Study questions Behavior Analysis for Lasting Change, Chapter 7.

Study questions Behavior Analysis for Lasting Change, Chapter 7.

1. What is a behavioral assessment, and what are the 3 purposes of Chapter 7?

2. What are four characteristics of a good measurement system? Identify and define each.

3. What is meant by ‘reactivity’?

4. Identify at least 4 methods to minimize reactive effect?

5. What is meant by ‘adaptation’? Why is this important to consider?

6. Define observational bias.

7. TRUE OR FALSE: Transitory behaviors can be observed and counted, but they do not result in tangible outcomes/products.

8. Define event/frequency recording and give an example of when you might use this method.

9. How do you calculate rate of event recording?

10. What is interval time sampling?

11. What is partial interval time sampling?

12. What is whole interval time sampling?

13. What is momentary time sampling?

14. Which of the following would tend to yield the most valid measure for paying attention?

1. 1. Permanent product recording
   2. Whole interval time sampling
   3. Event recording
   4. Partial interval time sampling

15. During consultation within an educational setting, which observational system would be the most appropriate to ask a teacher or parent to use?

1. 1. Whole interval time sampling
   2. Momentary time sampling
   3. Partial interval time sampling
   4. None of the above.  They all require too much time.

16. Which of the following is an accurate behavioral assessment sequence?
    1. Evaluate outcome; define target behavior; select measures
    2. Define target behavior; select measures; evaluate outcome
    3. Select measures; define target behavior; evaluate outcome
    4. Select measures; evaluate outcome; define target behavior

17. In making a baseline assessment of behavior, you should:
    1. Record the behavior 20 to 30 minutes after it occurs
    2. Record the behavior for about an hour and then implement a behavior management plan
    3. First attempt to change the behavior and then collect baseline data
    4. Record the behavior for several days until a stable behavior pattern occurs before attempting to change it

18. What is the best recording method for discrete behaviors, such as kicking a sibling?
    1. Latency
    2. Event or frequency
    3. Duration
    4. Permanent product

19. Which following statement(s) is/are true?
    1. Whole interval time sampling underestimates behavior and is appropriate when the goal is to increase behavior
    2. Partial interval time sampling underestimates behavior and is appropriate when the goal is to increase behavior
    3. Partial interval time sampling overestimates behavior and is appropriate when the goal is to decrease behavior
    4. Both A and C
    5. Both A and B

20. Which of the following is the least valid method of behavioral assessment?
    1. Direct observation
    2. Interview
    3. Checklists
    4. Recall
