RTE 1503 TEST 1 FINAL TEST 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
● Evidence Based Practice. Answer: Term used to describe when an intervention has gone
through rigorous, high quality experimentation and has been considered to be of value for
specific individuals and/or behaviors of interest.
● Independent Variable. Answer: A term synonymous with "intervention"
● Dependent Variable. Answer: A term synonymous with "behavior"
● Internal Validity. Answer: Is considered high when there is clear experimental control
● Experimental Control. Answer: When this is demonstrated, we have verified that there is a
functional relation between the independent and dependent variables - that is, that the change
in the dependent variable (behavior) is causally (functionally) related to the implementation of
the independent variable
● Functional Relation. Answer: Visually demonstrated (through visual analysis of the
graphed data) control of the behavior by the intervention
● Reliability. Answer: Means "consistency" of an experiment
● Validity. Answer: Means "accuracy" of an experiment
● External Validity. Answer: A term referring to the replication of the same or similar results
from an experiment; in other words, the degree to which findings have generality across
studies
● Social Validity. Answer: Refers to a socially significant behavior of interest/focus of
research
● Demonstration Question. Answer: Basic experiment examining whether an intervention is
effective at changing (increasing or decreasing) the behavior of interest
● Comparison Question. Answer: Experiment examining which of two or more interventions
are more effective at changing (increasing or decreasing) the behavior of interest
, ● Component Analysis Question. Answer: Experiment examining what parts of a package
intervention are needed for changing (increasing or decreasing) the behavior of interest
● Parametric Analysis Question. Answer: Experiment examining how much of an
intervention is needed to be effective at changing(increasing or decreasing) the behavior of
interest
● Systematic Replication. Answer: Carrying out a series of studies on one's own research
or carrying out the exact or expanding on the research of others
● Intra-Participant Direct Replication. Answer: an investigator's attempts to repeat an
experimental effect with the same participant
● Inter-Participant Direct Replication. Answer: an investigator's attempts to repeat an
experimental effect across participants in the same study
● Demonstration of Effect. Answer: A clear and obvious change in the dependent variable
either when an independent variable is introduced or removed during experimentation
● Vocal Manding. Answer: In the research question, "will a telehealth parent coaching
procedure increase vocal manding for toddlers with speech delays?" ______________is the
Dependent Variable
● Parent Coaching. Answer: In the research question, ""will a telehealth parent coaching
procedure increase vocal manding for toddlers with speech delays?", ______________is the
Independent Variable
● Operational Definition of Behavior. Answer: Behavior analysts achieve this when they
describe the target in observable and measurable terms.
● Frequency. Answer: This measurement method involves counting the number behaviors
one observes.
● Duration. Answer: This measurement of behavior involves recording how long a behavior
lasts.
● Latency. Answer: This measurement of behavior involves recording the length of time
between some antecedent stimuli or cue and the onset of the behavior.
● Inter-response Time. Answer: This recording method involves recording the length of time
from the offset of one behavior and the onset of the next behavior.
