SPCE 630 Final Exam – Questions And Detailed
Answers
Replication Right Ans –
Critical features of a line graph include which of the following: Right Ans
- Vertical axis labeled with a quantitative measure
When constructing a line graph, a research assistant ensures that the
vertical axis length has a 2:3 ratio to the horizontal axis. The research
assistant chose to use this ratio to: Right Ans - properly display data
variability and limit distortion
A researcher is evaluating the use of a video modeling procedure. The
researcher collects data periodically for single sessions, and over a
minimum of three days immediately prior to introduction of the
independent variable. Which design is the researcher likely using? Right
Ans - Multiple probe design
A researcher plans to use a parametric design. Which of the following
question is best answered using a parametric design? Right Ans - Does
one level of the independent variable result in increase/decrease in levels
of behavior, when compared to another level of that independent variable,
for given participants
, Dr. Floress is conducting a meta-analysis of the available single case
research design studies, which have evaluated procedures to train teachers
to use praise. Dr. Floress has coded each article and determined which to
include. The next step of the meta-analysis should be Right Ans -
Extracting data
A good research question includes the following components: Right Ans
- The independent variable, the dependent variable, and the participants
A 3 year old girl with autism and intellectual disability was referred for
treatment at an ABA clinic due to concerns regarding elopement. Their
mother brought them in for the first session and the BCBA assessing them
realized that they seem to elope when asked to do a task, when they don't
get what they wants, and when they are overly stimulated. After the
functional behavior assessment, the BCBA decides to use a multicomponent
treatment package that consists of verbal instruction, DRO, and blocking to
treat reduce the child's elopement. The research question that best fits this
scenario is: Right Ans - Does a multicomponent treatment package that
consists of verbal instruction, DRO, and blocking affect elopement?
The degree to which behavior change occurs as soon as the intervention is
introduced is referred to as: Right Ans - Overlap
Split middle trend lines are most useful when: Right Ans - A researcher
is primarily interested in within condition trends
A researcher is primarily interested in between condition changes in trend
Data show moderate or high variability within conditions
Which of the following is true regarding a withdrawal design: Right Ans
- Following implementation of the intervention, the treatment is withdrawn
and there is a return to baseline conditions.
Dr. Baranek is a consultant at an ABA clinic. They would like to compare the
effect of a token economy alone to a token economy with verbal feedback
for increasing their client's compliance with adult requests. Dr. Baranek
collected baseline data on rate of compliance and plans to use a complex
phase change to evaluate the token economy alone or combined with
verbal feedback. Which of the following indicates the appropriate notation:
Right Ans - A/B/B+C/B/B+C
