Which of the following are advantages to using visual analysis?
Visual analysis identifies interventions with sizable effects and clinical significance.
Visual analysis is easy and requires no computations.
The data reviewed are raw data.
Visual analysis is a conservative way of making judgments about data.
Visual analysis identifies interventions with sizable effects and clinical significance.
The data reviewed are raw data.
Visual analysis is a conservative way of making judgments about data.
Which of the following questions should be asked and answered during the visual analysis process?
Does a cause-effect relationship appear to be present between the independent variable and the dependent variable?
Is the cause-effect relationship demonstrated of sufficient size to be of interest to the client or consumer?
Is there a change in the rate of the behavior?
Is there a significant correlational relationship?
Does a cause-effect relationship appear to be present between the independent variable and the dependent variable?
Is the cause-effect relationship demonstrated of sufficient size to be of interest to the client or consumer?
Which of the following factors would make it difficult to draw conclusions when analyzing data?
significant trending
amount of variability and overlapping of data
analysis of apparently treatment effects
replication, or lack thereof, of baseline and treatment conditions
all of the above
List the 9 primary/recommended features of behavior analytic graphs.
[Hint: write each answer out exactly as it is listed in Figure 2.10.4 on page 185 in your textbook.]
Answer 1:tick marks have labels
Answer 2:tick marks point outward
Answer 3:vertical dashed lines separate conditions; data points not connected across conditions
Answer 4:condition labels are descriptive, centered and placed above the data
Answer 5:title in full caps
Answer 6:x and y axis are labeled
Answer 7:zero is slightly above the x-axis
Answer 8:with more than one data path each is labeled
Answer 9:participant name in lower right corner
What is the most important thing to remember when creating a graph to display data?
Make sure all the data you collected throughout the study is on one graph.
Make sure the graph presents a clear, uncluttered picture.
Make the task of the reader as easy as possible.
Make sure the graph demonstrates a large effect of the independent variable on the dependent variable.
Make sure the graph presents a clear, uncluttered picture.
Make the task of the reader as easy as possible.
