i. Instructions
Fill in your answers in this document
1. Go to this video, and queue it to 2:00 – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BZM2Vre5oc . Starting at minute 2:00, watch for 90 seconds (until 3:30).
a. Total count of jumps while jumping rope during this time is:
b. Rate of jumping while jumping rope during this time is:
c. Episodic duration for jumping while jumping rope during this time is: (You will have two figures.)
d. Total duration for jumping while jumping rope during this time is:
e. Interresponse time between episodes of jumping rope is:
2. From that same video, your instructor came up with the following figures. Using your figures, calculate interobserver agreement for each:
a. Instructor’s count of jumps = 87 jumps; IOA =
b. Instructor’s rate = (87 jumps / 90 seconds) = 0.97 jumps / second. IOA =
c. Instructor’s episodic durations = 19 sec (first episode) and 20 sec (second episode). IOA figures (2 of them) are:
d. Instructor’s total duration = 39 sec. IOA =
e. Instructor’s IRT = 42 sec. IOA =
3. Go to this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAm9qvoZC7I .
a. The host (Ann), asks “are you more interesting than you look?” The contestant, Howard, says, “It’s all in the mind – eye of the beholder, Ann.” What is Howard’s latency to responding to Ann’s question?
b. Your instructor clocked a latency of 4 seconds. What is the IOA?
c. Howard says “I’m a business developer for a large bank in the northeast.” Ann replies “Okay. Tell me if there’s anything interesting about your job.” What is Ann’s latency to responding to Howard’s question?
d. Your instructor clocked a latency of 6 seconds. What is the IOA?
4. Calling one’s Mom is orienting toward one’s mother, and saying “Mom,” Ma,” Mommy,” “Mama,”, or one’s mother’s name. Go to this video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arbgB6REBmU .
a. What is the count of times Stewie called his mother?
b. What is the rate at which Stewie called his mother?
c. Watch this scene four more times, getting the count of times Stewie called his mother each time.
5. The cumulative count after the second time this scene played out is:
6. The cumulative count after the third time this scene played out is:
7. The cumulative count after the fourth time this scene played out is:
8. The cumulative count after the fifth time this scene played out is:
a. Episode duration for Stewie’s calling his mother (watching the scene one time) is:
b. Using the first time Stewie called his mother as the occasion for the mother to respond, what was the latency to the mother’s response to Stewie’s calling her?
9. Your instructor got the following figures. Calculate IOA:
a. Instructor’s count = 29 calls to Mom. IOA =
b. Instructor’s rate for calling Mom = (29 calls to Mom / 32 seconds) = 0.91 calls / second
c. Instructor’s cumulative count after the second viewing = 58 calls. IOA =
d. Instructor’s cumulative count after third viewing = 87 calls. IOA =
e. Instructor’s cumulative count after fourth viewing = 116 calls. IOA =
f. Instructor’s cumulative count after fifth viewing = 145 calls. IOA =
g. Instructor’s episode duration = 29 seconds. IOA =
h. Instructor’s latency for Mom to respond = 29 seconds. IOA =
ii. Overview
