Disadvantages of discontinuous measures -......ANSWER........artifacts, different
procedures will produce different results, variability in your data.
Discontinuous measures - ......ANSWER........percentage of occurrence: partial interval
recording, whole interval recording, momentary time sampling, PLACHECK, trials to
criterion.
Effective - .... ANSWER........interventions are effective when they improve their behavior in
a practical matter. If the application of behavioral techniques does not produce large
enough effects for practical value, then the application has failed.
Empiricism -...ANSWER........objective observation of phenomena of interest. Science is
built on this attitude.
Establishing a clear pattern of behavior during ___________________ sets the occasion for
introducing the independent variable and studying its effect on behavior.
- ......ANSWER........baseline
Exact count IOA -......ANSWER........each interval must match to score. very conservative
method that will lower total agreement in practice.
External validity - ......ANSWER........results can be generalized to other subjects, settings,
or behavior
Functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F - ......ANSWER........false
,2 of 20
Generality - ......ANSWER........a behavioral change may be said to have generality if it
proves durable over time, if it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, and/or if
it spreads to a wide variety of related behaviors.
Good lines graphs - ......ANSWER........vertical axis labeled with quantitative measure and
horizontal axis is labeled with a unit of time; vertical axis length has a 2:3 ratio to the
horizontal axis; tic marks pointed outward; tick marks have labels; a minimal number of
evenly spaced tick marks; data points clearly visibly; data paths clearly visible; condition
change lines; condition labels; figure caption.
Group design -......ANSWER........seeks to determine what factors are likely related to an
outcome. standard bell curve.
Group design is related to what level of scientific understanding?
- ......ANSWER........prediction
How to demonstrate a functional relation in a changing criterion design
- ......ANSWER........the behavior reaches the criterion in each phase. does not have
outliers for consecutive number of predetermined units of time. bidirectional change: the
criterion drops back to a previous phase and then exceeds in the next phase (strengthens
the argument)
How to demonstrate a functional relation in a multiple baseline design
-......ANSWER........the behavior change occurs when the IV is introduced. The chance of
an extraneous variable influencing the DV repeatedly is highly unlikely. If baseline changes,
an extraneous variable has influenced results.
How to demonstrate a functional relation in an alternating treatment design
-......ANSWER........comparison of conditions.
How to show a functional relation with a multiple baseline with variations design
- ......ANSWER........change in behavior at the introduction of treatment occurs in each
panel
, 3 of 20
How would you collect data on a tantrum? - ......ANSWER........duration
How would you collect data on completing a worksheet in class? - ......ANSWER........count
How would you collect data on instances of aggression? - ......ANSWER........count
How would you collect data on steps taken per day? - ......ANSWER........count
If a BCBA is interested in increasing the time spent writing an essay, what data collection
method would be best? - ......ANSWER........duration
If a BCBA needs to target high rates of physical stereotypy, which measure would likely be
best? - ......ANSWER........partial interval recording
If a quotation has more than _____ words, it must be displayed in a freestanding block of
text and omit __________. - ......ANSWER........40; quotation marks
In a multiple baseline design, the functional relationship between the independent variable
and the change in the subject's behavior is determined by: - ......ANSWER........Observation
of unchanged behaviors in other tiers
in ABAB design, what letter represents baseline? - ......ANSWER........A
in what order should you consume a research paper? - ......ANSWER........results -->
methods --> discussion --> introduction
Instrumentation - ......ANSWER........modification in measurement or dimension of
measurement
Internal validity - ......ANSWER........assures that measured changes in behaviors are due to
manipulation and not due to uncontrolled variables
interval by interval IOA -......ANSWER........each interval is matched from primary observer
and secondary. total number agreed/total agreed + disagreed. Nonoccurrence counts.
