630 Midterm Exam Review Questions And Answers Guaranteed Pass

Threats to internal validity include - correct answers Testing, maturation, procedural infidelity Events that occur during the experiment but that are not related to planned procedural changes that may influence the outcomes. - correct answers History Changes in behavior due to the passage of time. - correct answers Maturation Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition, which influences responding. - correct answers Testing Threats related to the measurement system, and are of concern because of repeated measurement by human observers who may make errors. - correct answers Instrumentation Inconsistent implementation of the experimental condition. - correct answers Procedural Infidelity The loss of participants during a study, which limits the generality of findings. - correct answers Attrition Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced by more than one planned intervention during the course of a study. - correct answers Multiple treatment integrity A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and predictable pattern in the data series over time. - correct answers Cyclical Variability Carryover effects: - correct answers Both A and B are correct. The hypothesis that assumes that sample observations are influenced by some non-random cause is: - correct answers The alternative hypothesis Amanda is an RBT at an ABA clinic. She is working with her client, Jerrell, to decrease aggressive behaviors (i.e., biting others). She has collected data for the frequency of Jerrell's bites for three weeks. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following data set (round up to the nearest whole number): Week 1: 12, 11, 10, 22, 22 Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 21, 17 Week 3: 16, 7, 9, 3, 0 - correct answers Mean =12, Median = 11, Mode = 7, 22 Dr. Jones wanted to know if the use of the Good Behavior Game decreased rates of disruptive behaviors in an elementary school. Dr. Jones collected data throughout the duration of the school year across two elementary schools. In school A, all k-6 classrooms used the Good Behavior Game. In School B, no classrooms used the Good Behavior Game. At the end of the school year, Dr. Jones shouted, "Eureka! The Good Behavior Game works," when in fact it had no impact on student disruptive behavior. This is an example of: - correct answers A Type 2 Error The primary purpose of the method section is to: - correct answers Both A and B are correct. (correct) Which of the following is true about single-case research design? - correct answers The participant serves as his or her own control. Which of the following is a limitation of using statistical significance to differentiate between meaningful and trivial change? - correct answers ***All of the above are true. Which of the following is a limitation of group design? - correct answers ***All of the above are potential limitations of group design. Dr. Lestremau is employed in a large urban school district with 10 elementary schools. She wants to evaluate the effects and feasibility of peer-mediated, school-based, discrete trial training for teaching multiplication skills to six students with autism spectrum disorder. She will collect on-going and frequent measurement of students' fluency with multiplication facts. Dr. Lestremau is using: - correct answers Single case research design methodology Kacyn is a BCBA at an ABA Center. She is running a small social skills group with 6 children who have autism spectrum disorder. Kacyn is using the "Tough Kids Social Skills Curriculum." The goal of the social skills sessions is to build basic social entry skills (e.g., making eye contact, greetings, responding to name). Prior to the start of the group, Kacyn collected data for each of the participants. Specifically, she asked the therapists to complete the BASC-2 (a rating scale that measures changes in behavior and emotional status) and also collected the frequency of spontaneous greetings during a 30-minute observation period. She continued to collect data for spontaneous greetings during and after implementation of the social skills group. What is the dependent variable? - correct answers The frequency of spontaneous greetings According to Carr and Briggs (2010) practitioners of applied behavior analysis should base their professional activities on the research literature. One barrier is the cost of journal subscriptions. A solution suggested by Carr and Briggs (2010) includes: - correct answers Reading articles in journals, such as, the Journal of Speech- Language Pathology and Applied Behavior Analysis. Which of the following is the correct format for a parenthetical citation with 4 authors for the first narrative citation in text (APA 7th edition) - correct answers (Basilone et al, 2017) Which type of recording is a discontinuous measurement procedure? - correct answers Whole interval recording/ partial interval recording What is a primary reason for replicating the findings of a study: - correct answers To assess the reliability of the findings Which of the following is an advantage of using percentage data over numbers? - correct answers More familiar to people than other measures and facilitates communication of performance. Which of the following is true about whole interval data recording? - correct answers It has a tendency to under-estimate the occurrence of behavior. Which of the following is true about partial interval data recording? - correct answers It has the tendency to over-estimate the occurrence of the behavior. External validity is measured by: - correct answers The extent to which the results from the study are applicable outside the contexts of the study Interval validity of a study depends on - correct answers The attempts by the researcher to ensure plausible reasons for behavior change, other than planned experimental changes are controlled for
