EDF 6437 ACTUAL FINALS QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔which attitude of science suggests we should test our hypothesis? -
✔✔experimentation
✔✔which measure of behavior is related to temporal extent? - ✔✔duration
✔✔temporal locus is related to - ✔✔latency and IRT
✔✔why do we stagger the intervention in a multiple baseline? - ✔✔to demonstrate
latency to change and determine if there is a functional relation
✔✔ABAB design - ✔✔AKA reversal design or withdrawal design. "A" represents a
return to baseline and can demonstrate a functional relation. the behavior should
change when treatment is removed back to baseline. little likelihood than an outside
factor created the change. verifies and replicates findings
✔✔alternating treatments design - ✔✔
✔✔changing criterion design - ✔✔
✔✔multiple probe design - ✔✔
✔✔multiple baseline design - ✔✔variation of the AB design, can be conducted across
participants, behaviors, or settings. treatment is constant regardless
✔✔generality - ✔✔a behavioral change may be said to have generality if it proves
durable over time, if it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, and/or if it
spreads to a wide variety of related behaviors
, ✔✔effective - ✔✔interventions are effective when they improve a behavior in a practical
matter. If the application of behavioral techniques does not produce large enough
effects for practical value, then the application has failed
✔✔maturation - ✔✔physical changes
✔✔testing effects - ✔✔change in behavior due to repeated exposure of the
experimental arrangement
✔✔technological - ✔✔Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others
may implement the procedures accurately.
✔✔applied - ✔✔A behavior change is applied when it enhances and improves the
everyday life of a learner, and those who are closest to a learner (e.g., parents, siblings,
peers), by improving a socially significant behavior
✔✔conceptually systematic - ✔✔Interventions are consistent with the principles
demonstrated in the literature and the research
✔✔analytic - ✔✔Using data to make informed decisions. The practitioner is able to
show that whenever he/she applies a certain variable, the behavior is produced, and
whenever he/she removes this variable, the behavior is lost
✔✔behavioral - ✔✔the behavior chosen must also be observable and measurable
✔✔how do you establish experimental control? - ✔✔
✔✔hypothetical constructs and circular reasoning - ✔✔
✔✔thorndike - ✔✔
✔✔how to demonstrate a functional relation in a multiple baseline design - ✔✔the
behavior change occurs when the IV is introduced. the chances of an extraneous
variable influencing the DV repeatedly is highly unlikely. if baseline changes an
extraneous variable has influenced results
✔✔determinents to group design - ✔✔
✔✔baseline logic - ✔✔experimental reasoning for SCD. if we do nothing the DV will
continue in the same pattern
✔✔line graph - ✔✔all measures can appear
✔✔bar graph - ✔✔comparisons
