07. Display + Interpretation of Data

Question 1

Data

Answer 1

Medium with which the behavior analyst works, results in measurement, empirical basis for decision making

Question 2

Graphs

Answer 2

Visual format for displaying data

Question 3

3 Purposes for Graphs (CAID)

Answer 3

Communicate data
Assess data
ID/DV (shows how they are related)

Question 4

5 Types of Graphs (LBCSS)

Answer 4

Line
Bar
Cumulative Record
Scatter Plot
Standard Celeration Chart

Question 5

Equal Interval Graphs

Answer 5

Graphs in which the distance between any 2 consecutive points on both the x-axis and the y-axis is always the same (line, bar, cumulative, scatter plots)

Question 6

Line Graph

Answer 6

Most common in ABA, use when you want your data to effectively communicate data that can be scaled alone dimension (time)

Question 7

Condition Label

Answer 7

A label written at the top and parallel to the x-axis that describes the experimental conditions during each phase of research

Question 8

Data Path

Answer 8

Connects successive data points with a straight line that illustrate trend and level of a behavior

Question 9

Figure Caption

Answer 9

Concise statement that provides info to identify the independent and dependent variable

Question 10

Bar Graphs

Answer 10

Use when you want you data to effectively communicate separate sets of data that are not related to each other.

Question 11

Cumulative Record

Answer 11

Keep adding responses with each observation period, the effects of the independent variable are easy to detect on this graph

Question 12

Overall Response Rate

Answer 12

An average rule of response over a given time period (dividing the total number of responses by the number of observation periods

Question 13

Local Response Rate

Answer 13

Rate of response during periods of time smaller than that which an overall response rate has been given (select the time period you wish to collect the data from)

Question 14

Semilogarithmic Charts

Answer 14

Graphs in which one axis is scaled proportionately, all behavior changes of equal vertical distances on the vertical axis

Question 15

Standard Celeration Charts

Answer 15

Used for academic and social behaviors where students can self-monitor their performance with the goal to increase correct responses

Question 16

Scatter Plots

Answer 16

Use to discover temporal distributions of behavior and see grouping of individual data points that may help to identify elusive environmental stimuli.

Question 17

Ethical Warning: Choosing a Graph

Answer 17

Do not choose a graphing method that skews the data, choose one that has the best representation of the data.

Question 18

3 Fundamental Properties of Behavior Change (LTV)

Answer 18

Level
Trend
Variability

Question 19

Mean Level Line

Answer 19

Horizontal line drawn through the data points on the vertical axis equaling the average of mean value of the data.

Question 20

Median Level Line

Answer 20

Horizontal line drawn through the data points on the vertical axis that shows the most typical performance within a condition

Question 21

6 Steps to Split Middle Line of Progress (CDMMQS)

Answer 21

Count
Divide 
Mid: Mid Rate
Mid: Mid Date 
Quarter: Quarterly-intersect line of progress 
Split: Split middle line of progress
