626 Week 5 Discussion When utilizing continuous measurement “all instances of the response classes of interest are detected during the observation period (Cooper et. al, 2020).” This means that every single time a particular behavior occurs we are going to record it through frequency, rate, ABC data, or duration. Measurement is a very important part of creating goals, plans, or hypotheses about a particular behavior. I would use the continuous data I have taken and apply it to my interventions by implementing goals based on collected data. This will help me to hypothesize about the whys of a behavior and help me to be able to compare in the future what methods are successful. Measurement can also help us to see potential patterns in behavior therefore allowing us to make connections to the environment and identify possible triggers or events that are influencing behavior. An example of when I would use Scatter Plot Data in the future would be during situations when I am looking to make connections between certain circumstances regarding client routines and their behavior. An example would be to find a way to visually represent the time of day a problem behavior takes place. I am very interested in working in the school systems as a BCBA and this method of plotting could help me to quickly “reveal [any] elusive environmental stimuli that may be influencing the behavior… [and potentially see] when and where they are emitted (Mayer, 2019).” So, if a student was engaging in a particular behavior and I was able to record the time of day, therefore seeing when, I could narrow down possible triggers and create goals to help them through that time of day.
