Graph Analysis (Maffei-Almodofar et al.) Flashcards
It is important for behavior analysts to graph data for the following reasons:
to make accurate
________-based decisions
to avoid inaccurate decisions
to avoid wasting ______ time
to avoid slow skill ______
data
instructional
acquisition
What types of data-based decisions might a teacher have to make?
(Select all that apply)
Three descending data points indicate a problem with instruction and a change is needed.
Three data points at the criterion indicate the student has met the criterion and change is needed.
Three data points at the criterion indicate the student has met the criterion and change is not needed.
Three data points with no trend indicates that a phase change or new tactic is needed.

Three data points with no trend indicates that a phase change or new tactic is needed.
In the Keohane and Greer 2005 article, referenced by the authors, how did teachers justify phase changes in their interventions?
X with scientific rationale like, “The students need more time to learn the material.”
with scientific rationale like, “There was no trend and the data were variable.”
with subjective rationale, like “The students can learn if we give them ample instruction.”
with subjective rationale like, “These students just don’t want to learn this subject.”
“There was no trend and the data were variable.”
What do the authors state as the aim of the current study?
to evaluate the effects of a behavioral skills training (BST) package on training home-based ABA teachers to implement data-based decision rules accurately during Discrete Trial Training
Each of the following behaviors were ___variables within the current study:
-percentage of error teaching sessions on a given graph
-percentage of correct data-based decisions during graph analysis
dependent
Which of the following examples might have been included in correct decision making?
(Select all that apply)
A phase change was inserted where a program should have continued according to the rules.
A check mark was inserted where a program should have continued, according to the rules.
A phase change was inserted where a program should have been changed, according to the rules.
A check mark was inserted where a program should have been changed, according to the rules.
A check mark was inserted where a program should have continued, according to the rules.
A phase change was inserted where a program should have been changed, according to the rules.
The following are all components that might have been included in the ______:
(Hint: three words; watch the ending on the first one!)
instructions
modeling and rehearsing
feedback
behavioral skills traning
Importance, helpfulness, efficiency, and efficacy ratings were all included to measure ____
in the current study.
(Hint: two words)
social validity
Which of the following results were an effect of Behavioral Skills Training?
(Select all that apply)
reduced error teaching sessions
reduced accuracy in teaching sessions
inconsistent improvement for data-based decisions
systematic improvement for data-based decisions
reduced error teaching sessions
systematic improvement for data-based decisions
Which of the following limitations do the authors state as possible limitations to the current study?
(Select all that apply)
The experimenter did not train teachers to identify specific instructional tactics to change.
All participants were Master’s level and therefore not representative of most home-based ABA providers.
Participants did not plot their students’ data during training.
There were inconsistent total training times across participants.
all of the above
