SPCE 611 Exam 2 Questions and Answers Already Graded A Which of the following refers to the overall direction a data path takes? trend In a multiple baseline design graph, what do you remove from the x axis in all but the last graph? the number or dates for sessions Which of the following is an example of a discontinous measurement system? momentary time-sampling Which of the following is an example of indirect measurement? ratings obtained from a teacher or student behavior All of the following are threats to internal validity except: generalization to additional populations To control for observer drift, researchers can NOT-improve treatment fidelity The two assumptions about the nature of behavior are: (a) behavior is an individual phenomenon and (b) behavior is a dynamic, continuous phenomenon. false The behavior analytic assumption of behavioral variability is that it is extrinsic to the organism. true Parametric studies involve: multiple manipulations of the independent variable to determine the differential effects of a range of values of the independent variable The purpose of collecting data in a systematic way and graphing them using single subject research design is to: predict, verify, replicate In a changing criterion design, the introduction of the independent variable (IV) is done in a(n) stepwise fashion When treatment is introduced in the first component of a multiple baseline design, the baseline levels in the other components should _________________. stay the same If generalization is observed when the independent variable is introduced to the first baseline in the multiple baseline design, one way to show control is to change the design to ___________________. NOT: any other single subject research design Three elements of social validity are: goals; procedures; outcomes Social validity refers to the degree to which: assessment and treatment effects result in approval by relevant members of a community Treatment fidelity refers to the extent to which the therapist accurately implements the treatment External validity refers to the extent to which: how well the results can be generalized to other populations, settings, etc. In behavior analytic research, we seldom use group research designs. How do we demonstrate external validity? replicate previous methods Only when you have stable baseline data can you proceed to treatment. false IOA data should be collected only during intervention phases false Some threats to quality data include indirect measurement, an insensitive measurement scale, poorly scheduled observation periods, and inadequate observer training. true Which of the strategies listed below can be used to increase treatment fidelity? all of the above When controlling for artifactual variance, which of the following types of measurement is considered the gold standard in behavioral research? Continuous Measurement
