EDF 6437 Single case design Exam 1
Questions With Correct Answers
True Experimental Research - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Uses experimental design to
| | | | | | | |
measure the effect of manipulating one variable (IV) on another variable (DV)
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
Controlling and minimizing threats to internal validity without losing the intent of
| | | | | | | | | | | |
the study.
|
Independent Variable (IV) - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Particular aspect of the
| | | | | | | | |
environment that the experimenter manipulates in order to determine its effect
| | | | | | | | | | |
on behavior.
|
Empirical Research - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-systematic intentional inquiry
| | | | | | |
involving collection, analysis, and interpretation of data.• Data can be qualitative
| | | | | | | | | | |
or quantitative• Hypothesis is posed, variables manipulated, data collected and
| | | | | | | | | |
analyzed.• Not opinion based | | |
Dependent variable - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Behavior you are targeting (
| | | | | | | | |
Outcome measure/Target Behavior)
| |
How is research shared: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Articles- Empirical Studies-
| | | | | | | | |
Literature Reviews- Theoretical Articles-Methodological Articles-Case Studies
| | | | |
Single Case Design - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-experimental control within a single
| | | | | | | | | |
participant
, What is an experiment? - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Method used to answer
| | | | | | | | | |
questions.• Differs from common sense and logical-based approaches•
| | | | | | | |
Systematic testing of assumptions | | |
what is Thorndike known for - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Thorndike (1898)- Law of
| | | | | | | | | | |
effect, learning of new behaviors
| | | |
Components of an Experiment - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Plan (method) or | | | | | | | | |
arranging and measuring independent/dependent variables, Results are analyzed
| | | | | | | |
Results are publicly reported | | |
Assumptions of Experimentation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1. Correlation does not
| | | | | | | | |
equal causation!!!!! |
2. Events have identified causes.
| | | |
3. Behavior is a function of its consequences.
| | | | | | |
Empiricism - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Making objective observations• Manipulating
| | | | | |
one variable at a time• Holding other variables constant• Recording findings•
| | | | | | | | | | | |
Replicating results |
Experimental Control - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Requires the experimenter to | | | | | | | |
demonstrate a functional | | |
relation between behavior and environment.
| | | |
• It may happen naturally but experimental control is
| | | | | | | | |
achieved when the experimenter creates the opportunity
| | | | | | |
for "it" to happen
