functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F - Answer- false
a parametric analysis evaluates what? - Answer- sustainability of the IV
a functional relation is the relationship between what? - Answer- a treatment and
behavior
which effect is least likely to be a threat to validity in ABA? ** - Answer- diffusion
which measure of behavior provides most accurate counts? - Answer- permanent
product
what is the number 1 contributor to artifacts? - Answer- human error
which discontinuous measure is related to momentary time sampling, but used with
groups? - Answer- PLACHECK
if a BCBA needs to target high rates of physical stereotypy which measure would likely
be best? - Answer- partial interval recording
if a BCBA is interested in increasing time spent writing an essay what data collection
method would be best? - Answer- duration
T/F the dead person's test states that anything unobservable is NOT behavior? -
Answer- false
which component of a research paper meets the "technological" dimensions of ABA? -
Answer- methods
T/F the results section includes tables and figures to provide concise analysis of data? -
Answer- true
a research paper should provide what type of questions? - Answer- open ended
questions
when citing two authors in a manuscript you should follow which format - Answer- Last
& Last, year
, e.g. Williams & Williams, 2017
T/F Disseminating ABA through conferences, or manuscripts is the responsibility of all
BCBAs and students of ABA? - Answer- true
stretching the horizontal axis on a line graph make the data appear in which manner? -
Answer- slow increasing trend
which of the following is not a level of scientific understanding? - Answer- data
which attitude of science suggests we should test our hypothesis? - Answer-
experimentation
which measure of behavior is related to temporal extent? - Answer- duration
temporal locus is related to - Answer- latency and IRT
why do we stagger the intervention in a multiple baseline? - Answer- to demonstrate
latency to change and determine if there is a functional relation
ABAB design - Answer- AKA reversal design or withdrawal design. "A" represents a
return to baseline and can demonstrate a functional relation. the behavior should
change when treatment is removed back to baseline. little likelihood than an outside
factor created the change. verifies and replicates findings
alternating treatments design - Answer-
changing criterion design - Answer-
multiple probe design - Answer-
multiple baseline design - Answer- variation of the AB design, can be conducted across
participants, behaviors, or settings. treatment is constant regardless
generality - Answer- a behavioral change may be said to have generality if it proves
durable over time, if it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, and/or if it
spreads to a wide variety of related behaviors
effective - Answer- interventions are effective when they improve a behavior in a
practical matter. If the application of behavioral techniques does not produce large
enough effects for practical value, then the application has failed
maturation - Answer- physical changes
testing effects - Answer- change in behavior due to repeated exposure of the
experimental arrangement
