Which of the following refers to the overall direction a data path takes?
trend
In a multiple baseline design graph, what do you remove from the x axis in all but
the last graph?
the number or dates for sessions
Which of the following is an example of a discontinous measurement system?
momentary time-sampling
Which of the following is an example of indirect measurement?
ratings obtained from a teacher or student behavior
All of the following are threats to internal validity except:
generalization to additional populations
To control for observer drift, researchers can
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.
false
The behavior analytic assumption of behavioral variability is that it is extrinsic to
the organism.
true
Parametric studies involve:
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:
predict, verify, replicate
In a changing criterion design, the introduction of the independent variable (IV) is
done in a(n)
stepwise fashion
When treatment is introduced in the first component of a multiple baseline
design, the baseline levels in the other components should _________________.
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 design to ___________________.
NOT: any other single subject research design
Three elements of social validity are:
goals; procedures; outcomes
Social validity refers to the degree to which:
assessment and treatment effects result in approval by relevant members of a
community
Treatment fidelity refers to the extent to which
the therapist accurately implements the treatment
External validity refers to the extent to which:
how well the results can be generalized to other populations, settings, etc.
