BEHV 5622 - Study Guide: Bailey & Burch
Part 1 - A Brief Introduction to Behavior
Analysis Research
Applied behavior analytic research appears to be simple, but actually takes extensive
efforts to accomplish. What are some of the steps applied researchers have to take that
are rarely mentioned in publications?
(Select all that apply)
come up with an original idea
locate an environment in which to conduct their research
determine the functions of behavior
identify socially significant target behaviors - Answer--come up with an original idea
locate an environment in which to conduct their research
What is the purpose of this textbook?
(Select all that apply)
to describe a proven formula for successful research
to provide new researchers with a set of guidelines to help them get started with their
initial research
to learn how to critique published studies to determine if they meed the standards of the
BACB
, to teach new researchers how to publish articles - Answer--to describe a proven formula
for successful research
to provide new researchers with a set of guidelines to help them get started with their
initial research
to learn how to critique published studies to determine if they meed the standards of the
BACB
Early "free-operant" studies required that researchers, who were used to working with
rats and pigeons in the lab, make some adjustments to their experimental methods.
Which of the following are adjustments that had to be made as behavioral research
began to take place in the natural environment?
manipulated consequences beyond presentation of food had to be considered
all of these
the natural environment had to be stabilized as much as possible
new data-collection procedures had to be developed
human observers had to be extensively trained to collect data objectively - Answer--all
of these
Systematic observation procedures for collecting data on significant human behaviors in
the natural environment took time to develop. In the article, "The Psychiatric Nurse as a
Behavioral Engineer," Ayllon and Michael (1959) used which of the following data
collection procedures for the first time?
timing
duration
time-sampling
event recording - Answer--time-sampling
During the 1960's, which of the following advancements in observation and control
procedures occurred?
all of these
the reversal design was modified to contain an extended baseline
the 10-second-interval recording method evolved
post-treatment checks were added to provide evidence of the durability of behavior
change
inter-observer agreement was conducted to demonstrate that behavioral definitions and
recording methods were clear - Answer--all of these
