EDF 6437 FINAL EXAM 2026
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A+
GRADED | WITH EXPERT SOLUTIONS
functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F - correct
answer -false
a parametric analysis evaluates what? - correct answer -
sustainability of the IV
a functional relation is the relationship between what? - correct
answer -a treatment and behavior
which effect is least likely to be a threat to validity in ABA? ** -
correct answer -diffusion
which measure of behavior provides most accurate counts? -
correct answer -permanent product
, Page | 2
what is the number 1 contributor to artifacts? - correct answer -
human error
which discontinuous measure is related to momentary time
sampling, but used with groups? - correct answer -PLACHECK
if a BCBA needs to target high rates of physical stereotypy which
measure would likely be best? - correct answer -partial interval
recording
if a BCBA is interested in increasing time spent writing an essay
what data collection method would be best? - correct answer -
duration
T/F the dead person's test states that anything unobservable is
NOT behavior? - correct answer -false
which component of a research paper meets the "technological"
dimensions of ABA? - correct answer -methods
, Page | 3
T/F the results section includes tables and figures to provide
concise analysis of data? - correct answer -true
a research paper should provide what type of questions? - correct
answer -open ended questions
when citing two authors in a manuscript you should follow which
format - correct 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? - correct
answer -true
stretching the horizontal axis on a line graph make the data
appear in which manner? - correct answer -slow increasing trend
, Page | 4
which of the following is not a level of scientific understanding? -
correct answer -data
which attitude of science suggests we should test our hypothesis?
- correct answer -experimentation
which measure of behavior is related to temporal extent? - correct
answer -duration
temporal locus is related to - correct answer -latency and IRT
why do we stagger the intervention in a multiple baseline? -
correct answer -to demonstrate latency to change and determine
if there is a functional relation
ABAB design - correct 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
