SPCE 611 Study Questions
Which of the following refers to the overall direction a data path takes? -
correct answer ✔trend
In a multiple baseline design graph, what do you remove from the x axis in all
but the last graph? - correct answer ✔the numbers or dates for sessions
Which of the following is an example of a discontinous measurement system?
- correct answer ✔momentary time-sampling
Which of the following is an example of indirect measurement? - correct
answer ✔ratings obtained from a teacher on student behavior
All of the following are threats to internal validity except: - correct answer
✔NOT: reactivity
To control for observer drift, researchers can - correct answer ✔have data
collectors review operational definitions every time
The two assumptions about the nature of behavior are: (a) behavior is an
individual phenomenon and (b) behavior is a dynamic, continuous
phenomenon. - correct answer ✔The above listed are actually the defining
features, not the assumptions. If you got this one wrong it is probably due to
misreading/reading too fast. Go back and re-read slowly (pg.161) and you will
know that the correct answer is False.
The behavior analytic assumption of behavioral variability is that it is extrinsic
to the organism. - correct answer ✔True
