Continuous Measurement Procedures (Ans- records every possible behavioral occurrence
Frequency- recording each instance of behavior Duration- number of seconds each instance of behavior occurs Latency- elapsed time from onset of stimulus to initiation of response.Inter-Response Time (IRT)- elapsed time between two successive responses.
Discontinuous Measurement Procedures (Ans- Recording a sample of instances of the target behavior according to predetermined schedule
(e.g., momentary time sampling, partial interval, and whole interval)
Partial Interval (Ans- behavior is recorded as occurring, if it occurs at least once during the predetermined interval
Whole Interval (Ans- behavior is recorded as occurring if it is observed throughout an
ENTIRE INTERVAL
-> all or nothing
Momentary time sample (Ans- at the end of a predetermined interval, a recording is made if the target behavior is occurring AT THAT MOMENT

Permanent Product Recording (Ans- Recording tangible items or environmental effects that result from a behavior, for example, written academic work (also called outcome recording).
line graph
(Ans- x- axis : TIME
y- axis : MEASUREMENT
Phase Change Line (line graph) (Ans- allows for separation of data from before treatment (baseline) and during/after treatment to compare changes in bx
cumulative records (Ans- record of behaviors that have occurred over time
Assessment category (Ans- Describe the behavior and environment in observable & measurable terms.
Reinforcement and punishment are part of which category?(Ans- assessment
Reinforcement vs. Punishment (Ans- reinforcement increases behavior, punishment decreases behavior
positive punishment (Ans- the administration of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior's recurring
- / 3
negative punishment (Ans- the removal of a stimulus to decrease the probability of a behavior's recurring
positive reinforcement (Ans- Increasing behaviors by presenting positive stimuli, such as food. A positive reinforcer is any stimulus that, when presented after a response, strengthens the response.
negative reinforcement (Ans- Increasing behaviors by stopping or reducing negative stimuli, such as shock. A negative reinforcer is any stimulus that, when removed after a
response, strengthens the response. (Note: negative reinforcement is not
punishment.)
Conduct preference assessments (Ans- Determining what items are the most preferred by a client in order to increase the clients motivation to complete tasks and instructions.
ex: Single stimuli, Multiple stimuli with replacement, Multiple stimuli without
replacement
Single Stimulus (Ans- present one at a time in random order and the person's reaction to each is recorded
Multiple stimuli with replacement (Ans- Item chosen by the learner remains in the array and all other items that were not selected are replaced with new ones
Multiple stimuli without replacement (Ans- Chosen item is removed from the array, the order or replacement of the remaining items is rearranged, and the next trial begins with a reduced number of items in the array.
