Behavior Observation

  

In order to practice conducting different types of data collection, you will be asked to conduct two types of behavioral data collection below (Video 1 and Video 2). You will complete one observation method for the first link/video and one observation method for the second link/video. Read the information within each document, then click the video link and record the observation data.

Video 1: Frequency Recording

1. Read this informational      resource about Frequency Recording from the IRIS Center: https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdf_activities/independent/IA_Frequency_and_Interval_Recording.pdf 
2. Read the behavior description      below for Student 1 (included below)
3. Click this link to watch the      video: https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/mcontent/frequency-and-interval/ 
4. Record the frequency data for      this behavior as it occurs in the video (you can use the Frequency      Recording Sheet included at the video link if you want to). Then calculate the rate that the      behavior occurred during this observation (# occurrences divided by the      length of time

  

Video 2: Duration Recording

1. Read this informational      resource about Duration Recording from the IRIS Center: https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/wp-content/uploads/pdf_activities/independent/IA_Duration_and_Latency_Recording.pdf 
2. Read the behavior description      below for Student 2 (included below)
3. Click this link to watch the      video: https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/mcontent/duration-and-latency/ 
4. Record the duration data for this      behavior as it occurs in the video (you can use the Duration Recording      Sheet provided at the video link if you would like to). Then calculate the rate that the      behavior occurred during this observation (# occurrences divided by the      length of time)
