EDF 6437 Final Exam: Questions & Answers
functional relationships are in the realm of SCD T/F Correct Ans - false
a parametric analysis evaluates what? Correct Ans - sustainability of the IV
a functional relation is the relationship between what? Correct Ans - a treatment and behavior
which effect is least likely to be a threat to validity in ABA? ** Correct Ans - diffusion
which measure of behavior provides most accurate counts? Correct Ans - permanent product
what is the number 1 contributor to artifacts? Correct Ans - human error
which discontinuous measure is related to momentary time sampling, but used with groups? Correct Ans - PLACHECK
if a BCBA needs to target high rates of physical stereotypy which measure would likely be best? Correct Ans - partial interval recording
if a BCBA is interested in increasing time spent writing an essay what data collection method would be best? Correct Ans - duration
T/F the dead person's test states that anything unobservable is NOT behavior?
Correct Ans - false
which component of a research paper meets the "technological" dimensions of
ABA? Correct Ans - methods
T/F the results section includes tables and figures to provide concise analysis of data? Correct Ans - true a research paper should provide what type of questions? Correct Ans - open ended questions
when citing two authors in a manuscript you should follow which format Correct Ans - Last & Last, year e.g. Williams & Williams, 2017
T/F Disseminating ABA through conferences, or manuscripts is the responsibility of all BCBAs and students of ABA? Correct Ans - true
stretching the horizontal axis on a line graph make the data appear in which manner? Correct Ans - slow increasing trend
which of the following is not a level of scientific understanding? Correct Ans - data
which attitude of science suggests we should test our hypothesis? Correct Ans - experimentation
which measure of behavior is related to temporal extent? Correct Ans - duration
temporal locus is related to Correct Ans - latency and IRT
why do we stagger the intervention in a multiple baseline? Correct Ans - to demonstrate latency to change and determine if there is a functional relation
ABAB design Correct Ans - 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
alternating treatments design Correct Ans - changing criterion design Correct Ans - multiple probe design Correct Ans - multiple baseline design Correct Ans - variation of the AB design, can be conducted across participants, behaviors, or settings. treatment is constant regardless
generality Correct Ans - a behavioral change may be said to have generality if it proves durable over time, if it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, and/or if it spreads to a wide variety of related behaviors
effective Correct Ans - interventions are effective when they improve a
behavior in a practical matter. If the application of behavioral techniques does
not produce large enough effects for practical value, then the application has failed
maturation Correct Ans - physical changes
testing effects Correct Ans - change in behavior due to repeated exposure of the experimental arrangement
technological Correct Ans - Procedures are described clearly and concisely so that others may implement the procedures accurately.
applied Correct Ans - 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
conceptually systematic Correct Ans - Interventions are consistent with the principles demonstrated in the literature and the research
analytic Correct Ans - 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
behavioral Correct Ans - the behavior chosen must also be observable and measurable
