The extent to which the independent variable is implemented as planned is called: - Answer
Treatment integrity and Procedural fidelity
Which of the following is not a measure of the social validity of an applied behavior analysis? -
Answer The magnitude of behavior change.
The most frequently used method of demonstrating generality in the applied behavior analysis
research literature is: - Answer systematic replication
In order to evaluate the internal validity of applied behavior analysis research, all of the
following should be considered, except: - Answer conceptual sense
Which of the following is not a consideration when assessing social validity? - Answer
generality of findings
Unplanned environmental variations that may impact experimenter demonstration of
experimental control are called ___________________. - Answer confounding variables
This involves the repetition of experiments to determine the reliability of findings. - Answer
replication
The highest level of scientific understanding is prediction or the ability to correlate between
events. - Answer False
A ________ is only achieved through control and involves a specific change in one event
(dependent variable) that can reliably be produced by specific manipulations of another event
(independent variable), and the change in the dependent variable is unlikely to be the result of
other extraneous factors (confounding variables). - Answer functional relation
The value on the vertical axis scale around which a set of behavior measures converge is called
__________. - Answer level
An experiment has a high degree of __________ when it shows convincingly that changes in
behavior are a function of the independent variable and not the result of unknown variables. -
