PASS Question :Threats to internal validity include:
Correct answer:Testing, maturation, procedural infidelity
Question :Match the definition. 2A. Events that occur during
the experiment but that are not related to planned procedural changes that may influence the outcome
Correct answer:History
Question :2B. Changes in behavior due to the passage of time
Correct answer:Maturation
Question :2C. Occurs when participants need to respond to
the same test repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition, which influences responding
Correct answer:Testing
Question :Threats related to the measurement system, and are
of concern because of repeated measurement by human observers who may make errors
Correct answer:Data instability
Question :Inconsistent implementation of the experimental
condition
Correct answer:Procedural infidelity
Question :The loss of participants during a study, which
limits the generality of findings
Correct answer:Attrition
Question :Occurs when a participant's behavior is influenced
by more than one planned intervention during the course of a study
Correct answer:Multiple treatment interference
Question :A type of data instability that refers to a repeated
and predictable pattern in the data series over time
Correct answer:Cyclical variability
Question :Carryover Effects
Correct answer:-Refers for an effect of being tested in one
state on participants' behavior in later situations
May occur in a within-subject trial when the effect of a particular level of the self-independent variable persists even after the treatment finishes
Question :The hypothesis that states that there is no
significant difference between samples is:
Correct answer:The Null Hypothesis
Question :Amanda is an RBT at an ABA clinic. She is
working with her client, Jerrell, to decrease aggressive behaviors (i.e., biting others). She has collected data for the frequency of Jerrell's bites for three weeks. Calculate the mean, median, and mode of the following data set (round to
the nearest whole number):
Week 1: 12, 11, 10, 22, 22
Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 21, 17
Week 3: 16, 7, 9, 3, 0
Correct answer:Mean= 12, Median=11, Mode=7,22
Question :Dr. Jones wanted to know if the use of the Good
Behavior Game decreased rates of disruptive behaviors in an elementary school. Dr. Jones collected data throughout the duration of the school year across two elementary schools. In school A, all k-6 classrooms used the Good Behavior Game.In School B, no classrooms used the Good Behavior Game.At the end of the school year, Dr. Jones concluded that the Good Behavior Game had no impact on student disruptive
behavior, when in fact it had. This is an example of:
Correct answer:A Type 2 Error
Question :The primary purpose of the method section is to:
Correct answer:Detail the plan of study being proposed.
allows the readers to evaluate and judge the study's validity and reliability
Question :Which fo the following is true about single case
research design?
Correct answer:Most studies include one participant
Question :These data show which of the following:
Correct answer:A change in variability
Question :Which of the following is a limitation of using
statistical significance to differentiate between meaningful and trivial change?
Correct answer:All of the above
Question :Which of the following is a limitation of group
design?
Correct answer:All of the above
Question :Dr. Lestremau is employed in a large urban school
district with 10 elementary schools. She wants to evaluate the effects and feasibility of peer-mediated, school-based, discrete trial training for teaching multiplication skills to six students with autism spectrum disorder. She will collect on-
