SPCE 630
Threats to internal validity include: - History, maturation, testing, procedural infidelity
Events that occur during the experiment but that are not related to planned procedural
changes that may influence the outcomes. - History
Changes in behavior due to the passage of time. - Maturation
Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test repeatedly during a baseline
or probe condition, which influences responding. - Testing
Threats related to the measurement system, and are of concern because of repeated
measurement by human observers who may make errors. - Instrumentation
Inconsistent implementation of the experimental condition. - Procedural Infidelity
The loss of participants during a study, which limits the generality of findings. - Attrition
Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced by more than one planned
intervention during the course of a study. - Multiple Treatment Intreference
A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and predictable pattern in the data
series over time. - Cyclical Variability
Carryover effects: - NOT: Is best described as the effect of a procedure used in one
condition on responding in an adjacent condition.
The hypothesis that assumes that sample observations are influenced by some
non-random cause is: - The alternative hypothesis
Amanda is an RBT at an ABA clinic. She is working with her client, Jerrell, to decrease
aggressive behaviors (i.e., biting others). She has collected data for the frequency of
Jerrell's bites for three weeks. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following
data set (round to the nearest whole number):
Week 1: 22, 31, 20, 32, 32
Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 31, 17
Week 3: 16, 5, 9, 12, 15 - Mean = 18, Median =16, Mode = 31, 32
, Dr. Jones wanted to know if the use of the Good Behavior Game decreased rates of
disruptive behaviors in an elementary school. Dr. Jones collected data throughout the
duration of the school year across two elementary schools. In school A, all k-6
classrooms used the Good Behavior Game. In School B, no classrooms used the Good
Behavior Game. At the end of the school year, Dr. Jones shouted, "Eureka! The Good
Behavior Game works," when in fact it had no impact on student disruptive behavior.
This is an example of: - A Type I Error
The primary purpose of the literature review is to: - All of the above
Which of the following is true about single-case research design? - The participant
serves as his or her own control.
These graphs demonstrate which of the following: - Inter-subject replication with an
A/B/A/B design
These data show which of the following: - A change in variability
Which of the following is a limitation of using statistical significance to differentiate
between meaningful and trivial change? - NOT: Large enough sample sizes will always
show a significant difference between populations.
Which of the following is a limitation of group design? - All of the above are potential
limitations of group design.
Dr. Lestremau is employed in a large urban school district with 10 elementary schools.
She wants to evaluate the effects and feasibility of peer-mediated, school-based,
discrete trial training for teaching multiplication skills to six students with autism
spectrum disorder. She will collect on-going and frequent measurement of students'
fluency with multiplication facts. Dr. Lestremau is using: - Single case research design
methodology
Kacyn is a BCBA at an ABA Center. She is running a small social skills group with 6
children who have autism spectrum disorder. Kacyn is using the "Tough Kids Social
Skills Curriculum." The goal of the social skills sessions is to build basic social entry
skills (e.g., making eye contact, greetings, responding to name). Prior to the start of the
group, Kacyn collected data for each of the participants. Specifically, she asked the
therapists to complete the BASC-2 (a rating scale that measures changes in behavior
and emotional status) and also collected the frequency of spontaneous greetings during
