2024 / EDF 6226 BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT IN APPLIED
BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
DETAILED ANSWERS|ALREADY GRADED A
The ratio of the x axis to the y axis should be...? - ANSWER: 2:3
What is correlation? - ANSWER: A relationship between two variables that can be
used to predict the relative probability that one event will occur, based on the
presence of the other event
What are the three levels of scientific understanding? - ANSWER: Description,
prediction, control
Dr. Pennypacker made an important distinction that we do not control behavior,
what we do control is the ..... - ANSWER: Environment
True or False: Behavior analysts believe that behavior is intrinsic to the organism -
ANSWER: False - we believe behavior is extrinsic to the organism
What is prediction in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: The anticipated outcome of
presently known or future measurement. It is the most elegant use of quantification
upon which validation of all scientific and technological activity rests - Pennypacker
What is experimental control? - ANSWER: A predictable change in behavior can be
reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the persons
environment
What two things make up experimental control? - ANSWER: Internal validity +
external validity
What variable is dependent in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: Behavior
What variable is independent in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: The environmental
manipulations
What variables do we have to control in order to establish experimental control? -
ANSWER: Two - independent variables and extraneous variables
What type of experimental design involves manipulating the value of the
independent variable? - ANSWER: Parametric
What type of experimental design involves manipulating the presentation or removal
of the independent variable? - ANSWER: Nonparametric
, What is verification in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: Verification of the previously
predicted level of baseline by termination or withdrawal of the
independent/treatment variable
What is replication in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: Reintroducing the treatment
variable
What is the definition of a functional relation in behavior analysis? - ANSWER: A
statement that occurs when a well-controlled experiment demonstrates that a
specific change in one event is reliably produced by specific manipulations of the
other event, and that change was unlikely due to extraneous variables
How does a functional relation differ from experimental control? - ANSWER:
Experimental control is established when an experiment proves a functional relation
between behavior and some aspect of the environment
Which attitude of science involves: the assumption that the world is a lawful and
orderly place - ANSWER: Determinism
Verification relates to ____ validity - ANSWER: Internal
Replication relates to _____ validity - ANSWER: External
Which attitude of science involves: the objective observation and measurement of
the phenomena of interest - ANSWER: Empiricism
Which attitude of science involves: controlled comparison of some measure of the
phenomena of interest under two or more different conditions. This is the BASIC
STRATEGY OF SCIENCE - ANSWER: Experimentation
Which attitude of science involves: continuously questioning the truthfulness of
what is regarded as fact. This is the GUIDING CONSCIENCE of science - ANSWER:
Philosophical doubt
Which attitude of science involves: ruling out all simple, logical explanations to be
ruled out - ANSWER: Parsimony
Which attitude of science is the requirement for believability? - ANSWER: Replication
What type of graph would be best to summarize the performance of participants or
groups under different conditions - ANSWER: Bar graphs
What type of graph would be best for looking at the cumulative number of
responses? - ANSWER: Cumulative record
