ABA DATA COLLECTION, GRAPHING TESTQUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
There are three main methods of data collection - ANSWER 1: frequency.
2. Interval.
3. Duration.
Use the appropriate kind based on the information to be collected. Can be
collected with available resources.
Event Recording - Answer Counting the number of times a particular behaviour
occurs.
Every time the pupil exhibits the desired behaviour, a tally is kept.
This count is performed within a specific time frame, such as a 30-minute
session.
used to increase or diminish a behaviour.
Must have a defined beginning and end.
Interval Recording - ANSWER utilized for behaviour s that appear
continuously.
Divide the observation period into shorter periods of time. Usually 10 seconds
to 1 minute.
Record + if the behaviour occurs.
Record whether the behaviour does not occur during the interval.
Duration Recording - Answer The length of time the pupil exhibits the
behaviour.
Start the timer when the pupil begins the behaviour and stop it when it is
finished.
Time sampling - ANSWER Setup normally takes minutes.
, The observer only looks at the student at the conclusion of the interval and
reports if the behaviour is occurring at that time.
Latency Recording: ANSWER Focuses on time rather than frequency.
How long it takes a pupil to begin executing a specific behaviour after it has
been requested.
Take note of when you give the learner a directive and when she begins to
respond.
Baseline data: ANSWER The initial data is obtained without any interventions.
You are simply keeping track of how frequently the behaviour occurs.
Why do we collect data on behaviour? ANSWER: Data helps us understand
why certain behaviour s occur and do not occur.
- Data enables us to determine if our support initiatives are effective or not.
The easiest approach to make sense of the data acquired on the behaviour of the
people we help is to graph it.
Graphs allow us to understand how behaviour changes over time and whether it
improves, deteriorates, or remains constant.
Line graph - ANSWER
Bar Graph - Answer
Parts of a line graph.
Bottom X axis: ANSWER The bottom X axis displays the period of time in
which the data was collected.
Parts of a line graph.
Side Y axis - ANSWER. The behaviour summary is shown on the side Y axis.
For example, the number of times a given behaviour occurred.
Parts of a line graph.
