B. reliable, accurate and valid data
C. inter-observers
D. artifacts - Answer-B
, Preparing to collect data involves many steps. Of the following steps which would come
first? Verifying data, selecting a tracking method, defining the target behavior, taking
baseline data, and deciding on which method of interobserver agreement to use.
A. verifying data
B. selecting a tracking method
C. collecting baseline data
D. defining the target behavior - Answer-D
Data collection may be skewed unintentionally by the RBT. This is a possibility because
of all of the following except__________.
· reactivity- or the presence of the observer influencing the subject's behavior
· ABA is not a real science
· observer drift, or the change overtime in what the observer thinks the operational
definition is
· the data collection procedure is too complex - Answer-B
