You work with a client four times a week for two hours each session. During your session, you take frequency data on your client’s screaming behavior. Last week, your client screamed 4 times during session 1, 8 times during session 2, 6 times during session 3, and 10 times during session 4. What was the rate of screaming per hour for session 3?
6 times per hour
3 times per hour
2 times per hour
4 times per hour
Last week, you decided to start a diet. You aren’t allowed to eat hot and fresh Krispy Kreme donuts. Saturday morning you wake up and drive to Krispy Kreme. The “hot and fresh” sign is on, so you walk in and buy yourself two donuts. What is the SD for hot and fresh donuts in this scenario?
The diet
It is Saturday morning
For your first question, to find the rate of screaming per hour for session 3, you divide the total number of screams by the number of hours in the session.
Session 3 counts:
– Screams: 6
– Duration: 2 hours
Rate of screaming = Total screams / Total hours
Rate = 6 screams / 2 hours = 3 screams per hour.
So, the answer is 3 times per hour.
For the second question regarding the SD (stimulus Delta) for hot and fresh donuts, in this scenario, the relevant SD is The diet, as it represents the context or condition that indicates you are not allowed to eat those donuts, even though you are tempted.
