Q

T/F: Internal validity measures the
extent to which an experiment
demonstrates that the change in
behavior is a direct result of the
dependent variable and not a result
of the uncontrolled variables.

Q

T/F: A measurement can be reliable but
not valid or accurate.

A

True

21
Q

T/F: If measurement is not valid it can
still be accurate.

A

True

22
Q

This asks the question of
whether the method of
measurement being used
measures what it is supposed
to measure

A

Validity

23
Q

. #TrueValue

A

Accuracy

24
Q

This refers to repeated contact
and getting the same

A

Reliability

25
Q

This allows the measurement of
the behavior after it has
occurred by measuring the
eects the behavior produced
on the environment

A

Permanent Product

26
Q

This is the degree to which a
study’s results are
generalizable to other settings,
subjects and behaviors

A

External Validity

27
Q

This refers to the extent to
which an experiment shows the
changes in behavior are a
direct result of the independent
variable and not the result of
uncontrolled variables.

A

Internal Validity

28
Q

This refers to the extent to
which an experiment shows the
changes in behavior are a
direct result of the independent
variable and not the result of
uncontrolled variables.

A

Interobserver Agreement (IOA)

29
Q

This type of IOA is useful when
behaviors occur at high rates.

A

Unscored Interval IOA

30
Q

This is a timing-based method
for calculating IOA.

A

Total Duration IOA

31
Q

This is the strictest type of
event recording IOA.

A

Exact Count Per Interval IOA

32
Q

This is the simplest method for
calculating IOA using event
recording data

A

Total Count IOA

33
Q

This type of IOA uses the
intervals in which one or both
of the observers scored that a
behavior has occurred.

A

Scored Interval IOA

34
Q

D.C. Young Fly uses an IG engagement measurement that is valid and
reliable but not accurate. We can say that the data he gets is…

A

always wrong

35
Q

Meg the Stallion is studying for her next degree. Her and her bestie take
data on the number of questions she gets correct per minute. Her bestie
says that they need IOA, but the type of IOA she suggests makes Meg
laugh because she thinks it’s totally useless. Which method did her friend
recommend?

A

Total count IOA

36
Q

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are counting the number of kicks that their baby
performs in her belly. They decide to jot down the frequency across 30
minutes. Which type of IOA are they most likely to use?

A

Exact count

37
Q

Maria wants clear skin. She tries the Fenty skin care line and is loving the
results. She is a bit skeptical about the results solely because of Fenty due
to personal health, changing her sheets, or the new laser treatment she
started. What types of variables are Maria considering?

A

Confound

38
Q

Lucy and Ethel are two RBT’s that are collecting trial by trial IOA data
during DTT instruction. There were 20 trials that they took data on, and
out of the 20 trials they agreed 18 times. What would be the IOA for this
scenario equal? (Your answer should be in a percentage)

A

90%

39
Q

Robert weighs himself on his bathroom scale. It shows that he weighs 156
pounds. However, at his doctor’s oce the scale shows that he weighs 175
pounds. Is Robert’s home scale an accurate measurement?

A

No, because doctor’s scale is considered #true value

40
Q

A runner completes a mile and the time recorded on their stopwatch is
7:40. However, using a more accurate instrument, a Garmin GPS tracker, the
true value is recorded at 7:55. This shows that the measurement is lacking?

A

Accuracy

41
Q

Jennifer and Thomas are using scored-interval IOA to record the
occurrence of behavior during 10 intervals. Jennifer records the
occurrence of behavior for 8 of those intervals while Thomas records the
occurrence of behavior for 6 of those intervals. For 6 of the intervals, both
observers agreed the behavior occurred. What is the scored-interval IOA? (
Your answer should be in a percentage)

A

75%

42
Q

Casey asks Liat to measure the length of time it takes her to teach the
collective. Liat states that 102 people attended the collective that night.
Liat’s measurement is missing which type of trustworthy measurement?

A

Validity

43
Q

What does IOA measure?

A

The degree to which 2 or more independent observers report the same
observed values after measuring the same event

44
Q

Henry and Danielle are gathering information for IOA. Henry is measuring
the biting behavior of the client while Danielle is measuring the hitting behavior of the client. Are Henry and Danielle meeting the requirements to
obtain valid IOA measurements? Why or why not?

A

No, because they are not measuring the same target behavior

45
Q

Forrest states that he has smoked 16 cigarettes but his wife states that he
has smoked 24. What is the total count IOA?

A

67%

46
Q

Morticia states that Fester howled for 24 minutes during the previous
night during breakfast. Gomez states that Fester howled for 30 minutes the
previous night. Calculate the total duration IOA. (Your answer should be in
a percentage)

A

80%

47
Q

Matthew wants his son to come home and put the dishes away, make his
bed, and wipe o the table. He does not have time to watch his son
perform these tasks. Which is the best method for Matthew to measure his
son’s behavior?

A

Permanent Product
