ABA 624 MIDTERM ACTUAL EXAM
PAPER 2026 QUESTIONS WITH
ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Variability.
Answer: High _ in data may suggest that the behavior is influenced by
factors other than the independent variable.
◍ During this type of experimental design, has baseline, the interventions and
then return to baseline. What type of design is this?.
Answer: A-B-A Design
◍ Interval Recording.
Answer: ____is appropriate when behavior occurs at a high rate but does not
need to be captured in its entirety.
◍ During this type of experimental design, the Researcher reverses responding
to a level obtained in a previous condition. For this to occur, the behavior
must approximate the initial baseline level..
Answer: Reversal Design
◍ The extent to which the response meets standards or is correct. The observed
values approximate the "true" state of nature..
Answer: Accuracy
◍ The professor presented their research at an ABA Conference. The extent to
which the researcher can convince others to accept that the data is a
representation of what research is intended is.
Answer: Believability
◍ Momentary Time Sampling.
Answer: Recording if a student is on-task at the end of every 5 minutes
, during an observation period is.

Answer: Duration

answer a question during whole group instruction. What is being measured?.
Answer: Frequency
◍ Legend.
Answer: Including a ___ on a graph helps to provide context for the data
being presented.
◍ Slope.
Answer: A steep ____ indicates that the behavior is changing rapidly
◍ Independent Variable.
Answer: ____refers to the variable being manipulated or changed on the
horizontal axis of graph.
◍ Whole interval recording.
Answer: ___tends to underestimate the occurrence of behavior compared to
continuous measurement.

Answer: To assess concurrent validity of a new measurement tool, compare
results with an established___measure.
◍ Environmental.
Answer: _____constraints, such as time and resources, should be considered
when selecting a measurement procedure.
◍ The teacher gave the students 15 minutes to independently read at the end of
a difficult work day. At the end of the 15 minutes, the teacher recorded all
the students that were engaged and actively looking a their books. What type
of Time Sampling did the teacher use?.
Answer: Momentary Time Sampling
◍ Product.
Answer: To evaluate the effectiveness of a new teaching strategy, a
researcher might analyze students' ___measures, such as completed
assignments.
◍ The Speech Pathologist wanted to measure how often her client engaged in
vocal preservations. The behavior occurred so fast and often. It was difficult
for the pathologist to record baseline data. What is the best method for the
speech pathologist to measure the vocal preservations?.
Answer: Partial-Interval Recording

Answer: Measuring how long a student engages in on-task behavior is an
example of _____ recording.
