how to calculate interobserver reliability for interval data - Answer- you compare the
data collected by two people and count up the number of intervals that agree and then
divide that number by the total number of intervals and multiply by 100
ABAB reversal design - Answer- type of experimental design in which an intervention is
introduced, withdrawn, and then reinstated, and the behavior of a participant is
examined on and off the treatment
Define reinforcer - Answer- an event that increases the likelihood of a behavior being
repeated
when is a behavior functional? - Answer- when the behavior works for the dog and

what is behavior analysis? - Answer- the study of the functional relations between
behavior and environmental events
Functional Relations - Answer- the tendency of one event to vary in a regular way with
one or more other events
Functional Behaviors - Answer- behaviors that serve to allow the animal to operate
within it's environment
correlation does not always mean causation - Answer- in applied behavior, analysis and

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) - Answer- the attempt to solve behavior problems by
