A) vertical axis labeled with a quantitative measure
B) quality feature
C) tic marks pointed outwards
D) all of the above are critical features of a line graph - correct answers A. Vertical axis labeled with a
quantitative measure
When constructing a line graph, a research assistant ensures that the vertical axis length has a 2:3 ratio
to the horizontal axis. The research assistant chose to use this ratio because:
A. Prevent or minimize data obfuscation
B. Delineates the value of the axes' units
C. Properly display data variability and limit distortion
D. Demonstrate experimental control - correct answers C. Properly display data variability and limit
distortion
A researcher is evaluating the use of video modeling procedure. The researcher collects data periodically
for single sessions, and over a minimum of 3 days immediately prior to introduction of the independent
variable. Which design is the researcher likely using?
A. Multiple probe design
B. Multiple baseline across settings
, C. ABAB withdrawal design
D. Changing criterion design - correct answers A. Multiple probe design
A researcher plans to use a parametric design. Which of the following questions is best answered using a
parametric design?
A. Does IV = decreases in levels of B+ for given participants?
B. Does IV with a given component = increased levels of B+ for given participants?
C. Does one level of IV result in increase/decrease in levels of B+, when compared to another level of
that IV, for given participants?
D. Does one IV = increased level of behavior for participants, compared to different IV? - correct answers
C. Does one level of IV result in increase/decrease in levels of B+, when compared to another level of
that IV, for given participants?
