EDF 6437 FINAL EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A+ GRADED | WITH EXPERT
SOLUTIONS
functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F - (ANSWER)false
a parametric analysis evaluates what? - (ANSWER)sustainability of the IV
a functional relation is the relationship between what? - (ANSWER)a treatment and behavior
which effect is least likely to be a threat to validity in ABA? ** - (ANSWER)diffusion
which measure of behavior provides most accurate counts? - (ANSWER)permanent product
what is the number 1 contributor to artifacts? - (ANSWER)human error
which discontinuous measure is related to momentary time sampling, but used with groups? -
(ANSWER)PLACHECK
if a BCBA needs to target high rates of physical stereotypy which measure would likely be best? -
(ANSWER)partial interval recording
if a BCBA is interested in increasing time spent writing an essay what data collection method would be
best? - (ANSWER)duration
T/F the dead person's test states that anything unobservable is NOT behavior? - (ANSWER)false
which component of a research paper meets the "technological" dimensions of ABA? -
(ANSWER)methods
T/F the results section includes tables and figures to provide concise analysis of data? - (ANSWER)true
a research paper should provide what type of questions? - (ANSWER)open ended questions
,EDF 6437 FINAL EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A+ GRADED | WITH EXPERT
SOLUTIONS
when citing two authors in a manuscript you should follow which format - (ANSWER)Last & Last, year
e.g. Williams & Williams, 2017
T/F Disseminating ABA through conferences, or manuscripts is the responsibility of all BCBAs and
students of ABA? - (ANSWER)true
stretching the horizontal axis on a line graph make the data appear in which manner? - (ANSWER)slow
increasing trend
which of the following is not a level of scientific understanding? - (ANSWER)data
which attitude of science suggests we should test our hypothesis? - (ANSWER)experimentation
which measure of behavior is related to temporal extent? - (ANSWER)duration
temporal locus is related to - (ANSWER)latency and IRT
why do we stagger the intervention in a multiple baseline? - (ANSWER)to demonstrate latency to change
and determine if there is a functional relation
ABAB design - (ANSWER)AKA reversal design or withdrawal design. "A" represents a return to baseline
and can demonstrate a functional relation. the behavior should change when treatment is removed back
to baseline. little likelihood than an outside factor created the change. verifies and replicates findings
alternating treatments design - (ANSWER)
changing criterion design - (ANSWER)
, EDF 6437 FINAL EXAM 2026 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS | A+ GRADED | WITH EXPERT
SOLUTIONS
multiple probe design - (ANSWER)
multiple baseline design - (ANSWER)variation of the AB design, can be conducted across participants,
behaviors, or settings. treatment is constant regardless
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
effective - (ANSWER)interventions are effective when they improve a 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
maturation - (ANSWER)physical changes
testing effects - (ANSWER)change in behavior due to repeated exposure of the experimental
arrangement
technological - (ANSWER)Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others may implement
the procedures accurately.
applied - (ANSWER)A behavior change is applied when it enhances and improves the everyday life of a
learner, and those who are closest to a learner (e.g., parents, siblings, peers), by improving a socially
significant behavior
conceptually systematic - (ANSWER)Interventions are consistent with the principles demonstrated in the
literature and the research
analytic - (ANSWER)Using data to make informed decisions. The practitioner is able to show that
whenever he/she applies a certain variable, the behavior is produced, and whenever he/she removes
this variable, the behavior is lost
