C11 Interpret Graphed Data Part 1 Flashcards
By convention, time on ABA line graphs is plotted on the
X-axis
A time series graph of your behavior
Illustrates the story of what happened and how your behavior changed
Given appropriate permissions, a way to see if people who go to FIT has a higher passing rate for the BCBA Exam would be to
Reviewing the rates of SIB shown on the two graphs below, you see that
There is insufficient information for a comparison
By convention in ABA, the dependent variable on line graphs is plotted on the
Y-axis
Given appropriate permissions, a way for the BACB to see if people who practice the CBA Learning Module Series to fluency get higher scores on the BCBA Exam would be to
All the above:
Plot people BCBA score on the Y-axis and their corresponding percent LMS fluency on the x-axis of a graph. (and vice versa)
Calculate the correlation coefficient of the percent LMS fluency to the BCBA scores for a group.
What type of graph is this?
Semi-log (increasing but some dips)
What type of graph is this?
Equal-interval (Very high increase, some breaks in the trend)
The goal of designing a single-subject graph in ABA is to
Allow the data to most clearly reveal the extent to which the dependent and independent variables are related.
show how the DV follows the IV and reflect the relationship btwn the variables
To find out if you get better performance on the CBA Learning Module Series in the mornings or in the evenings, you could use an alternating treatments design and plot your correct and incorrect answer rates using
A semi-log (celeration chart) or other time series line graph
In ABA, a quantitative behavioral variable generally
Is represented by a number that changes proportionally with the dimension of behavior that is being measured.
In ABA, quantitative and qualitative measurement of behavioral variables are both discussed in that
Qualitative refers to how you know the class or identity of what you are counting while quantitative refers to how many you count in that class.
By convention, the independent variable on ABA line graphs is plotted on the
X-axis
Celeration charts, cumulative records, and other time-series graphs of behavior
May reveal underlying cyclical changes in behavior that otherwise wouldn’t be recognized as part of a pattern.
What makes the Standard Celeration Chart STANDARD?
Is its consistent display of celeration,a factor by which a frequency multiples or divides per unit of time.
On a Standard Celeration Chart, we show frequency in several ways. When you have only one pinpointed behavior, use a dot. When you chart an accuracy pair, use a dot for frequency correct, and an x for frequency error. When frequencies fall below the Record Floor, the convention is to use a question mark (“?”) to show frequency.
As you chart frequencies over time, certain trends, patterns, or periodicities will emerge. In the example above, the frequencies of correct responding are increasing – or accelerating – over time. Likewise, the frequency of error responses is decreasing – or decelerating over time. A “line of best fit” can be drawn through a set of frequencies. This line then becomes a “celeration” line. On the chart, we depict celeration with a line:
Celeration errors and correct
