conducted by behavior analysts target expressive and receptive language, grounded in Skinner's analysis of verbal behavior.
Assessment of Sexuality
- Evaluated as an adaptive skill within the context of behavior assessment.
Pre-Academic Skills
- Examples include matching to sample and sitting in a seat, representing foundational readiness for academic tasks.
Reprimands and Reinforcement
- Classified as positive punishment, contributing to behavior modification efforts.
