be best? - ANSWER-partial interval recording

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
technological - ANSWER-Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others
may implement the procedures accurately.
applied - ANSWER-A behavior change is applied when it enhances and improves the
everyday life of a learner, and those who are closest to a learner (e.g., parents, siblings,
peers), by improving a socially significant behavior
conceptually systematic - ANSWER-Interventions are consistent with the principles
demonstrated in the literature and the research
analytic - ANSWER-Using data to make informed decisions. The practitioner is able to
show that whenever he/she applies a certain variable, the behavior is produced, and
whenever he/she removes this variable, the behavior is lost
behavioral - ANSWER-the behavior chosen must also be observable and measurable
how do you establish experimental control? - ANSWER-
hypothetical constructs and circular reasoning - ANSWER-
thorndike - ANSWER-
how to demonstrate a functional relation in a multiple baseline design - ANSWER-the
behavior change occurs when the IV is introduced. the chances of an extraneous
variable influencing the DV repeatedly is highly unlikely. if baseline changes an
extraneous variable has influenced results
determinents to group design - ANSWER-
, baseline logic - ANSWER-experimental reasoning for SCD. if we do nothing the DV will
continue in the same pattern
line graph - ANSWER-all measures can appear
bar graph - ANSWER-comparisons
cumulative record - ANSWER-measures frequency
standard celeration chart - ANSWER-measures frequency, count, duration, or latency
scatterplot - ANSWER-occurrence in time
which attitude of science states that the universe operates in an orderly fashion? -
ANSWER-determinism
which level of understanding is considered the highest? - ANSWER-control
which threat to validity is related to practice effects? - ANSWER-testing effects
which type of research relies on large numbers of participants? - ANSWER-group design
which type of research relies on anecdotal accounts of behavior? - ANSWER-qualitative
research
which threat to validity is related to losing participants throughout the study? - ANSWER-
attrition
T/F group design demonstrates a correlation by relating variables to outcomes? -
ANSWER-true
which threat to validity includes changes to the measurement system after the
introduction of the LV? - ANSWER-instrumentation
single case design uses - ANSWER-visual analysis, small numbers of participants, and
its baseline serves as it's own control
what should a BCBA do once baseline is steady? - ANSWER-introduce treatment
T/F group design will provide a reason for the outcome of a study? - ANSWER-false
maturation refers to what effect? - ANSWER-physical changes
what are ways to minimize threats to validity? - ANSWER-measurement, stability, and
immediacy of effects
which type of research focuses on correlations? - ANSWER-group design
a component analysis does what? - ANSWER-withdraws (or adds) components of an
intervention
T/F ideally, baseline data provides a series of observations with little variability -
ANSWER-true
how would you collect data on a tantrum? - ANSWER-duration
how would you collect data on instances of aggression? - ANSWER-count
how would you collect data on completing a worksheet in class? - ANSWER-count
how would you collect data on steps taken per day? - ANSWER-count
temporal extent is related to which measure of behavior? - ANSWER-duration
partial interval recording is a type of - ANSWER-discontinuous measurement
T/F additional training of data collectors may be required to ensure that accurate data
collection is occurring - ANSWER-true
which measure of behavior accounts for both time and count? - ANSWER-frequency/rate
you should use partial interval recording with what type of behavior? - ANSWER-
behavior to decrease
