QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
COMPLETE SOLUTIONS/100%
PASS RATE
Threats to internal validity include: - -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. - -History
-Changes in behavior due to the passage of time. - -
Maturation
-Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test
repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition, which
influences responding. - -Testing
-Threats related to the measurement system, and are of
concern because of repeated measurement by human
observers who may make errors. - -Instrumentation
-Inconsistent implementation of the experimental condition. -
-Procedural Infidelity
-The loss of participants during a study, which limits the
generality of findings. - -Attrition
-Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced by more
than one planned intervention during the course of a study. - -
Multiple Treatment Intreference
-A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and
predictable pattern in the data series over time. - -Cyclical
Variability
-Carryover effects: - -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: - -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
Week 3: 16, 5, 9, 12, 15 - -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: - -A Type I
Error
-The primary purpose of the literature review is to: - -All of
the above
-Which of the following is true about single-case research
design? - -The participant serves as his or her own control.
-These graphs demonstrate which of the following: - -Inter-
subject replication with an A/B/A/B design
-These data show which of the following: - -A change in
variability
-Which of the following is a limitation of using statistical
significance to differentiate between meaningful and trivial
, change? - -NOT: Large enough sample sizes will always show
a significant difference between populations.
-Which of the following is a limitation of group design? - -All
of the above are potential limitations of group design.
-Dr. Lestremau is employed in a large urban school district
with 10 elementary schools. She wants to evaluate the effects
and feasibility of peer-mediated, school-based, discrete trial
training for teaching multiplication skills to six students with
autism spectrum disorder. She will collect on-going and
frequent measurement of students' fluency with multiplication
facts. Dr. Lestremau is using: - -Single case research design
methodology
-Kacyn is a BCBA at an ABA Center. She is running a small
social skills group with 6 children who have autism spectrum
disorder. Kacyn is using the "Tough Kids Social Skills
Curriculum." The goal of the social skills sessions is to build
basic social entry skills (e.g., making eye contact, greetings,
responding to name). Prior to the start of the group, Kacyn
collected data for each of the participants. Specifically, she
asked the therapists to complete the BASC-2 (a rating scale
that measures changes in behavior and emotional status) and
also collected the frequency of spontaneous greetings during
a 30-minute observation period. She continued to collect data
for spontaneous greetings during and after implementation of
the social skills group. What is the dependent variable? - -The
frequency of spontaneous greetings
-According to Carr and Briggs (2010) practitioners of applied
behavior analysis should base their professional activities on
the research literature. One barrier is the cost of journal
subscriptions. A solution suggested by Carr and Briggs (2010)
includes: - -Reading articles in journals, such as, the Journal of
Behavior Assessment and Intervention in Children, which
provide articles for free.
-Which of the following is the correct format for a
parenthetical citation with 4 authors for the first parenthetical
citation in text (APA 7th edition) - -(Dieringer et al., 2017)
