1. any experiment worth its salt (i.e., worthy of investi- questions
gation) will raise more ___________ than it answers"
(Sidman, 1960, p. 8)
2. Marcus completes a functional analysis and it indicat- True
ed that attention is the function for Timmy's tantrum.
Is it possible he demonstrated a functional relation?
3. The Law of Effect was discovered by Thorndike in learning of novel
1898 and demonstrated behavior.
4. Megan has a rash. The doctor prescribes a cream to True
apply each hour to reduce itching. Every hour Megan
applies the cream, the itch is reduced. Every hour
Megan forgets to apply the cream, the rash is very
itchy. We can discern a functional relation based on
these events.
5. Principles of operant conditioning were first used with True
humans with mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia,
as opposed to developmental disabilities.
6. Single case design is different than a case history be- correlation & Ex-
cause a case history derives its conclusions based on perimental control
_____________; whereas, single case design derives
its conclusions by ___________________________
7. Jerry, a BCBA, recently read that social stories have Philophsical Doubt
no effect in skill acquisition. He discounts this infor-
mation because he has had a good experience using
them in his clinic. What attitude of science is he vio-
lating?
8. We can assume functional relation demonstrate cau- Determinism
sation because of what attitude of science?
9. involves a clear experimental question, a plan for mea- experimentation
suring and
recording the variables, analysis of the results, and
critical peer review

10. ABC data recording can demonstrate __________ . A correltation & pos-
functional analysis can sible causation
demonstrate _________
11. Which section of the methods would you find the validity
following: Description of how the research accounted
for the extent in which changes in the intervention
caused a change in the measured behavior and not
other variable.
12. Which section of the methods would you find the reliability
following: IOA was 80% and was taken for 33% of the
sessions.
13. Which section of the methods would you find the design
following: This study utilized
multiple baseline across participants.
14. Which type of experimental question is the follow- demonstration
ing: Will a token economy increase responding in the
classroom?
15. Which type if experimental question is the following: comparison
Will functional communication training alone or func-
tional communication training with a multiple sched-
ule of reinforcement decrease escape behavior?
16. Which type of experimental question is the following: Parametric
What effect will verbal praise have on responding
behavior when faded from 1 minute to 5 minutes to 10
minutes?
17. What recording system would you use to document stopwatch
duration?
18. What recording system would you use to document if Permanent prod-
the dishwasher was emptied? uct
