dimensions of measurement of behavior - ANSWER-repeatability, temporal extent, temporal locus
repeatability - ANSWER-instances of a response class can occur repeatedly through time (behavior can be counted-count and rate)
temporal extent - ANSWER-every instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time (duration of behavior can be measured)
temporal locus - ANSWER-every instance of behavior occurs at a certain point in time with respect to other events (when behavior occurs it can be measured)
temporal dimension - ANSWER-focuses on time and when the behavior occurs
in time
derivative measure - ANSWER-data derived from direct measures of dimensional quantities of behavior (percentages and trials-to-criterion)
devices used for event recording - ANSWER-wrist counters, hand-tally digital counters, abacus wrist and shoestring counters, masking tape, pennies, buttons, paper clips, pocket calculators
advantages of event recording - ANSWER-it's easy to do, easy to do while doing other activities such as teaching a class, provides a useful and accurate measurement for most behaviors
disadvantages of event recording - ANSWER-it is difficult to use for behaviors
that do not have specific discrete action or object relations, difficult to determine when the event begins and ends, not useful if the behavior occurs
frequently, does not accommodate behaviors that occur over extended time periods
time sampling - ANSWER-observing and recording behavior in intervals at specific moments in time
partial interval - ANSWER-observer records whether the behavior occurred at
any time during the interval
