|ALREADY GRADED A+||BRAND NEW!!
Which of the following refers to the increase in the frequency of a behavior in the presence of a
stimulus that is similar to the conditioned reinforcer due to a history of differential
reinforcement - ANSWER-Stimulus Generalization
What is the term used to describe a specific sequence of discrete responses, each associated
with a particular stimulus condition, where each response serves as an antecedent for the next
one - ANSWER-Behavior Chain
Which of the 7 Dimensions of ABA can be defined as "a believable demonstration that events
controlled by the researcher account for the presence or absence of the behavior in question" -
ANSWER-Analytic
Which phase is present in all single subject research designs, no matter the type - ANSWER-
Treatment
In single subject research design notation, what does the letter 'A' typically represent -
ANSWER-The baseline or initial condition
What does the single vertical line in single subject research design notation represent -
ANSWER-A phase change in the study

What is the purpose of graphing data in single subject research design - ANSWER-To visually
depict changes and trends in the dependent variable over time
Which axis of the graph typically represents the time in a single subject research design -
ANSWER-X axis
How can a single subject research design graph be used for data analysis - ANSWER-For visual
inspection of the trend, level, and variability of the dependent variable
Most published graphs in ABA make good models for best practices in graphing - ANSWER-False
Which of the following statements is true? - ANSWER-When one variable is causing another the
two variables will be correlated
What is prediction in single subject design research - ANSWER-It refers to making a hypothesis
or educated guess about how a certain intervention or change in conditions will affect a specific
behavior or outcome
What is verification in single subject design research - ANSWER-It involves collecting empirical
evidence to determine whether the predicted change in behavior or outcome actually occurred
as expected
What is replication in single subject design research - ANSWER-It involves reproducing a study
or experiment with similar conditions and procedures to validate the reliability and
generalizability of the findings
Which of the following scenarios demonstrates prediction in a single subject research design -
ANSWER-A researcher measures a student's reading fluency before and after implementing a
reading intervention and predicts that the intervention will lead to an increase in fluency

, EDF 6437 Final Exam
Which of the following scenarios demonstrates replication in a single subject research design -
ANSWER-A researcher implements an intervention to reduce disruptive behavior in multiple
classrooms and finds consistent decreases in disruptive behavior across all classrooms
What is the purpose of parametric analysis in single subject research design? - ANSWER-To
determine how much of an intervention is necessary for meaningful change
What does component analysis involve in single subject research design - ANSWER-Identifying
the specific components of an intervention that are effective in producing the desired outcomes
Which of the following is a threat to internal validity? - ANSWER-Confounding variables
How can reliability be assessed in single subject research design - ANSWER-Through methods
such as interobserver agreement and test retest reliability
A research article will typically have four main sections - ANSWER-Introduction (what and why),
Methods (how), Results (what was found), Discussion (why it's important)
In this section of a research article you can find out who the participants were in the study, what
kind of information was collected, what variables were manipulated or tested, what design was
used to orchestrate the study, and what data was collected in addition to the main variables to
insure that the study is valid and reliable. - ANSWER-Methods (how)
This section of a research article is where all the information collected, using the previously
described method, is reported. - ANSWER-Results (what was found)
This is where the author summarizes the finding for the reader and is allowed to make educated
interpretations of the findings - ANSWER-Discussion (why it's important)

systematic intentional inquiry involving collection, analysis, and interpretation of data -
ANSWER-Empirical research
What is the purpose of single subject research design - ANSWER-To determine the cause and
effect relationship between a specific intervention and behavior as an individual
What is a dependent, variable in single subject, research, design - ANSWER-The behavior being
measured and affected by the intervention
What is a functional relationship in a single subject research design - ANSWER-The
demonstrated causal connection between the intervention and the change in behavior
What is a baseline phase in single subject? - ANSWER-The period of time during which no
intervention is applied, serving as a comparison for evaluating the effects of the intervention
What is the advantage of single subject research design - ANSWER-It enables assessment of the
effectiveness of an intervention at the individual level
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in assessing the effectiveness of a token economy
system on increasing on-task behavior for a student in a classroom. What type of single subject
research design would be most appropriate for this study - ANSWER-ABA Reversal Design
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in comparing the effectiveness of two different
reinforcement schedules (FR and VR) on increasing the frequency of a target behavior. What
type of single subject research design would be most appropriate for this study? - ANSWER-
Alternating Treatment Designs
Scenario: A behavior analyst is interested in evaluating the effectiveness of a self monitoring
intervention on reducing a specific problem behavior for three boys who display similar
