Questions With Correct Answers.
Which is a tactic for managing variability? - answer✔Producing variability in responding by
manipulating independent variables.
Variation in features of responding within a single response class as well as variations in the
summary measures of that class is referred to as: - answer✔Behavioral variability.
An experiment that compares two different groups of subjects, one of which experiences the
independent variable and the other of which does not experience the independent variable is a
______ design: - answer✔Between-groups.
What are the methodological consequences of assuming that behavioral variability is extrinsic? -
answer✔It requires the experimenter to focus throughout the study on specific features of the
relations between behavior of the individual and the environment.
What is the problem for the study of behavior with using data from groups of subjects who are
exposed to either the control or experimental condition alone? - answer✔It leads to data that
mixes behavioral variability with intersubject variability.

The phrase ______ refers to how researchers arrange comparisons between control and
experimental conditions so as to permit inferences about any effects independent variables may
have on responding: - answer✔Experimental design.
The only source of variability whose impact is intentional is that of the: - answer✔Independent
variable's.
What are three kinds of biological influences on variability in behavior? - answer✔Cyclic
physiological processes, developmental processes, and environmental effects on body functions.
A(n) ______ is an effect of a participant's behavior resulting from exposure to a prior condition:
- answer✔Sequence effect.
Kasia has trouble sitting still in class, so her teacher implements a program in which she praises
Kasia for staying in her seat. Kasia's sitting behavior increases, and the teacher concludes that
her praise was responsible for the change. The teacher does not realize that Kasia has started
taking medication that causes fatigue. In this example, the medication is serving as: -
answer✔An extraneous variable.
If the data show that responding is unstable under either the baseline condition or the treatment
condition, the investigator should assume that these variations must be due to _______. -
answer✔Extraneous variables.
