One of the attendees indicated that they conducted interviews with previous teachers and they all said the boy exhibited the target behavior when he wanted was attention. The attendee suggested the group move forward with goals related to attention seeking. How should Anjali respond? - ANSWER-- Suggest direct observation first - Suggest baseline data collection - Suggest a functional behavior assessment All of the above are appropriate. Michelle wants to create a visual display that will compare the same behavior of two or more participants. Her best option would be: - ANSWER-line graph Dominique wants to create a visual display that will display discrete sets of data that are not related to one another. Her best option would be: - ANSWER-bar graph Miguel wants to create a standardized visual display that will demonstrate frequency over time. His best option would be: - ANSWER-standard celeration chart Jerome wants to create a visual display to help determine what time of day his client exhibits higher frequencies of the target behavior. His best option would be: - ANSWER-scatterplot Sam wants to create a visual display that will capture cumulative responses. Her best option would be: - ANSWER-cumulative recorder a subject's specific behavior change is called the: - ANSWER-target behavior in which method of obtaining assessment information would you gather information from parents, classmates, and/or co-workers - ANSWER-- interviewing significant others - indirect observation the relevance of behavior rule refers to selecting target behaviors which are - ANSWER-functional what is the most commonly used graphic format for the display of data in applied behavior analysis - ANSWER-line graph what is created by connecting successive data points within a given phase or condition with a straight line - ANSWER-data path on most graphs, the proportion of the vertical axis to the horizontal axis should be approximately - ANSWER-2:3 is it acceptable to label the x-axis with session numbers - ANSWER-false the ______ is a graph based on two-dimensional area formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines - ANSWER-line graph an essential structure of the line graph requires the vertical axis (y-axis) to be labeled with a ______ and horizontal axis (x-axis) to be labeled with a ________ - ANSWER-quantitative measure; time unit Sally has consumed two cups of coffee everyday for five years - ANSWER-this is an example of steady responding experimental control is where the change in the _____ are related to manipulations of the _____ - ANSWER-dependent variable; independent variable an essential structure of the line graph requires the ______ to be labeled with a quantitative measure and the ____ - ANSWER-vertical axis; x-axis am essential structure of the line graph requires the ____ to be labeled with a quantitative measure and the ____ to be labeled with a time unit - ANSWER-y-axis ; x-axis in order to produce a display that is not distorted, it is recommended that the vertical axis length has a ____ ratio to the horizontal axis - ANSWER-2:3 which is an inappropriate label for the horizontal axis? - ANSWER-sessions ______ is a linear measure of frequency change across - ANSWER-celeration
