EAB 4798 FIU FINAL EXAM QUESTIONS AND
100% CORRECT ANSWERS
In considering behavioural variability, the finest detail can be obtained by:
Group of answer choices
summing responding occurring during each session into a single value
comparing simultaneous but independent observations from two or more observers
examining the distribution of individual responses over time during an observation
period
totaling measures of responding over individual sessions - ANSWER examining the
distribution of individual responses over time during an observation period
Variation in features of responding within a single response class as well as variations in
the summary measures of that class is referred to as:
Bobby cannot sit still in the classroom, and a behavior consultant develops a clinical
program with a teacher in which she provides praise to Bobby for staying in his seat.
Bobby's sitting behavior increases and the teacher calls the behavior consultant to
conclude that her praise caused the change. The teacher doesn't realize Bobby has
,begun taking a medication that makes him fatigued. In this example the medication is
serving as:
Group of answer choices
the response class
an extraneous variable
the dependent variable
the independent variable - ANSWER an extraneous variable
In most general terms, ______ is the subject matter of all sciences.
Group of answer choices
variability
inquiry
knowledge
creativity - ANSWER variability
What is the problem for the study of behavior with using data from groups of subjects
who are exposed to either the control or experimental condition alone?
Group of answer choices
There is a greater risk of having sequence effects change responding
,It results in data that confounds behavioral variability with intersubject variability
There is nothing wrong with using this type of experimental design
It enhances the possibility that the group behaves in ways that the researcher did not
anticipate - ANSWER
It results in data that confounds behavioral variability with intersubject variability
A ______ is an effect of a participant's behavior resulting from exposure to a prior
condition.
Group of answer choices
episode
response product
sequence effect
reversal effect - ANSWER sequence effect
Researchers and practitioners study behavioral variability using all of the following
methods, except:
Group of answer choices
analyzing the distribution of individual responses across time and over many stimulus
conditions
averaging the responding that has occurred during a session into a single value
, summarizing measures of responding across individual sessions
comparing simultaneous but independent observations from two or more observers -
ANSWER comparing simultaneous but independent observations from two or more
observers
________ variability refers to the differences in responding between participants.
Group of answer choices
Intraparticipant
Outerparticipant
Intersubject
Intrasubject - ANSWER Intersubject
What are three kinds of biological influences on variability in behavior?
Group of answer choices
Developmental processes, intelligence, and environmental effects on body functions
Cyclic physiological processes, developmental processes, and environmental effects on
body functions
Environmental effects on body functions, cyclic physiological processes, and
intelligence
Intelligence, cyclic physiological processes, and developmental processes - ANSWER
Cyclic physiological processes, developmental processes, and environmental effects on
body functions
The traditional assumption is that variability is ______ to the nature of organisms.
Group of answer choices
internal
