5 types of ABA graphs
Equal-interval Graphs - Answer AKA Arithmetic Charts, Add-Subtract Charts. Graphs in
which the distance between any 2 consecutive points on both the X-axis & Y-axis is
always the same. All intervals are the same size. Line graphs, Bar Graphs, Cumulative
Records, and Scatter Plots.
Non-equal interval graphs - Answer Logarithmic scales. Including semi-logarithmic
scales (standard celeration chart). Look at behavior change through proportionate or
relative change.
Line graphs - Answer AKA Frequency Polygons. Most common graphs in ABA. Based
on cartesian plane. Use when you want data to effectively communicate that the data
can be scaled along some dimension such a time or order of responses in a sequence.
Cartesian plane - Answer 2 dimensional area formed by 2 perpendicular lines that
interject.
7 parts of a line graph - Answer Horizontal axis (X-axis or Abscissa), Vertical axis (Y-
axis or Ordinate), Condition change lines, Condition labels, Data points, Data path, and
Figure caption
Line graph variations - Answer 2 or more dimensions of the same behavior, 2 or more
different behaviors, measure of the same behavior under different conditions, and same
behavior of 2 or more participants
Bar graphs - Answer AKA Histograms. Based on the cartesian plane. No distinct data
points representing successive response measures through time. Use when displaying
separate sets of data that are not related to one another and summarizing performance
within a condition or a group of individuals.
Cumulative records - Answer Developed by Skinner to record data in EAB during 1957.
Used device called Cumulative Recorder that displays cumulative data. Enables subject
to draw their own graph. Keep adding on responses during each observation period to
the total number of all previously recorded responses.
2 types of cumulative record - Answer Overall response rate & Local response rate
Overall response rate cumulative record - Answer An average rate of response over a
given time period, such as during a specific session or phase in a study.
Local response rate cumulative record - Answer Rate of response during periods of time
smaller than that for which an overall response rate has been given.
