Questions and 100% Verified Correct Answers
Guaranteed A+
______________ means that a level of behavior observed in an earlier phase cannot be
reproduced even though experimental conditions return to preintervention conditions. -
CORRECT ANSWER: irreversibility
_________________ behavior is a fundamental aspect of the single-case research
process. - CORRECT ANSWER: quantifying
___________________ replication refers to a component of a previous study being
altered in order to determine if the change has an effect on the behavior analyzed. -
CORRECT ANSWER: systematic
___________________ replication refers to the repetition of an experimental
manipulation either within or between participants. - CORRECT ANSWER: direct
_____________________involves a clear experimental question, a plan for measuring
and recording the variables, analysis of the results, and critical peer review. -
CORRECT ANSWER: experimentation
8 threats to internal validity - CORRECT ANSWER: history, maturation, testing,
instrumentation, diffusion, regression, selection bias, attrition
a component analysis does what? - CORRECT ANSWER: withdraws (or adds)
components of an intervention
a functional relation is the relationship between what? - CORRECT ANSWER: a
treatment and behavior
,a good definition is - CORRECT ANSWER: observable and measurable, has consensus
among multiple people, don't use terms that are teaching problems
a parametric analysis evaluates what? - CORRECT ANSWER: sustainability of the IV
a research paper should provide what type of questions? - CORRECT ANSWER: open
ended questions
a standard celeration chart can produce what type of measurement? - CORRECT
ANSWER: celeration
ABAB design - CORRECT 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
According to Skinner, many experimenters have answered profound questions they did
not specifically ask, due to what practice? - CORRECT ANSWER: The experimenters
willingness to follow the data
All of the following are limitations of the multiple baseline design except - CORRECT
ANSWER: the behavior under study must be within the subject's repertoire already
alternating treatments design - CORRECT ANSWER:
alternating treatments design - CORRECT ANSWER: the comparison design. can
compare multiple things. alternate different treatments randomly. use different symbols.
level is primary analytic tactic
, analytic - CORRECT ANSWER: Using data to make informed decisions. The
practitioner is able to show that whenever he/she applies a certain variable, the
behavior is produced, and whenever he/she removes this variable, the behavior is lost
applied - CORRECT ANSWER: A behavior change is applied when it enhances and
improves the everyday life of a learner, and those who are closest to a learner (e.g.,
parents, siblings, peers), by improving a socially significant behavior
attrition - CORRECT ANSWER: loss of subjects over time. not common in ABA because
participants serve as their own control
bar graph - CORRECT ANSWER: comparisons
baseline logic - CORRECT ANSWER: experimental reasoning for SCD. if we do nothing
the DV will continue in the same pattern
baseline logic suggests what? - CORRECT ANSWER: if an intervention is not
introduced behavior will occur in a predictable pattern
behavioral - CORRECT ANSWER: the behavior chosen must also be observable and
measurable
changing criterion design - CORRECT ANSWER:
changing criterion design - CORRECT ANSWER: a criteria is established. behavior
should occur at or close to that criterion. when behavior reaches level criterion changes.
used for problem behavior or skill building such as # of cigarettes consumed or minutes
