17
Q

One behavior occurs a couple times a day and another behavior occurs hundreds of times per day. You want to display both behaviors on the same graph without using a scale break. Use a/an…

A. Bar graph

B. Equal interval graph

C. Standard Celeration Chart

D. Histogram

A

C

You could graph behaviors that occur one time per day to 1000 per minute on a Standard Celeration Chart. If you used an equal interval graph, the ordinate (y axis) could not detect any meaningful changes in the low frequency behavior (without using a scale break).

18
Q

To graph the number of aggressive instances per day, use a/an…

A. Standard Celeration Chart

B. Line graph

C. Equal interval graph

D. All of the above

A

D

Line graph includes the others listed.

19
Q

The scale of the vertical axis should be guided by the…

A. Social significance of the change

B. Social validity of the dependent measure

C. Statistical significance of the change

D. All of the above

A

20
Q

For successive measurements of a behavior across time, use a

A. Pie chart

B. Line graph

C. Histogram

D. Bar graph

B

21
Q

A behavior occurs several hundred times per day and then later only a few times per day. To best analyze the variability at both the high and low rates, use a

A. Equal interval graph

B. Cumulative record

C. Standard Celeration Chart

D. All of the above

A

C

The Standard Celeration Chart best accommodates an analysis of variability at very high and very low rates

22

A. 0 to 100%, with no scale breaks

B. 0 to 100%, with a scale break at 10%

C. 50 to 100%, with a scale break at 75%

D. 0 to 90%, with no scale breaks

Q

Separate minor modifications to experimental conditions with a…

A. Solid vertical line

B. Unique vertical line between each condition

C. Broken vertical line

D. Text description only

A

C

Separate experimental conditions with a solid vertical line. Minor modifications to a condition are represented with a dashed line

27
