BRM Final Exam Study Guide Complete Questions And Answers 2023 independent variable - Correct Answer-The experimental factor that is manipulated; the variable whose effect is being studied. intervention dependent variable - Correct Answer-The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. target behavior single case designs - Correct Answer-experimental control, participant serves as their own control, variables are measured repeatedly and defined operationally, independent variable is manipulated actively Advantages: tests conceptual theories, validates intervention effectiveness, focuses on the individual, demonstrates generalization, cost-effective and reliable group design - Correct Answer-typically produces correlational results, experimental and control groups, treatment results are generalized rather than specific, fidelity data is typically not collected Disadvatages: cost, participant selection, ethical considerations, individual lost in group comparison internal validity - Correct Answer-the degree to which the independent variable is responsible for the change in the dependent variable external validity - Correct Answer-degree to which the results are generalizable to other participants, settings, behaviors, conditions social validity - Correct Answer-The goals, procedures, and results of an intervention are socially acceptable to the client, the behavior analyst, and society prediction - Correct Answer-anticipated outcome of a future measurement that is currently unknown, looking at baseline, what will the data path look like if the intervention were not introduced? Verification - Correct Answer-return to baseline to demonstrate that the previous baseline level would have remained unchanged if the intervention had not been introduced Replication - Correct Answer-reintroducing the intervention to see if similar outcomes will be achieved, reduces the likelihood of confounding or extraneous variables being responsible for the change in behavior, demonstrates the reliability of the change in behavior functional relations - Correct Answer-relationship between the independent and dependent variable ex: using functional communication training to increase the student asking for help to open the door total count IOA - Correct Answer-smaller of two observers' counts / larger of counts x 100 Exact Count IOA - Correct Answer-# of intervals with 100% IOA/total # of intervals x 100 Mean Count IOA - Correct Answer-sum of all interval IOAs/total # of IOA intervals x100 trail by trail IOA - Correct Answer-# of events w/agreement/total # of intervals x 100 total duration IOA - Correct Answer-shorter duration/ larger duration x 100 mean duration-per-occurrence IOA - Correct Answer-sum of all duration IOAs/total # of duration IOAs x 100 interval-by-interval IOA - Correct Answer-intervals agreed/(intervals agreed + intervals disagreed) x 100 scored-interval IOA - Correct Answer-# of intervals both observers recorded occurrence/# of intervals either observer recorded the occurrence x 100 unscored-interval IOA - Correct Answer-= (number of intervals of agreement on non- occurrence) / (intervals in which either or both observers recorded non-occurrence) * 100% operational definition - Correct Answer-Characteristics of operational definitions: Objective: only observable events Clear: observers can easily read and understand the definitions used Complete: inclusion of examples and non-examples of behavior Technological: allows others to replicate assessment Measurable: ability to be assessed and quantified target behavior - Correct Answer-is the behavior identified and selected to change through intervention Function based is based on their environment effects Topography based is focused on the shape or form of the behavior Event Recording - Correct Answer-methods to record the number of times a response occurs Uses count and rate
