SPCE 630 Final Exam prep Questions and
Answers | Latest Update
visual analysis of graphed data


✓ is the cornerstone of and most frequently used data analysis method in

SCD research, particularly for determining whether a study demonstrates

experimental control.

✓ involves systematic procedures used to evaluate specific characteristics of

data patterns and evaluate the presence of a functional relation.




advantages of visual analysis


✓ -can be used to evaluate data of individuals or small groups depending on

the unit of analysis specified in the r esearch question.

✓ -data are collected repeatedly, graphed as they are collected, and

analyzed frequently

✓ -focuses on analysis of individual data patterns

✓ -discovery of potentially interesting findings that may not be directly

related to the original research question or program objective.

✓ -graphic presentation of data permits independent analysis and

interpretation of results




formative visual analysis

✓ conducted within and across conditions to identify behavior change

during the course of a study.




behavior change


✓ occurs when data patterns in one condition are different from data

patterns in the subsequent, adjacent condition for the same variable(s).




summative visual analysis


✓ conducted following study completion, across multiple opportuniti es to

demonstrate behavior change to determine whether a functional relation

exists between the independent variable and the dependent variable.




adjacent conditions


✓ in SCD research, data patterns are examined within and across adjacent

conditions; when data in one condition differ from what is predicted

based on the preceding condition, behavior change is demonstrated.




formative analysis is conducted in two steps


✓ 1. within and across adjacent condition analyses

2. systematic examination of specific data characteristics

within condition visual analyses


✓ are conducted to discern patterns within a single condition during a

study. within condition visual analyses of level, trend, and

variability/stability are critical for determining when to change conditions,

deciding whether adaptations need to be made, and providing information

related to answering research questions.

beginning with the initial condition, typically baseline, you should look for stability of data

across a minimum of at least three to five sessions prior to changing conditions.




condition change criteria


✓ should be made a priori based on hypothesized data patterns. these

criteria will guide both formative and summative decisions about

experimental control.




level


✓ refers to the amount of behavior that occurs, as indicated by the

ordinate scale value. the characteristic of highest interest for behavior

change, and is generally described as low, moderate, or high.




trend

✓ the slope and direction of a data series or the direct ion data are moving

over time. three characteristics can be described: trend directions, trend

magnitude, and trend stability.




trend direction


✓ referred to as accelerating, decelerating, or zero celebrating. trend can

further be characterized by magnitude, and is often described as steep or

gradual and paired with direction. also describe whether the direction of

a trend is improving (therapeu tic) or deteriorating (contra-therapeutic).




contra therapeutic trend


✓ represents a common data pattern in SCD data that might occur within a

condition and particularly prior to the introduction of the independent

variable. this refers to trends that ar e in the opposite direction of the

hypothesized direction of improvement and can establish need for the

intervention.




variability


✓ fluctuation from one data point to the next and is the opposite of

stability; in data with no trend, this can be summariz ed as the range of

data values within a condition or as the percentage of data points falling

within a given stability envelope
