EAB4798 - Final Exam Questions And100% Correct Answers
Behavioral variability - ANSWER Variations in features of responding within a single
response class, as well as variations in summary measures of that class
Intrinsic variability - ANSWER The assumption is that variability in behavior is in one way
or another inherent or built into the nature of organisms.
Extrinsic variability - ANSWER The assumption of variability in behavior being
describable, explainable, and predictable in terms of variation in other phenomena,
whether biological or environmental.
Experimental design - ANSWER Arrangement of control and treatment conditions that
permit comparisons that help to identify the effects of the independent variable on the
dependent variable.
Within-subject design-ANSWER A method of arranging comparisons between control
and experimental conditions in which each subject is exposed to both control and
experimental conditions in sequence so that the data represent the performance of
individual participants.
Between-subjects design - ANSWER A procedure for ordering comparisons between
control and experimental conditions in which different groups of participants are
exposed to control and experimental conditions so that the data reflect the aggregated
performance of individual participants who have experienced only one of the conditions.
Intersubject variability - ANSWER Differences in responding between participants.
Sequence effect An effect of a participant's behavior that results from exposure to a
,prior condition
Steady state strategy An approach to making experimental comparisons that involves
measuring responding for each participant repeatedly under each condition in an effort
to assess and manage extraneous influences and thereby obtain a stable pattern of
responding that represents the full effects of each condition.
steady-state - ANSWER A pattern of responding that exhibits relatively little variation in
its measured dimensional quantities over some period of time
trend - ANSWER A relatively consistent change in the data in a single direction.
range - ANSWER A measure of variability defined by the highest and lowest values in a
data set.
cycle - ANSWER A repeating pattern of local variation, often containing sequences of
improvement and deterioration (in either order).
transition state - ANSWER A pattern of responding containing change from one steady
state to a different steady state.
transitory state - ANSWER A pattern of responding containing a deviation from a steady
state that ends in a return to the same steady state
Control or baseline condition - ANSWER A condition or phase of an experiment in which
the independent variable is not present
Experimental, treatment, intervention, or independent variable condition - ANSWER A
condition or phase in which the independent variable is present.
Independent variable - ANSWER Those environmental events that the investigator
manipulates in order to determine their effects on the dependent variable
, dependent variable - ANSWER In behavioral research, usually a response class, at least
one-dimensional quantity of which is measured throughout all phases of a study.
functional relation - ANSWER An experimentally determined relation that shows that the
dependent variable depends on or is a function of the independent variable and nothing
else.
experimental control - ANSWER The manipulation or control of various variables
involved in the experiment, such as independent and extraneous variables
treatment integrity - ANSWER The degree to which the independent variable has been
consistently given in the way designed
replication - ANSWER Repeating of any aspects of an experiment
reproduction - ANSWER Replication of findings, often as a result of repetition of
procedures.
within-session replication - ANSWER Replication of a basic element of a procedure
throughout each session.
within-phase replication - ANSWER The repetition of the same condition many times in
succession throughout a phase.
within-experiment replication - ANSWER Replication of an entire phase during the
course of an experiment
within-literature replication - ANSWER A replication of an earlier experiment-usually by
other researchers.
across-literature-research-replication - ANSWER Replication of phenomena under
