EDF 6225 Exam #2 Questions and
Answers Graded A+
Functional Relationship - Correct answer-the results of an experiment that describe
the occurrence of the phenomena under study as a function of the operation of one
or more specified and controlled variables in the experiment in which specific
change in one event (dependent variable) can be produced by manipulating another
event (the independent variable) and that the change in the dependent variable was
unlikely the result of other factors (confounding variable).
Functional Relationship - Correct answer-It shows specific manipulations of one
event (IV) produce a change in other events (DV) and that change in the DV was
unlikely the result of extraneous factors (confounding variables)- this finding is
the....
Independent Variable (IV) - Correct answer-The variable that is systematically
manipulated by the researcher in an experiment to see whether changes in the
independent variable produce reliable changes in the dependent variable. In applied
behavior analysis, it is usually an environment event or condition antecedent or

, consequent to the dependent variable. (sometimes called the intervention or
treatment variable)
Dependent Variable (DV) - Correct answer-The measured behavior in an
experiment to determine if it changes as a result of manipulations of the
independent variable; in applied behavior analysis, it represents some measure of a
socially significant behavior. (Target behavior)
antecedent - Correct answer-is the environmental conditions or stimulus changes
that exist or occur prior to the behavior of interest.
Behavior - Correct answer-An organism's interaction with the environment.
Consequence - Correct answer-is anything immediately following a behavior in
which we are interested.
Stimulus Class - Correct answer-A group of stimuli that are similar along one or
more dimensions (for example, they look or sound similar, they have a common
effect on behavior, or they occur at similar times relative to the response).
Stimulus Class - Correct answer-You show a student a banana, kiwi, strawberry
and plum. You ask the student, "What are these?" The student says, "Fruit", even
though they are all different fruits.
