EAB 4798 Study Guide Final Exam Questions AndCorrect Answers
Which is a strategy for promoting variability? - ANSWER Creating variability in
responding by manipulating independent variables.
Variation in features of responding within a single response class as well as variations in
the summary measures of that class is called: - ANSWER Behavioral variability.
An experiment that compares two different groups of subjects, one of which
experiences the independent variable and the other of which does not experience the
independent variable is a ______ design: - ANSWER Between-groups.
What does it imply methodologically to assume that behavioral variability is extrinsic? -
ANSWER That the experimenter must focus throughout the study on specific features of
the relations between behavior of the individual and the environment.
What is the problem for the study of behavior with using data from groups of subjects
who are exposed to either the control or experimental condition alone? - ANSWER It
leads to data that mixes behavioral variability with intersubject variability.
The term ______ refers to the ways in which researchers structure comparisons
between control and experimental conditions so as to allow inferences about any effects
independent variables may have on responding: - ANSWER Experimental design.
The sole source of variability whose effect is deliberate is that of the: - ANSWER
Independent variable's.

Cyclic physiological processes, developmental processes, and environmental effects on

, A(n) ______ is an effect of participant's behavior resulting from exposure to a prior

Kasia has trouble sitting still in class, so her teacher implements a program in which she

medication is an example of: - ANSWER An extraneous variable.

the investigator should assume these fluctuations must be the result of _______. -
ANSWER Extraneous variables.
If a researcher is measuring the duration of a target behavior and achieves a steady
state of responding, then they can conclude what about the frequency of that target
behavior? - ANSWER They cannot make any conclusions about the frequency of the
target behavior.
Which of the following is a measure of variability defined by the highest and lowest
values in a data set? - ANSWER Range
Data that are in a ______ state is shown in the figure below. - ANSWER Transitory state.
A pattern of responding of change from one steady state to a different steady state is
called what? - ANSWER A transition state.
A steady state of responding suggests that extraneous influences are minimal and
______. - ANSWER that any transition from the initial effects of the condition is complete.
By giving a participant repeated exposure first to the baseline condition and then to the
intervention condition, the researcher is trying to get a graphical picture of responding
under each condition that is ______ and ______. - ANSWER complete; representative.
