Question 1: Rate is one of the most widely used measures in behavior analysis. Give two examples of situations where rate is an appropriate measure. Provide two examples of situations where rate is an inappropriate measure of behavior.
QUESTION 2: Describe situation/behavior that you would want to use temporal extent as your dimension and duration as your measure?
QUESTION 3: Describe situation/behavior that you would want to use temporal locus as your dimension and latency as your measure?
QUESTION 4: Define and describe example of behavior using topography and magnitude as your dimensions.
QUESTION 5: Describe situation/behavior that you would want to use temporal locus as your dimension and interresponse time as your measure?
Question 6 is a discussion question, that will be followed up by another classmates discussion question
for a one-paragraph comment. which I will upload at a later time.
**** Question 6: Comment on why you think it is important to understand the dimension(s) of behavior prior to measuring it? Identify an example where you or someone else may have mismatched a measurement procedure with the dimension of the behavior. Keep in mind that a target behavior can be measured differently based on the situation, so make sure you highlight your rationale.
