SPCE 611 EXAM 2 QUESTIONS AND VERIFIED
ANSWERS
Which of the following refers to the overall direction a data path takes? - Answers -
trend
In a multiple baseline design graph, what do you remove from the x axis in all but the
last graph? - Answers - the number or dates for sessions
Which of the following is an example of a discontinous measurement system? -
Answers - momentary time-sampling
Which of the following is an example of indirect measurement? - Answers - ratings
obtained from a teacher or student behavior
All of the following are threats to internal validity except: - Answers - generalization to
additional populations
To control for observer drift, researchers can - Answers - NOT-improve treatment fidelity
The two assumptions about the nature of behavior are: (a) behavior is an individual
phenomenon and (b) behavior is a dynamic, continuous phenomenon. - Answers - false
The behavior analytic assumption of behavioral variability is that it is extrinsic to the
organism. - Answers - true
Parametric studies involve: - Answers - multiple manipulations of the independent
variable to determine the differential effects of a range of values of the independent
variable
The purpose of collecting data in a systematic way and graphing them using single
subject research design is to: - Answers - predict, verify, replicate
In a changing criterion design, the introduction of the independent variable (IV) is done
in a(n) - Answers - stepwise fashion
When treatment is introduced in the first component of a multiple baseline design, the
baseline levels in the other components should _________________. - Answers - stay
the same
If generalization is observed when the independent variable is introduced to the first
baseline in the multiple baseline design, one way to show control is to change the
