630 Exam 1 Questions With Accurate Answers Graded A+

Testing, maturation, procedural infidelity - correct answers Threats to internal validity include History - correct answers Events that occur during the experiment but that are not related to planned procedural changes that may influence the outcomes. Maturation - correct answers Changes in behavior due to the passage of time. Testing - correct answers Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition, which influences responding. Instrumentation - correct answers Threats related to the measurement system, and are of concern because of repeated measurement by human observers who may make errors. Procedural Infidelity - correct answers Inconsistent implementation of the experimental condition. Attrition - correct answers The loss of participants during a study, which limits the generality of findings. Multiple treatment integrity - correct answers Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced by more than one planned intervention during the course of a study. Cyclical Variability - correct answers A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and predictable pattern in the data series over time. ???? NOT: Is best described as the effect of a procedure used in one condition on responding in an adjacent condition. Are more difficult to address than sequence effects. May influence the participants' responding based on the order in which the experimental conditions are introduced to participants. Both A and B are correct. - correct answers Carryover effects: The alternative hypothesis - correct answers The hypothesis that assumes that sample observations are influenced by some non-random cause is: Mean =12, Median = 11, Mode = 7, 22 - correct answers Amanda is an RBT at an ABA clinic. She is working with her client, Jerrell, to decrease aggressive behaviors (i.e., biting others). She has collected data for the frequency of Jerrell's bites for three weeks. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following data set (round up to the nearest whole number): Week 1: 12, 11, 10, 22, 22 Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 21, 17 Week 3: 16, 7, 9, 3, 0 ???? A Type I Error NOT A Type 2 Error A threat to internal validity A threat to external validity Cannot be determined based on the information provided. - correct answers Dr. Jones wanted to know if the use of the Good Behavior Game decreased rates of disruptive behaviors in an elementary school. Dr. Jones collected data throughout the duration of the school year across two elementary schools. In school A, all k-6 classrooms used the Good Behavior Game. In School B, no classrooms used the Good Behavior Game. At the end of the school year, Dr. Jones shouted, "Eureka! The Good Behavior Game works," when in fact it had no impact on student disruptive behavior. This is an example of: Detail the plan of study being proposed. Provide a sufficiently detailed description of the study so a trained researcher can implement the study as intended with no additional guidance. Build a rationale for the study. Both A and B are correct. (correct) - correct answers The primary purpose of the method section is to: Most studies include more than one participant. - correct answers Which of the following is true about single-case research design? The rejection of the null hypothesis is more decisive in larger sample sizes. Large enough sample sizes will always show a significant difference between populations. Statistical analysis may fail to reject the null hypothesis in small sample sizes. ***All of the above are true. - correct answers Which of the following is a limitation of using statistical significance to differentiate between meaningful and trivial change? Group designs only have one or two measurement occasions. Group designs provide no information on which individual subjects changed. Group designs provide no information on how the individual subjects changed. ***All of the above are potential limitations of group design. - correct answers Which of the following is a limitation of group design? Single case research design methodology - correct answers Dr. Lestremau is employed in a large urban school district with 10 elementary schools. She wants to evaluate the effects and feasibility of peer-mediated, school-based, discrete trial training for teaching multiplication skills to six students with autism spectrum disorder. She will collect on-going and frequent measurement of students' fluency with multiplication facts. Dr. Lestremau is using: The frequency of spontaneous greetings - correct answers Kacyn is a BCBA at an ABA Center. She is running a small social skills group with 6 children who have autism spectrum disorder. Kacyn is using the "Tough Kids Social Skills Curriculum." The goal of the social skills sessions is to build basic social entry skills (e.g., making eye contact, greetings, responding to name). Prior to the start of the group, Kacyn collected data for each of the participants. Specifically, she asked the therapists to complete the BASC-2 (a rating scale that measures changes in behavior and emotional status) and also collected the frequency of spontaneous greetings during a 30-minute observation period. She continued to collect data for spontaneous greetings during and after implementation of the social skills group. What is the dependent variable? Reading articles in journals, such as, the Journal of Behavior Assessment and Intervention in Children, which provide articles for free. - correct answers According to Carr and Briggs (2010) practitioners of applied behavior analysis should base their professional activities on the research literature. One barrier is the cost of journal subscriptions. A solution suggested by Carr and Briggs (2010) includes: ??? NOT - Basilone, Doran, Farrelly, & McCoy (2017) Basilone et al. (2017) (Basilone, Doran, Farrelly, & McCoy, 2017) (Basilone et al, 2017) - correct answers Which of the following is the correct format for a parenthetical citation with 4 authors for the first narrative citation in text (APA 7th edition) Whole interval recording - correct answers Which type of recording is a discontinuous measurement procedure? To assess the reliability of the findings - correct answers What is a primary reason for replicating the findings of a study: ????
