Assessment • Event sampling • Count # of times behavior occurs • Note # of opportunities • Table 9.5
Assessment • Time Sampling • Tracks whether or not behavior occurs during specific time period
Momentary TimeSampling • Useful for predictable behaviors • Frequent or continuous behaviors • At specific intervals record presence or absence of behavior • Table 9.6
Partial interval recording • Record each time behavior occurs for 10 minutes • Record several times during the day • Use for unpredictable behaviors Table 9.7
Assessment • Event and time sampling require designation of criteria and conditions
Assessment • Category sampling • Used for variations in skill or behavior • Should not see two behaviors occurring simultaneously • Table 9.8
Assessment • When to use sampling • Establish a base line • Measure progress • Determine mastery
Assessment • Which type of sampling to use? • The frequency of the skill • The context of the skill • Match the strategy to the skill being assessed
Assessment • Check for generalization across settings, situations and with different people • Data collection by family • Involvement of child
