Question 1: Self-monitoring

Answer:

When the observer is the person exhibiting the target behavior

Question 2: Frequency-within-interval recording

Answer:

The observer records the frequency of the target behavior but does so within consecutive intervals of time in the observation period

Question 3: Continuous recording

Answer:

When the observer observes the client continuously throughout the observation period and records each occurrence of the behavior

Question 4: Indirect assessment

Answer:

Involves using interviews, questionnaires, and rating scales to obtain information on the target behavior from the person exhibiting the behavior or from others

Question 5: Objectivity

Answer:

Response definitions are observable, unambiguous

Question 6: Analogue Setting

Answer:

An observation setting that is not part of the client's normal daily routine

Question 7: Interobserver agreement (IOA)

Answer:

When two people independently observe the same behavior and both record that the behavior occurred

Question 8: Interval recording

Answer:

A type of behavior recording procedure in which the observation period is divided into a number of consecutive time intervals and the behavior is recorded as occurring or not occurring in each of the intervals

Question 9: Real-time recording

Answer:

The method in which the exact time of each onset and offset of the target behavior is recorded

Question 10: Validity

Answer:

Instrument produces accurate representation of events

Question 11: Natural setting

Answer:

Places in which the target behavior typically occurs

Question 12: Reliability

Answer:

The instrument produces consistent (repeatable) results

Question 13: Rate

Answer:

Frequency divided by the time of the observation period

Question 14: Baseline

Answer:

The period during which the target behavior is recorded before treatment is implemented

Question 15: Momentary time sample recording (MTS)

Answer:

The behavior is recorded only if it occurs at the exact instant the interval ends

Question 16: Duration

Answer:

The total amount of time occupied by the behavior from start to finish

Question 17: Time sample recording

Answer:

When an observer divides the observation period into intervals of time but observes and records the behavior during only part of each interval

Question 18: Intensity

Answer:

The amount of force, energy, or exertion involved in the behavior

Question 19: Interobserver reliability

Answer:

When two people independently observe the same behavior and both record that the behavior occurred

Question 20: Reactivity

Answer:

When the process of recording a behavior causes the behavior to change, even before any treatment is implemented

Question 21: Latency

Answer:

The time from some stimulus or event to the onset of the behavior

Question 22: Unstructured observation

Answer:

When no specific events or activities are arranged and no instructions are given during the observation period

Question 23: Behavioral assessment

Answer:

Measurement of the target behavior

Question 24: Direct assessment

Answer:

A person observes and records the target behavior as it occurs

Question 25: Sensitivity

Answer:

Instrument reflects changes in response

Question 26: Frequency

Answer:

The number of times the behavior occurs in an observation period

Question 27: Structured observation

Answer:

When the observer arranges for specific events or activities to occur during the observation period

Question 28: Observation period

Answer:

The specific period where the observer records the target behavior
