EDF 6437 final EXAM | QUESTIONS WITH CORRECT
VERIFIED ANSWERS |2025 EDITION|RATED A+
What is the purpose of single subject research design - ANSWER To determine the cause and
effect relationship between a specific intervention and behavior as an individual
What is a dependent, variable in single subject, research, design - ANSWER The behavior being
measured and affected by the intervention
What is a functional relationship in a single subject research design - ANSWER The
demonstrated causal connection between the intervention and the change in behavior
What is a baseline phase in single subject? - ANSWER The period of time during which no
intervention is applied, serving as a comparison for evaluating the effects of the intervention
What is the advantage of single subject research design - ANSWER It enables assessment of the
effectiveness of an intervention at the individual level
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in assessing the effectiveness of a token economy
system on increasing on-task behavior for a student in a classroom. What type of single subject
research design would be most appropriate for this study - ANSWER ABA Reversal Design
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in comparing the effectiveness of two different
reinforcement schedules (FR and VR) on increasing the frequency of a target behavior. What
type of single subject research design would be most appropriate for this study? - ANSWER
Alternating Treatment Designs
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of a self monitoring
intervention on reducing a specific problem behavior for three boys who display similar
, behaviors in similar circumstances. What type of single subject research design would be most
appropriate for this study? - ANSWER Multiple Baseline Design
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of a prompting strategy
on increasing naming fluency in children with autism. What type of single subject research
design would be most appropriate for this study - ANSWER Changing Criterion Design
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in comparing the usefulness of two reinforcers for
increasing prosocial behaviors in an adolescent. What type of single subject research design
would be most appropriate for this study? - ANSWER Alternating Treatment Designs: ABAB
Design
Which of the following terms describes a situation in which the reinforcing consequences of a
behavior serve to maintain or increase a behavior - ANSWER Contingency
Which of the following refers to the increase in the frequency of a behavior in the presence of a
stimulus that is similar to the conditioned reinforcer due to a history of differential
reinforcement - ANSWER Stimulus Generalization
What is the term used to describe a specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated
with a particular stimulus condition, where each response serves as an antecedent for the next
one - ANSWER Behavior Chain
Which of the 7 Dimensions of ABA can be defined as "a believable demonstration that events
controlled by the researcher account for the presence or absence of the behavior in question" -
ANSWER Analytic
Which phase is present in all single subject research designs, no matter the type - ANSWER
Treatment
