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: 22, 31, 20, 32, 32

Week 2: 7, 8, 13, 31, 17

Week 3: 16, 5, 9, 12, 15 - ANSWER-Mean = 18, median =16, Mode =31,32

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 shouted, "Eureka!The Good Behavior Game works," when in fact it had no impact on student

disruptive behavior. This is an example of: - ANSWER-A type II error

According to Carr and Briggs (2010) practitioners of applied behavior analysis should base their professional activities on the research literature. One barrier is the cost of journal subscriptions. A solution suggested by Carr and Briggs (2010) includes: - ANSWER-Reading articles in journals, such as, the journal of Behavior assessment and intervention in children, which provide articles for free.

Which of the following is the correct format for a parenthetical citation with 4

authors for the first parenthetical citation in text: - ANSWER-(Dieringer,

Wilczynski, Cullen, & McIntosh, 2017)

Threats to internal validity include - ANSWER-Testing, maturation, procedural infidelity

Events that occur during the experiment but that are not related to planned procedural changes that may influence the outcomes. - ANSWER-History

Changes in behavior due to the passage of time - ANSWER-Maturation

Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test repeatedly during a baseline or probe condition, whcih influences responding - ANSWER-Testing

Threats related to the measurement system, and are of concern because of repeated measurement by human observers who may make errors - ANSWER- Instrumentation

Inconsistent implementation of the experimental condition - ANSWER-Procedural infidelity

The loss of participant's behavior is influenced by more than one planned intervention during the course of a study - ANSWER-Multiple treatment interference

A type of data instability that refers to a repeated and predictable pattern in the data series over time - ANSWER-cyclical variability

• / 3

The hypothesis that states that there is no significant difference between samples

is: - ANSWER-The null hypothesis

The primary purpose of the method section is to: - ANSWER-Both A and B

Detail the plan of study being proposed.Provide a sufficiently detailed description of the study so a trained researcher can implement the study as intended with no additional guidance.

Which of the following is true about single-case research design? - ANSWER- Most studies include more than one participant

These graphs demonstrate which of the following - ANSWER-inter-subject replication with a multiple baseline design across behaviors

These data show (q10) - ANSWER-A change in variability

Which of the following is a limitation of using statistical significance to differentiate between meaningful and trivial change? - ANSWER-The rejection of the null hypothesis is more decisive in larger sample sizes.Large enough sample sizes will always show a significant difference between populations Statistical analysis may fail to reject the null hypothesis in small sample sizes

Which of the following is a limitation of group design? - ANSWER-The rejection of the null hypothesis is more decisive in larger samples
