EDF 6225 Exam #2 Questions and Correct
Answers/ Latest Update / Already Graded
Functional Relationship
Ans: the results of an experiment that describe the occurrence
of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of
one or more specified and controlled variables in the
experiment in which specific change in one event (dependent
variable) can be produced by manipulating another event (the
independent variable) and that the change in the dependent
variable was unlikely the result of other factors (confounding
variable).
Functional Relationship
Ans: It shows specific manipulations of one event (IV) produce
a change in other events (DV) and that change in the DV was
unlikely the result of extraneous factors (confounding
variables)- this finding is the....
Independent Variable (IV)
Ans: The variable that is systematically manipulated by the
researcher in an experiment to see whether changes in the
independent variable produce reliable changes in the
dependent variable. In applied behavior analysis, it is usually an

environment event or condition antecedent or consequent to
the dependent variable. (sometimes called the intervention or
treatment variable)
Dependent Variable (DV)
Ans: The measured behavior in an experiment to determine if it
changes as a result of manipulations of the independent
variable; in applied behavior analysis, it represents some
measure of a socially significant behavior. (Target behavior)
antecedent
Ans: is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes that
exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest.
Behavior
Ans: An organism's interaction with the environment.
Consequence
Ans: is anything immediately following a behavior in which we
are interested.
Stimulus Class

, Page |3
Ans: A group of stimuli that are similar along one or more
dimensions (for example, they look or sound similar, they have
a common effect on behavior, or they occur at similar times
relative to the response).
Stimulus Class
Ans: You show a student a banana, kiwi, strawberry and plum.
You ask the student, "What are these?" The student says,
"Fruit", even though they are all different fruits.
Response Class
Ans: is a group of responses that produce the same effect on
the environment. (in other words, several behaviors that have
the same function.)
Response Class
Ans: A patient engages in head banging, screaming, and
hitting staff which all produce the same effect on the
environment; the patient can escape their non-preferred
therapies.
