Eab 4798 Paloma Rodriguez Midterm Exam
Questions With Correct Answers.


J.B. Watson - answer✔*Psychologists should focus efforts on observable behavior


*Goal of behaviorists is prediction & control


B.F. Skinner (1930s) - answer✔*Distinguished between respondent (reflexive) behavior &

operant (or voluntary) behavior

*Cognitive & emotional processes


By 1950s & 1960s - answer✔Behavior analysts were publishing studies that examined the

effects of the application of behavioral principles -To both normally and atypically developing

individuals


Applied - answer✔*interest displayed by society in the problems being studied


*Typically, close relationship between stimuli & behavior being studied


Behavioral - answer✔*Refers to the pragmatic nature of the study


*Emphasis on:

-What person can do rather than what she/he can say

-Reliable quantifying of behavior must be achieved

-Question not only what behavior was changed during a study, but also whose behavior has

changed


Analytic - answer✔• Definition: Refers to a believable demonstration that events controlled by

the researcher account for the presence or absence of the behavior in question

• Seek to encourage "valuable" behavior

• Good technical description of procedures necessary

• Replication


Subjects - answer✔Individuals in a single subject study who are involved in changing their own

behavior (e.g., Mark)


Participants - answer✔A willing individual, who has given informed consent to the procedures in

the study, and who is actively involved and vested in the study outcomes


Independent variable - answer✔*Treatment or intervention that researcher controls in order to

influence changes in dependent variable

*Independent and dependent variables should share a functional relationship


Dependent Variable - answer✔• (or target behavior)


• Measured to determine the effects of the independent variable

• Changes in the target behavior should be dependent on changes in the independent variable (a

functional relationship)


Extraneous Variables - answer✔• (or confounding) variables


• Any elements of study that may confuse or obscure the believability that the independent

variable and dependent variable share a functional relationship


Baseline Phase - answer✔• Generally, the first phase in a study


• When initial performance on the target behavior is measured before implementation of the

intervention (independent variable)

• Ex.: Teacher collects data on accuracy in solving independent math problems


Intervention Phase - answer✔• A phase when the intervention has been introduced and data are

collected to determine effects on the target behavior (dependent variable)

• May be multiple intervention phases


Follow-up Phase - answer✔• Typically, a final phase of a study


• When the researcher continues to measure performance on the target behavior although the

independent variable may have been withdrawn following successful intervention


Notations - answer✔• The system of letters used to identify the type of design used


• Refers to a baseline phase; B and all subsequent letters to

intervention phases

• Each letter (e.g., B, C) refers to a different intervention

• Combinations (e.g., BC) refer to package, or combinations of, interventions

• Numbers may be attached (e.g., Al, Bl) to denote a first baseline phase or a first intervention

phase when there are subsequent baseline or intervention phases (e.g., A2, B2)


XY or Line Graph - answer✔• The typical line graph used to graphically depict the quantitative

data collected in single subject research

• Data are plotted at the appropriate intersects along the x‐ and y‐axes


What axis is the Dependent Variable plotted on? - answer✔• The target behavior performance is

plotted along the y‐axis

• The y‐axis must be calibrated so that changes in the dependent variable are appropriately

depicted


X-Axis - answer✔• used to depict observations across time (using tick marks to denote which

observation is being plotted along the y‐axis)


Data Paths - answer✔*Each data point that is plotted on the graph is connected by a line


*The data path line is not typically drawn across phase change lines

*Breaks in the data path indicate an interruption in the observation or measurement of the

dependent variable
