Question 1

An A-B-A-B design:&#10;A)is a research design&#10;B)demonstrates a functional relationship&#10;C)involves replication&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

An A-B-A-B design is a research design that involves a baseline phase (A), an intervention phase (B), a return to baseline phase (A), and a reintroduction of the intervention phase (B). This design is often used to demonstrate a functional relationship between the intervention and the behavior being measured. It also involves replication, as the intervention is introduced multiple times throughout the study. Therefore, the correct answer is D, all of these.

Question 2

In a ______________ design,baseline and treatment conditions (or two treatment conditions)are conducted in rapid succession and compared with each other.&#10;A)multiple baseline&#10;B)alternating treatments&#10;C)changing criterion&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

The described design is the alternating treatments design, which involves rapid alternation between two conditions (baseline and treatment, or two different types of treatment) and comparison of their effects. This design is distinct from the multiple baseline design and changing criterion design, which have different features and purposes. Therefore, the best choice is B.

Question 3

In a __________________ design,the same behavior of the same subject is being recorded in baseline and treatment phases in two or more different settings,and treatment is staggered across the settings.

A)multiple baseline across settings
B)multiple baseline across behaviors
C)multiple settings
D)A-B-A-B

A

Accepted Answer

This design involves recording the same behavior of the same subject in baseline and treatment phases in multiple different settings, with staggered treatment across those settings. It allows for the evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment across different situations and settings, while controlling for individual differences in the behavior or subject.

Question 4

The _________ is a visual representation of the occurrence of behavior over time.&#10;A)statistical analysis&#10;B)graph&#10;C)chart&#10;D)table

Accepted Answer

A graph is specifically designed to show visual representation of data over time or any other variable. Statistical analysis, charts, and tables can also present data, but they are not as effective in displaying changes over time as a graph.

Question 5

When a researcher shows that a behavior modification procedure causes a behavior to change,the researcher is demonstrating a(n):&#10;A)statistical analysis&#10;B)experimental design&#10;C)correlation&#10;D)functional relationship

Accepted Answer

A functional relationship is when a researcher demonstrates that a behavior modification procedure causes a behavior to change. This is different from statistical analysis, which is the process of analyzing data, experimental design, which is how the study is set up, and correlation, which is the relationship between two variables.

Question 6

In which research design is treatment staggered over time?&#10;A)A-B-A-B&#10;B)alternating treatments&#10;C)changing criterion&#10;D)multiple baseline

Accepted Answer

In the multiple baseline design, treatment is staggered over time, where the intervention is applied to different participants, settings, or behaviors at different times. A-B-A-B design involves repeatedly introducing and withdrawing the treatment, alternated treatments involve presenting two or more treatments multiple times in alternating sequence, and changing criterion involves changing the target behavior criterion gradually.

Question 7

An A-B design:&#10;A)demonstrates a functional relationship&#10;B)does not demonstrate a functional relationship&#10;C)is a research design&#10;D)is used to compare two treatments

Accepted Answer

An A-B design does not demonstrate a functional relationship because it does not control for other variables that could be influencing the outcome.

Question 8

A multiple-baseline design may be used:&#10;A)when you are interested in the same target behavior exhibited by multiple subjects&#10;B)when you are measuring a subject's behavior across two or more settings&#10;C)when you have targeted more than one behavior of the same subject&#10;D)all of these

Accepted Answer

A multiple-baseline design can be used for all of these situations. It allows for the measurement of the same behavior across different subjects, settings, or behaviors while controlling for extraneous variables. This type of design provides strong evidence for the effectiveness of an intervention by demonstrating a functional relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable.

Question 9

In the typical behavior modification graph,______ and ______ are the two variables illustrated in the graph.&#10;A)distance and time&#10;B)behavior and location&#10;C)behavior and time&#10;D)time and distance

Accepted Answer

The typical behavior modification graph shows the relationship between behavior (what is being measured or changed) and time (when the behavior occurs or is observed). Therefore, the correct answer is C. The other options (A and D) are not relevant to behavior modification and the option B does not specify the variable being measured or changed.
