13
Q

equal interval line

A
  • each point represents a relationship between two dimensions,
  • most commonly used,
  • evaluates treatment effectiveness
14
Q

vertical axis

A

represents target behavior/dependent variable

15
Q

variability

A

changes within phases

15
Q

Changes in an intervention should be denoted by a __, while changes in the parameters of an intervention should be denoted by a __.

A

Phase change line (solid line); Condition change line (dotted line).


16
Q

Graph type?

A

Equal-Interval line graph

17
Q

interpreting graphs

A

did a significant change in one of the dimensions of the target behavior occur between one phase/condition and the next?

was the change due to manipulation? how certain are we?

17
Q

“the overal direction taken by the data path”

19
Q

the value on the vertical axis scale around which a set of behavioral measures converge (mean or median).

21
cumulative record
developed by skinner; primary means of data collection and analysis in EAB labs
22
Graphic display used to summarize and compare groups of data. The values on! the horizontal (x) axis are discrete.
bar graph
23
used to compare sets of data which are not related to one another by a common underlying dimension by which the horizontal axis can be scaled. That is the data are discrete.
bar graph (histogram)
25
“A device that automatically draws cumulative records (graphs) that show the rate of response in real time; each time a response is emitted, a pen moves upward across paper that continuously moves at a constant speed.”
cumulative recorder
26
Graphic display used to compare changes in behavior across phases and/or conditions. The vertical (y) axis consists of an add-subtract scale.
equal-interval line graph
27
Visual Analysis
evaluation of an experimental manipulation
28
Graphic display used to compare changes in rate over time (celeration). The vertical (y) axis consists of a multiply divide scale.
semi-logarithmic graph
29
types of graphic displays
* bar graph (histogram) * cumulative record * equal-interval line graph * semi-logarithmic graph
31
“The evaluation of an experimental or clinical manipulation via visual inspection of graphed data.”
Visual analysis (criterion by inspection)
32
trend
directionality of data points; best fit line
33
In equal-interval line graphs and semi- logarithmic graphs, the passage of time is represented in the \_\_\_, while the values of behavior are represented in the \_\_\_.
Horizontal (x) axis; Vertical (y) axis!
35
graph
visual format for displaying data; major tool for communicating ABA results
36
Graph type? ![]()
cummulative record
37
a type of graph "based on a caresian plane... Any point within the plane represents a specific relation between the two dimensions described by the intersecting lines. it is the most common for displaying data in ABA
equal-interval line graph
39
Graphic display in which data are graphed cumulatively. The slope of the line indicates rate of responding.
cumulative record
40
Ways of displaying data
* Embedded in a text * Displayed in a table (in summary form). * Graphed (charted)
41
graph type? ![]()
Semi-Logarithmic Graph
42
"the extent to which measure of behavior under the same environmental conditions diverge from one another"
variability
