QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
GRADED A+
⩥ 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
⩥ 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:
⩥ 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
