Momentary time sampling as a data collection method - Answer -Every 3 minutes, Sally counts the
number of students playing together vs. the number of students playing by themselves. At the end of a
30 minute observation period, Sally counts the percent of social engagement for all students by
averaging the score on each interval.
Discontinuos data collection - Answer -Data that is taken of some sample of the behavior, not each and
every instance of the behavior of interest.
Continuous data collection - Answer -Data that is taken on each and every instance of behavior.
Types of Discontinuous Data Collection - Answer -Momentary Time Sampling - .
Partial Interval Recording
Whole Interval Recording
Whole Interval Recording - Answer -Whole Interval Recording - recording data (YES or NO) if the behavior
occurs for the ENTIRETY of an observation interval. For example, if the behavior occurs for 59 seconds
out of a 60 second observation interval, you would not score that interval! That seems pretty arbitrary,
but it has it's benefits - imagine a scenario where you are attempting to take data on many learners who
are supposed to be working on independent work. These same learners must raise their hand if they'd
like to get up from their table work. You could easily task a single teacher with taking WIR data on 5 or
even 10 kids, and if you're interested in seeing an increase in their in-seat, on-task behavior, this would
be a conservative measure of those behaviors -- a graph with a score of 100% would truly represent
mastery, as even a single second of out-of-seat behavior would cost them an entire interval's score!
Partial Interval Recording - Answer -recording data (YES or NO) if the behavior occurs for any part of a
given interval. For example, if the behavior occurs for 1 second or for the entire interval, you would still
score it as a single "yes" for that interval. As a result, this type of recording tends to over-estimate
behavior, which may be a good thing, depending on what you're trying to measure. For example, if
you're teaching someone not to bite their teachers, even 1 second of biting could be pretty painful and
, disruptive. Therefore, you'd be happy with overestimation as it would help guide treatment decisions in
the right direction.
Momentary Time Sampling - - Answer -recording data (YES or NO) regarding the occurrence of a
behavior at a specific moment in time. This means that if the behavior was occurring for the entirety of
the interval, but just happened to briefly stop at the point in time in which we observe the behavior, we
might still mark 'no.' This is one of the obvious drawbacks of this data collection scheme. One of the up-
sides is that it's relatively resource unintensive - a single data collector could easily take data on many
individuals simultaneously without becoming too overloaded.
Tommy walks up to Sally and says "Hey, do you know the time?" and Sally responds, "It is 3 o'clock!"
Sally's verbal behavior, in this instance, would be best classified as a what type of operant? - Answer -
Tommy's behavior is an example of a mand: he is requesting information, or more specifically, what time
it is.
Sally's behavior is an example of an intraverbal: she is responding to Tommy's mand by providing the
answer.
Continuous data collection method - Answer -capture every possible occurence of a behavior of interest.
Some of the benefits of continuous measurement systems is they capture every instance of the behavior,
therefore, are much more accurate than discontinuous data collection systems.
Continuous data collection method types - Answer -Frequency - counting each individual event
Inter-Response Time - counting the time from the offset (end) of one response, to the onset (start) of the
next response.
Duration - the number of seconds from the onset (start) of the response to the offset (end) of the
response.
Frequency - Answer -counting each individual event
Inter-Response Time - Answer -Counting the time from the offset (end) of one response, to the onset
(start) of the next response.
Duration - Answer -The number of seconds from the onset (start) of the response to the offset (end) of
the response.
