EDF 6226 MODULES 1-6 COMPLETE
DETAILED CASE STUDY
g Sally is observing a new client, Michael. Every time she comes in the room, he puts his head down. She
is possible experiencing an effect known as: - reactivity
Margo distributed several questionnaires to her new client's teachers, asking them about particular
behaviors. What assessment method is she using? - indirect assessment

When considering a target behavior, Fernando is careful to select one that will expose the individual to
new environments, including the reinforcers and punishers that go along with it. What is the best name
for this? - behavior cusp
Sam was excited to show his supervisor an idea for a behavior plan. His target behavior was "lose
weight". What response should the BCBA provide? - Weight loss is a direct effect of other behaviors and
not appropriate as a "target behavior"
Anjali, a BCBA, was in an IEP meeting for a new student in the school. One of the attendees indicated
that they conducted interviews with previous teachers and they all said the boy exhibited the target
behavior when he wanted was attention. The attendee suggested the group move forward with goals
related to attention seeking. How should Anjali respond? - Suggest direct observation first
Suggest baseline data collection
Suggest a functional behavior assessment
All of the above are appropriate.
, Michelle wants to create a visual display that will compare the same behavior of two or more
participants. Her best option would be: - line graph
Dominique wants to create a visual display that will display discrete sets of data that are not related to
one another. Her best option would be: - bar graph
Miguel wants to create a standardized visual display that will demonstrate frequency over time. His best
option would be: - standard celeration chart
Emilia was working with a family that was having a difficult time understanding Applied Behavior
Analysis. They indicated that their daughter's maladaptive behaviors came "out of nowhere" and that
there was "no logic" behind them. Emilia had to explain to them that the science of ABA relies on the
assumption that the world is a lawful place and that behaviors are not random. Emilia is describing: -
philosophical doubt
conceptually systematic
determinism- correct answer
empiricism
Zoe examined her assessment data. The data were undifferentiated, despite her confidence that the
function of behavior was to receive tangible (i.e., chocolate). Upon investigation, she discovered her
learner had free access to chocolate the hour before each of her assessment periods. This unplanned for
variable is known as: - duplicate variable
extraneous variable- correct answer
concurring variable
independent variable
