Unit 5 T

Question 1

The two primary goals of the various experimental designs in applied behavior analysis are to:

Answer 1

Demonstrate functional relations between the independent variable and the dependent variable and
Evaluate interventions when implemented

Question 2

Single case designs are also known as:

Answer 2

Single subject design’s, within subject designs, intra-subject design, small number design,

NOT Single study designs

Question 3

Which of the following statements about group designs is not true:

1. Each individual is exposed to every level of the IV
2. They generally have A large number of subjects and a small number of observations.
3. They do not allow for the examination of intra-subject your ability
4. They do not allow for the examination of interest subject very ability

Answer 3

1.

Question 4

Which of the following statements is true? You may introduce a new phase when:
1. The level of a behavior targeted for reduction is high enough to allow for the detection of a behavior change across phases?

2. The range of all data points has a very ability of no greater than 50% deviation from the mean level.
3. All of these statements are true
4. the behavior is already trending in the desired direction

Answer 4

1

Question 5

Which of the following statements is true group designs compare

Answer 5

Combined data for separate groups of individuals, under different experimental conditions, to each other

Question 6

In terms of determining how much baseline data to collect, all of the following statements are true

Answer 6

As long as necessary, as short as possible

The longer the baseline, the greater the predictive power

Nothing is gained by unduly long baselines
