Question:

Completing Two Recording Instruments

For this assignment, complete a Frequency Data Sheet and a Duration Data Sheet using datasets provided for you via graphs. You will use the recording forms (that is, Frequency Data Form, Duration Data Form, Interval and Time Sampling Data Form, and Behavior Frequency Record and Graph) you reviewed earlier. These forms are provided again in the Resources, along with samples of the completed forms.

Frequency Data Sheet
Locate Figure 2-2 on page 28 of your Miltenberger text. Convert or transfer the data presented in the A-B graph to your Frequency Data Sheet, as if it were the original source used to create that graph. That is, you are working backwards by recreating the sheet that would have been used to generate this graph. Be sure to indicate if an individual date is recording baseline or treatment data by typing a B or a T on each line respectively. You may alternatively choose to leave a line date row blank to show that change in phase. However, please still make a notation about the start of the treatment or condition phase on that line.

Duration Data Sheet
Locate Figure 2-3 on page 29 of your Miltenberger text. Convert or transfer the data presented in the A-B graph to your Duration Data Sheet, as if it were the original source used to create that graph. That is, you are working backwards by creating the sheet that you would have used to generate this graph. Be sure to indicate if an individual date is recording baseline or treatment data by typing a B or a T on each line respectively. You may alternatively choose to leave a line date row blank to show that change in phase. However, please still make a notation about the start of the treatment or condition phase on that line.

It is strongly recommended that you take the time to explore the Measuring Behavior Web site from HCPS Intervention Central for additional reading and resources on measuring behavior, recording forms, and graphing behavior and skills.
