SPCE 630 CORRECT ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS SURE A+
✔✔What is a primary reason for replicating the findings of a study: - ✔✔To assess the
generality of the study
✔✔Which of the following is an advantage of using percentage data over numbers? -
✔✔More familiar to people other than measures and facilitates communication of
performance
✔✔Which of the following is true about partial interval data recording? - ✔✔It has a
tendency to over-estimate the occurrence of behavior
✔✔Based on the information provided above, this article is likely an example of which of
the following types of articles: - ✔✔A review article detailing what is known about
medications for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder adn the other developmental
disabilities
✔✔Internal validity of a study depends on: - ✔✔The attempts by the researcher to
ensure plausible reasons for behavior change, other than planned experimental
changes, are controlled for
✔✔Experimental designs: - ✔✔Require systematic manipulation of an independent
variable and careful measurement of the dependent variables.
✔✔The primary goal of single case research design is: - ✔✔To determine whether a
causal or functional relationship exists between a research manipulated independent
variable and a meaningful change int he dependent variable
✔✔Informed consent includes - ✔✔A statement that the participant can withdraw from
the research at any time without penalty
, ✔✔Dr. Tingstrom is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of tootling for increasing
positive peer reporting in an elementary classroom. He collects data in Mrs. Dobbs's
fourth grade classroom. He hopes to demonstrate the same effects of tootling with the
same classroom more than once in the same study. Specifically, he hopes that
behaviors are at similar levels when the intervention is in place compared to when it is
withdrawn. This is an example of: - ✔✔Direct intra-subject replication
✔✔Which of the following statements are true regarding treatment integrity? -
✔✔Treatment integrity is synonymous with treatment fidelity and inter-observer
agreement. The purpose is to assess wether two or more observers agree about the
occurrence or non-occurrence of a behaivor.
✔✔A researcher plans to observe children with and without autism spectrum disorder
(ASD) during recess. She plans to observe the degree to which children without ASD
initiate interactions with students who have ASD. She will describe her data as a
collection of facts. Which level of scientific understanding is the researcher using? -

✔✔A BCBA is interested in evaluating the use of behavior skills training to increase
therapist's use of a fixed interval schedule of reinforcement. Prior to conducting her
study, she conducts a literature review to identify existing research. She is struggling to
find articles on this topic. Which of the following are strategies that she could use to help

databases.
