SNA, Graphs Flashcards
List the 5 types of graphs
Line, bar, scatterplot, cumulative record, semi-logarithmic
List the 7 parts of a graph
Horizontal axis, vertical axis, condition change lines, condition label, data points, data path, figure caption
List the 2 types of errors when determining experimental design
Type I Error, Type II Error
T/F: There are 5 types of graphs in ABA.
True
T/F: A line graph is also called a multiply
divide graph.
False, add subtract
T/F: A line graph is the most used graph
in ABA.
True
T/F: A line graph is based on the
cartesian plane.
True
T/F: You could use a bar graph when
you want to compare things.
True
T/F: A bar graph allows for analysis of
variability and trend.
False, does not
T/F: Skinner came up with the
cumulative record.
True
T/F: When using a cumulative record the
trend never decreases
True
T/F: A semi-logarithmic chart is used to
graph data from precision teaching.
True
T/F: In a semi-logarithmic chart the
y-axis is the axis that is scaled
logarithmically.
True
T/F: An easy way to recognize a
scatterplot would be that the data
points are connected.
False, not connected
T/F: A type II error is also called a false
negative.
True
Type II error
. #FalseNegative
Type 1 error
. #FalsePositive
Stephanie is reviewing her clients intervention on a problem behavior. Due
to measurement bias, the therapists have been inaccurately scoring
problem behavior and it looks like the behavior has decreased when it has
actually stayed the same. Stephanie determines that her intervention is
working. This is a…..
Type 1 error
Tim is feeling down. He has a runny nose, fever and congestion. Thinking
that he has the flu, he goes to the urgent care nearest his house and takes
a test. The doctor says that he is negative for the flu, but Tim really has it.
This is a….
Type 2 error
Molly is looking at her client’s graph and notices that her client’s data has
matched the changing criterion for each successive goal. Her client’s data
most likely has noticeable changes in….
Level
Nominal data such as categories or types of a variable (male, female,
class, race) are displayed using a….
Bar Graph
Which part of the graph is also known as the abscissa?
X-axis
You are a BCBA who wants to visually display the data that you have been
taking this past week and show the parents that there was a change in
their child’s behavior. Which is the best graph to use in this scenario?
Line
Tod goes to the doctor for his check up on Tuesday and to his surprise the
doctor informs him he is pregnant. Given that Tod is a male, what type of
error did this doctor make?
Type 1 error
Casey, who is 8 months pregnant with her baby girl, goes to her check-up
appointment and her doctor tells her she is not pregnant, when in fact a
blood test says that she is. What type of error did her doctor make?
Type 2 error
Skinner wants to keep track of his client’s number of responses per
observation period. Which graph would be best suited for this purpose?
Cumulative Record
Selma is trying to determine what times her client’s target behavior occurs
the most. She uses a graph where the data points are unconnected. What
graph is Selma using?
Scatterplot
Jeannie wants to display data for her clients that are not related to each
other. She is not interested in showing trends or level. What graph would
best be suited for Jeannie?
Bar
Anthony wants to make a graph so that the stakeholders have enough
information to determine the IV and DV and explain any symbols that
might be used in the graph. This information is found in what part of the
graph?
Figure Caption
Casey and Liat are looking to show how their teaching methods are
affecting the fluency of correct responding after class. They want to see
how many questions each student can answer per minute. What type of
chart would best convey this information?
Semi-Logarithmic Chart
