Solutions
functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F - ANSWER-false
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
when citing two authors in a manuscript you should follow which format - ANSWER-Last
& Last, year
e.g. Williams & Williams, 2017
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
generality - ANSWER-a behavioral change may be said to have generality if it proves
durable over time, if it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, and/or if it
spreads to a wide variety of related behaviors
effective - ANSWER-interventions are effective when they improve a behavior in a
practical matter. If the application of behavioral techniques does not produce large
enough effects for practical value, then the application has failed
maturation - ANSWER-physical changes
testing effects - ANSWER-change in behavior due to repeated exposure of the
experimental arrangement
technological - ANSWER-Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others
may implement the procedures accurately.
