Inconsistent implementation of condition protocols refers to which threat to internal
validity? - ANS-procedural infidelity
Which level of scientific understanding includes observation and accurate description of
phenomena? - ANS-description
Which level of scientific understanding refers to observing the correlation between two
variables? - ANS-prediction
Which level of scientific understanding refers to reliable change produced by change in
the IV? - ANS-control
SCRD differs from group design in that the participant serves as their own - ANS-control
Articles in which researchers report the findings of original research are - ANS-primary
research
Articles in which the authors summarize the findings of other researchers are -
ANS-review articles
Articles that report statistical analyses from existing research are - ANS-meta analyses
Duration recording is a suitable data collection method for all of the following behaviors
except - ANS-number of times a student engaged in physical aggression
Event recording is used to measure behaviors that - ANS-have a clear beginning and
end
do not occur at a frequency that is too high to count
are brief and temporary
Variables manipulated by researchers are known as - ANS-Independent variables
Well-designed applied research studies should - ANS-include systematic study of
behaviors in typical environments
, The committee responsible for examining proposed studies to ensure human participant
safety and ethical compliance is the - ANS-IRB
Respect for persons, beneficence, and justice are the ethical principles outlined in the -
ANS-belmont report
The same level of risk a participant would encounter in daily life is - ANS-minimal risk
Maximizing potential benefits while minimizing potential harm is - ANS-beneficence
Which of the following is not a function of a literature review? - ANS-presenting a clear
and concise summary of the paper
the methods section of a research article - ANS-provides a detailed operation
description of how the study was conducted
the relevance of a study's data is outlined in the - ANS-discussion
the five sections of a final report in order are - ANS-abstract, introduction, method,
results, discussion
Which type of recording samples behavior occurrences and provides an estimate of the
actual occurrences of the behavior? - ANS-discontinuous recording
When using MTS, occurrences of the target behavior are recorded if the behavior
occurs - ANS-at the end of the interval
If observers do not agree on behavior occurrences when collecting data (low IOA),
which common problems could be present? - ANS-observer bias, error, observer drift
Whole interval recording tends to - ANS-underestimate behavior occurrences
Which type of validity refers to whether or not the measurement procedures accurately
reflect the target behavior being measured? - ANS-construct validity
