John seems to be spending a lot of time watching television. Before I determine if we need to change
his access to the tv, I decide to measure how long he is actually watching tv each day. What
measurable dimension am I using to collect data? - Correct Answer duration
One significant difference between experimental analysis of behavior and applied behavior analysis is
that experimental analysis of behavior occurs in a - Correct Answer laboratory
I have been referred a new client. My first steps in completing her assessment will be do complete a
record review and interview her parents and teachers. This part of the assessment is considered -
Correct Answer indirect assessment
Mary is having a difficult time remaining seated during morning meeting on the rug. We develop an
intervention and the teacher will utilize interval recording to track data. Our time 10 minute
observation time is broken down into 30 second intervals. The teacher records a "+" for the
occurrence of a behavior if it occurs at any point during the interval. This type of interval recording is
called - Correct Answer partial interval
IOA stands for - Correct Answer inter-observer agreement
The applied science and professional practice concerned with analyzing and modifying human
behavior is called - Correct Answer behavior modification
what we say and do - Correct Answer behavior
SAFMEDS stands for - Correct Answer Say All Fast, Minute Each Day Shuffled
One of the characteristics of applied behavior analysis describes ensuring the behaviors of concern
are socially significant to the individual. Which characteristic are they referring to? - Correct Answer
applied
True or false. Applied behavior analysis is used solely with children and adults with autism. - Correct
Answer false
, True or False. B.F Skinner was a major figure and contributed significantly to the development of the
field of applied behavior analysis - Correct Answer true
In order to ensure accurate measurement of a behavior we need to ensure our definition is clear and
specific. It will focus on overt behaviors that both measurable and - Correct Answer observable
During direct assessment, one factor that needs to be considered is the client's response to being
observed. This altering of behavior due to observation is referred to as - Correct Answer reactivity
Mark is a kindergarten student. He is having difficulty keeping up with the teacher instructions. Often
when a direction is given, he takes a significant amount of time to respond. A measurable dimension
we could use to track this behavior is - Correct Answer latency
A treatment design characterized by rapidly alternating treatments is called an - Correct Answer
alternating treatment design
True or False. The purpose of a graph is to visually present data in order to determine the
effectiveness of treatments. - Correct Answer true
On a graph, the vertical axis is called the - Correct Answer y axis
When utilizing a multiple baseline design, it can be done across subjects, behaviors and - Correct
Answer settings
In an experiment, the independent variable is the - Correct Answer treatment
An A-B design does not demonstrate a functional relationship because treatment is not replicated -
Correct Answer true
On a graph, behavior is tracked on the Y axis and unit of ___________ is plotted on the X axis -
Correct Answer time
An A-B-A-B represents what type of treatment design - Correct Answer reversal
