Anecdotal records
|
Refers to recording the antecedents, behaviors, and consequences occurring in an environment an involving the individual subject; often used to identify and define a target behavior and interventions.
|
|
Permanent products
|
These are permanent data forms that may be viewed repeatedly (e.g., paper-pencil products, videotapes, or audiotapes).
|
|
Percent correct
|
Used when the number of opportunities to perform the target behavior may vary from observation to observation.
|
|
Interobserver reliability
|
Two or more observers record the target behavior independently and simultaneously; later, results are compared to determine if the target behavior is being measured reliably; reliability is calculated differently depending on the method used for recording behavior.
|
|
Frequency
|
Used when behavior can easily be counted and the length of the observation is constant, opportunities to perform the behavior should not be a controlled number.
|
|
Rate
|
Used as frequency recording except that length of observations vary; the number of responses per unit of time is calculated and reported (e.g., one response per minute).
|
|
Trials to criterion
|
Used to measure events (occurrence of target behavior) when the researcher wishes to determine how many occurrences are required to achieve a criterion level of performance.
|
|
Cumulative recording
|
Method of estimating the frequency of the target behavior using a period that has been divided into equal intervals of time for individual observations; not to be confused with interval schedules of reinforcement.
|
|
Whole interval
|
Provides a smaller estimate of frequency; behavior is recorded only of it occurs throughout the entire interval.
|
|
Partial interval
|
Provides the greater estimate of frequency; behavior is recorded if emitted at any point during the interval.
|
|
Momentary time sampling
|
Provides the roughest estimate of frequency; behavior is recorded if occurring at a specific movement at the conclusion of an interval; may be used to record behavior of more than one individual simultaneously.
|
|
Magnitude
|
Measure of intensity or strength of the target behavior.
|
|
Topography
|
Measure of the appropriate appearance or correctness of the target behavior.
|
|
Level of assistance
|
Measure of the degree of assistance or help required to emit the target behavior.
|
|
Task analysis recording
|
Often paired with level of assistance recording when the target behavior has been broken down into smaller, more teachable units or steps.
|
|
Duration
|
Used when how long the behavior is emitted is the primary concern; the researcher may record and report duration per occurrence, average duration, or total duration.
|
|
Latency
|
How long it takes for the behavior to occur following the antecedent; the researcher may record and report latency per occurrence, average latency, or total latency,
