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.
