SPCE 630 EXAM
SPCE 630 EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS GRADED A+
Threats to internal validity include: - correct answer History,
maturation, testing, procedural infidelity
Events that occur during the experiment but that are not
related to planned procedural changes that may
influence the outcomes. - correct answer History
Changes in behavior due to the passage of time. - correct
answer Maturation
,SPCE 630 EXAM
Occurs when participants need to respond to the same
test repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition,
which influences responding. - correct answer Testing
Threats related to the measurement system, and are of
concern because of repeated measurement by human
observers who may make errors. - correct answer
Instrumentation
Inconsistent implementation of the experimental
condition. - correct answer Procedural Infidelity
The loss of participants during a study, which limits the
generality of findings. - correct answer Attrition
Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced by
more than one planned intervention during the course of
a study. - correct answer Multiple Treatment Intreference
,SPCE 630 EXAM
A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and
predictable pattern in the data series over time. - correct
answer Cyclical Variability
Carryover effects: - correct answer NOT: Is best described as
the effect of a procedure used in one condition on
responding in an adjacent condition.
The hypothesis that assumes that sample observations
are influenced by some non-random cause is: - correct answer
The alternative hypothesis
Amanda is an RBT at an ABA clinic. She is working with
her client, Jerrell, to decrease aggressive behaviors (i.e.,
biting others). She has collected data for the frequency of
Jerrell's bites for three weeks. Calculate the mean,
median, and mode of the following data set (round to the
nearest whole number):
Week 1: 22, 31, 20, 32, 32
Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 31, 17
, SPCE 630 EXAM
Week 3: 16, 5, 9, 12, 15 - correct answer Mean = 18, Median
=16, Mode = 31, 32
Dr. Jones wanted to know if the use of the Good Behavior
Game decreased rates of disruptive behaviors in an
elementary school. Dr. Jones collected data throughout
the duration of the school year across two elementary
schools. In school A, all k-6 classrooms used the Good
Behavior Game. In School B, no classrooms used the
Good Behavior Game. At the end of the school year, Dr.
Jones shouted, "Eureka! The Good Behavior Game
works," when in fact it had no impact on student
disruptive behavior. This is an example of: - correct answer A
Type I Error
The primary purpose of the literature review is to: - correct
answer All of the above
Which of the following is true about single-case research
design? - correct answer The participant serves as his or her
own control.
