RBT Training: Discontinuous Data Collection

Questions and Answers

What is Partial Interval Recording?

Method of discontinuous data collection in which behavior is marked as occurring or not occurring at any point during the interval, regardless of duration or frequency.

When might Partial Interval Recording be considered?

The behavior occurs infrequently

Better to overestimate than underestimate behavior (correct)

Estimation of the time engaged in behavior is crucial

Sensitive to change during the designated interval (correct)

What characterizes Whole Interval Recording?

Method of discontinuous data collection in which the interval is marked if the behavior occurs throughout the interval.

Study Notes

Data Collection Methods

Partial Interval Recording: Behavior recorded as occurring or not during an interval, regardless of duration or frequency.
Considerations for Partial Interval: Suitable when behavior occurs frequently, overestimation is acceptable, and duration measurement is unnecessary.
Whole Interval Recording: Behavior marked if it occurs throughout the entire interval.
Considerations for Whole Interval: Best for frequent behaviors, underestimation is preferred, and time spent on behavior is not required.
Momentary Time Sampling: Behavior noted if it occurs at a specific point within an interval, typically at the beginning.
Considerations for Momentary Time Sampling: Appropriate for frequent behaviors, underestimating occurrences, and not needing precise duration data.
Planned Activity Check (PLA-CHECK): Applies momentary time sampling to groups, recording the number of individuals engaged in target behavior at designated times.

Data Collection Appropriateness

PLA-CHECK Usage: Effective for evaluating group interventions and must focus on behaviors practical for scanning, assessing the group as a whole.

Reinforcement and Behavior

Negatively Reinforced Behavior: Example of behavioral avoidance—Marla's headaches prevent her from reading in class.

Data Collection Requirements

Discontinuous data collection relies on sampling methods to gather information on behavior occurrences.

Self-Advocacy

Defined as decreasing reliance on others and asserting one's rights effectively.

Measurement Approaches

Conservative Estimate Method: Momentary Time Sampling offers the least optimistic estimate of behavior.
Inter-response Time: Measures time between iterations of the same behavior.

Misconceptions and Facts

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Level 1, were not necessarily diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder, NOS.
Whole Interval Recording provides an underestimate of behavior occurrences.
Frequency counts are impractical for fast talkers; duration data is better for measuring speech.
Observing whether a behavior occurs at intervals is an application of Momentary Time Sampling.

Task Analysis & Techniques

Four types of task analysis is a misconception; the actual number is less.
Using latency measures can track replacement behaviors effectively.
The focus of early emotion management lessons is on labeling emotions and preventing aggression.

Miscellaneous Notes

Time delay procedures in behavior modification can be progressive or constant.
Constant data collection occurs continuously throughout an observation period.
