Term
|
Definition
| the change in rate of responding over time, based on count per unit of time, expressed as a factor by which responding is accelerating or decelerating, used in Standard Celeration Charts |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a tally of the number of occurrences of a behavior. the observation period length should be noted. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The total time that behavior occurs; measured by elapsed time from the onset of a response to its end point. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| How often a behavior occurs. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A measure of temporal locus, defined as the elapsed time between two successive responses. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The force or intensity with which a response is emitted; provides important quantitative parameters used in defining and verifying the occurrence of some response classes. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| A fundamental measure of how often behavior occurs expressed as count per standard unit of time (e.g., per minute, per hour, per day) and calculated by dividing the number of responses recorded by the number of standard units of time in which observations were conducted |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the fact that a behavior can occur repeatedly throughout time, one of the three dimensional quantities of behavior from which all behavioral measurements are derived. a behavior can be counted. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| every instance of behavior occurs during some amount of time |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| every instance of behavior occurs at a certain point in time with respect to other events; often measured in latency and IRT, when in time a behavior occured can be measured. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The physical form or shape of a behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
definition of target behavior. objective, clear, complete.
objective: only observable characteristics of the behavior. clear: unambiguous so that am observer could paraphrase it clearly. complete: discriminates between what is and what isn't an instance of the target behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| time in which to begin and end recording the target behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a measure of temporal locust. the elapsed time from the onset of a stimulus to the initiation of the response. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| special form of event recording. a measure of the number of responses or practice opportunities needed for a person to achieve a preestablished level of accuracy or proficiency |
