EDF 6226 Guided Notes SOLUTIONS

EDF 6226 Guided Notes SOLUTIONS Four major methods for obtaining assessment information are interviews, checklist, tests, and_______________ - ANSWER Direct observation __________________the effects of an assessment procedure on the behavior being assess, is most likely when the person being observed is aware of the observer's presence and purpose - ANSWER Reactivity A____________designates response class solely in terms of the effect on the environment - ANSWER Function based definition A definition based on what the response looks like is a_________________based definition - ANSWER Topography A target behavior is the_________class selected for intervention - ANSWER Response The behavior to be______________is the target behavior - ANSWER Changed Test and direct observation are examples of_____________assessment - ANSWER Direct Interviews are an example of____________assessment - ANSWER Indirect Anecdotal observation is when the observer records a descriptive,___________sequenced account of all behaviors of interest - ANSWER Temporally __________________has been achieved when an organism's repertoire has been changed to maximize reinforcers and minimize punishers - ANSWER Habilitation _____________are based on the Cartesian plane, a two dimensional area formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines and uses data points - ANSWER Line graphs A line graph should have a scale of_________between the y-axis and the x-axis - ANSWER 2:03 Each data point on a_______________represents the total number of responses emitted by the subject since measurement began - ANSWER Cumulative record The Standard Celeration Chart is a multiply/divide graph that enables the standardized charting of celeration, a linear measure of_____________change over time, a factor by which frequency multiplies and divides per unit of time - ANSWER Frequency A______________shows the relative distribution of individual measure in a data set with respect to the variables depicted by the x and y axis - ANSWER Scatterplot An essential structure to the line graph is that the___________axis is clearly labeled with a quantitative measure and the horizontal axis is labeled with a time unit - ANSWER Vertical An essential structure to the line graph is that the vertical axis is clearly labeled with a quantitative measure and the_______________axis is labeled with a time unit - ANSWER Horizontal According to Johnston and Pennypacker (2009), graphs have one fundamental purpose: to affect the________________behavior of the graph reader - ANSWER Interpretive Even though it is still prevalent in the field, you should refrain from using "sessions" as a label on the horizontal axis and instead be sure that you use a unit of_______ - ANSWER Time The bar graph shows most of the line graph's features except it does not have distinct_________points representing successive response measures through time - ANSWER Data Condition change lines should be placed to the__________of the data point representing the last measure prior to the change in conditions - ANSWER Right An___________must be accomplished to determine if and how a given behavior functions in relation to specific changes in the environment - ANSWER Experimental analysis Uncontrolled variables known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable are called_______________ - ANSWER Confounding variables ________________is when changes in the dependent variable are related to manipulations of the independent variable - ANSWER Experimental control Behavior variability is__________to the organism - ANSWER Extrinsic __________________can be defined as a schedule controlled behavior that is stable and does not change over time - ANSWER Steady state performance While experimenting with peas, Mendel demonstrated how to____________critical variables in science - ANSWER Control Semmelweiss implemented_____________as an intervention to frequent mother deaths in birth - ANSWER Hand washing ______________is the belief that the universe is a lawful and orderly place - ANSWER Determinism ____________describes variability in data - ANSWER Bounce Four types of baseline data patterns are_______________ - ANSWER Stable Ascending Descending Variable 6 attitudes of science - ANSWER Determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophical doubt According to Hanley there are three main types of assessment_____________,_
