Measuring Behavior Using Event Recording and Interval Recording
This week, you will continue to practice data collection procedures using videos of problem behaviors. First, review the activity from the IRIS Center at the Peabody College at Vanderbilt University. You may choose to print out the recording forms provided in the activity (pages 3 and 4) or create your own using a similar format. Be sure to review the operational definition of the target behavior provided on each form. Then, watch the (or ) and collect frequency data on the target behavior defined on the Frequency Recording Form. Finally, view the video once again, and collect partial interval data on the target behavior defined on the Partial Interval Recording Form.
Please respond to the following:
- Discuss the findings of your data collection experience.
- Discuss the frequency data collection experience. What was the total number of behaviors observed? What was the rate of the target behavior?
- Discuss the results of the partial interval data collection by reporting the percentage of intervals the student engaged in the problem behavior.
- Compare the results of the data using both types of measurement.
- Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each method of measurement.
- Provide a rationale for using either one for observation of behavior, referring to LeBlanc et al.s (2015) model for selecting measurement procedures and considering any environmental constraints that may arise.
- Discuss how to address validity and reliability in the measurement process to maximize measurement integrity.
