EAB 4798 Exam Questions With Correct
Answers.
Bobby has trouble sitting still in class, and a behavior consultant works with a teacher to
implement a clinical program in which she praises Bobby when staying in his seat. Bobby's
sitting behavior increases, and the teacher concludes to the behavior consultant that her praise
was responsible for the change. The teacher does not realize that Bobby has started taking
medication that causes fatigue. In this example, the medication is serving as: - answer✔an
extraneous variable
is a method of arranging comparisons between control and experimental (or treatment)
conditions in which different groups of subjects are exposed to control and experimental
conditions so that the data represent the combined performance of individual participants who
have experienced only one of the conditions. - answer✔between-groups design
When examining behavioral variability, the greatest detail can be found by: - answer✔looking at
the distribution of individual responses over time during an observation period
Researchers and practitioners examine behavioral variability using all of the following
approaches, except: - answer✔comparing simultaneous but independent observations from two
or more observers

An experiment that compared two different groups of subjects, one of which experiences the
independent variable and the other of which does not experience the independent variable is a ...
design: - answer✔between- groups
While eliminating extraneous variables to help manage behavioral variability has advantages, it
can also be problematic. All of the following disadvantages associated with this tactic, except: -
answer✔it is so difficult to do that the investigator's time is often better spent on other issues
What is the problem for the study of behavior with using data from groups of subjects who are
exposed to either the control or experimental condition alone? - answer✔it leads to data that
mixed behavioral variability with intersubject variability
What does it mean to propose that variability in behavior is intrinsic? - answer✔variability is
inherent in organisms and cannot be influenced by environmental factors
variability refers to the differences in responding between participants. - answer✔intersubject
What are the methodological consequences of assuming that behavioral variability is extrinsic? -
answer✔it required the investigator to focus throughout the study or clinical treatment on
specific features of the relations between behavior of the individual and the environment
The only source of variability whose impact is intentional is the ______. - answer✔independent
variable

What are the three general functions served by behavioral variability? - answer✔guides
experimental/ clinical decisions; provides foundation for interpretations; motivates investigator
What are three kinds of biological influences on variability in behavior? - answer✔cyclic
physiological processes, developmental processes, and environmental effects on body functions
What is the problem for the study of behavior with using data from groups of subjects who are
exposed to either the control or experimental condition alone? - answer✔it leads to data that
mixes behavioral variability with intersubject variablity
The traditional assumption is that variability is ______ to the nature of organisms. -
answer✔intrinsic
The phrase ______ refers to how researchers arrange comparisons between control and
experimental conditions so as to permit inferences about any effects independent variables may
have on responding. - answer✔experimental design
In the most general sense, ______ is the subject matter of all sciences. - answer✔variability
A(n) ______ is an effect of a participant's behavior resulting from exposure to a prior condition. -
answer✔sequence effect
A pattern of responding that shows relatively little variation in its measured dimensional
quantities over some period of time is known as a ______. - answer✔steady state
