Questions (Frequently Most
Tested) with Verified Answers
Correlation - Answer: is when there is a predicted relationship between two variables observed.
correlation - Answer: Maggie goes to the doctor for her fever. She is given antibiotics. Later that
evening, her fever goes down. This has been her experience with antibiotics when she is sick. Based on
the manner in which this was investigated, we would say this is an example of __________.
Functional Relation - Answer: _____________ is when you can say with confidence that event A likely
cause event B to occur.
analytic - Answer: Our ability to demonstrate causation over mere correlation is defined by what
charactristic of Applied Behavior Analysis (Baer et al. 1968).
Introduction - Answer: Which section of a peer reviewed paper would you find the following; previous
knowledge in the field
The experimenters willingness to follow the data - Answer: According to Skinner, many experimentars
have answered profound questions they did not ask, due to what practice?
False - Answer: A BCBA does a descriptive assessment and determined that Timmy is tantruming for
attention. Is it true or false that she demonstrated a functional relation.
False - Answer: If you summarize literature in your own words, you do not have to cite it.
Experimentation - Answer: _____________ involves clear experimental question, a plan for measuring
and recording the variables, analysis of the results, and the critical peer review.
technological - Answer: What dimension of ABA is most important for accurate replications?
, Correlation; functional relation - Answer: ABC data recording can demonstrate _______. A fuctional
analysis can deonstrate possible ________.
Baseline - Answer: ___________ serves as the companion to evaluate the effects of an intervention.
Baseline Logic - Answer: _________ suggests that if no intervention occurs, the observed behavior will
continue on a similar level or trend.
True - Answer: Baseline only needs to be long enough to determine a stable state of responding.
level - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the average response?
All of these: variability, level, trend - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis requires more than two
data points?
Variability - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the difference between the data points
within a phase?
trend - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the difference in direction of the data between
phases?
Latency to Change - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis refers to the change in the last data point of
baseline to the data point in intervention?
Variability - Answer: Which aspect of visual analysis will demonstrate whether there is a steady-state of
responding?
Withdrawal/Reversal - Answer: __________ is the strongest design in single case design.
Functional Relation - Answer: A ________ can be determined when the treatment phase has a different
level, trend, and latency to change than the baseline.
