EDF6437 FINAL EXAM 2024 QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE ANSWERS!!

What serves as the comparison to evaluate the effects of an intervention? - ANS-Baseline Suggests that if no intervention occurs, the observed behavior will continue on a similar level or trend - ANS-Baseline Logic Baseline only needs to be long enough to determine a stable state of responding (T/F) - ANS-True Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the average response? - ANS-Level Which aspect of visual analysis requires more then two data points? - ANS-Trend, level, and variability Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the difference between the data points within a phase? - ANS-Variability Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the difference in direction of the data between phases? - ANS-Trend Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the change in the last data point of baseline to the first data point in intervention? - ANS-Latency to Change Which aspect of visual analysis will demonstrate whether there is a steady- state of responding? - ANS-Variability What is the strongest design in single case design? - ANS-Withdrawal/reversal A ______ can be determined when the treatment phase has a different level, trend, and latency to change than the baseline. - ANS-Functional relation The more times you remove the intervention, the stronger the evidence that the intervention caused behavior change (T/F) - ANS-True Starting with baseline is not a requirement in reversal design (T/F) - ANS-True What would be a reason to skip the first baseline condition - ANS-The behavior is dangerous such as SIB Which is the only appropriate behavior for a withdrawal/reversal design? - ANS-Self injurious behavior In an ABA design, the B is... - ANS-Intervention Multiple baseline can include - ANS-People, settings, and behaviors You must use the same person in multiple baseline design across settings (T/F) - ANS-True Nonconcurrent multiple baselines can only be used when which variable is being measured? - ANS-People Which design would you use for a behavior that cannot be reversed? - ANS-Multiple baseline design How does a changing criterion design demonstrate a functional relationship between the variables? - ANS-When the behavior meets the pre-selected goal Is when you reduce the criterion to an earlier phase in order to strengthen control. - ANS-Bidirectional change Which design is most often used for a functional analysis? - ANS-Multielement design Baseline is optional in an alternating treatment design (T/F) - ANS-True We should assume all interventions used in the alternating treatment design are effective in some capacity (T/F) - ANS-True Where there is a predicted relationship between two variables observed - ANS-Correlation Maggie goes to the doctor for a fever. She is given antibiotics. Later her fever goes down. Based on the manner in which this is investigated we would say this is an example of what? - ANS-Correlation Is when you can say with confidence that A likely caused B - ANS-Functional relation Our ability to demonstrate causation over correlation is defined by what characteristic of ABA? - ANS-Analytic Which section of peer reviewed paper would you find previous knowledge in the field? - ANS-Introduction According to Skinner, many experimenters have answered profound questions they did not specifically ask due to what? - ANS-The experimenter's willingness to follow the data A BCBA does a descriptive assessment and determined that Tim is tantrumming for attention. Is it true or false that she demonstrated functional relation? - ANS-False If you summarize literature in your own words, you do not have to cite it (T/F) - ANS-False Involves a clear experimental question, a plan for measuring and recording the variables, analysis of the results and critical peer review. - ANS-Experimentation What dimension of ABA is most important for accurate replications? - ANS-Technological ABC data recording can demonstrate ____ a functional analysis can demonstrate possible_________ - ANS-Correlation Functional relation Where do you find most of your citations? - ANS-Introduction Where do you find your procedures? - ANS-Methods Which section would you find research questions and purpose? - ANS-Introduction Where would you find a list of all the literature cited? - ANS-References Where would you find design used? - ANS-Methods Where do you find outcomes of study without interpretations or explanations? - ANS-Results
