QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTIONS
Applied - Answer-applied interventions deal with problems of demonstrated social
importance
Behavioral - Answer-applied interventions deal with measurable behavior (or reports if
they can be validated)
analytic - Answer-applied interventions require and objective demonstration that the
procedures caused the effect
technological - Answer-applied interventions are described well enough that they can be
implemented by anyone with training and resources
conceptual systems - Answer-applied interventions arise from a specific and identifiable
theoretical base rather than being a set of packages or tricks
effective - Answer-applied interventions produce strong, socially important effects
generality - Answer-applied interventions are designed from the outset to operate in
new environments and continue after the formal treatments have ended
cumulative records - Answer-display a "running total" of behaviors that have occurred
over a certain time period
NEVER decrease because each point on the graph is always one more than the
previous
higher the slope, greater the momentary rate of behavior
a flat line = no behavior is occurring
two basic rules about recording and charting data - Answer-always attempt to record
data as soon as possible, if not as it occurs
charting (graphing) should be done either the same day, or at least once a week
3 general methods for identifying function - Answer-indirect assessments
descriptive assessments
functional analyses
indirect assessment - Answer-asking questions, interviews, checklists, etc.
direct assessments - Answer-observational assessments that do NOT involve making
changes to the environment (typically)
