[U1Q] Which of the following is a response definition that is objective?

[U6Q] What can we conclude from the data presented in the following graph?

[U5Q] A BCBA is working to decrease a client’s property destruction during planned activity times at the center in which activities like arts and crafts and playing games with peers occur. After gathering baseline data, the BCBA rapidly alternates between a DRO procedure and an overcorrection procedure. After analyzing the graphed data and seeing a decrease in the frequency of property destruction, the BCBA removes the overcorrection intervention and implements the DRO procedure in isolation for several sessions in a row. The levels of property destruction increase while the DRO procedure is the only intervention being implemented. The results of these data are most likely being impacted by which confound?

[U1Q] Sukra wants to obtain a general equivalency diploma. A BCBA has arranged materials to teach Sukra various 11th-grade math and reading concepts. The BCBA has also arranged to target skills such as finding angles of triangles and calculating the area of a geometric figure. Given this scenario, which of the following is an intermediate outcome?

[U6Q] What do the data in this graph indicate? 

  [U6Q] What can we conclude from the data in this graph?

[U1Q] Ariana’s dad reports that Ariana is hitting and kicking during bathtime. Angela, a behavior analyst, visits the home one time for a 2-hour observation of the behavior, during which she collects data on hitting and kicking and then graphs it. Angela then trains Ariana’s dad on the behavior plan, which includes putting fun toys in the bathtub for Ariana and rewarding her with coloring time after she has completed her bath. Which basic operation of the science of behavior analysis is missing from this example?

[U6Q] Karen, a BCBA, is reviewing the data collected on an intervention that she put in place to increase the accuracy of discrete trial training implementation during sessions by staff. She determines that the accuracy of intervention has remained stable between 80%–95% since the start of the intervention phase. What type of analysis is Karen conducting? 

[U6Q] Wilhelmina, a BCBA who works in a group home, introduces a feedback system to improve her staff’s performance when teaching life skills to residents. She looks at the baseline- and the intervention-phase data to determine if the changes are in the direction she intends, and whether there are significant changes in performance levels. Which type of analysis is Wilhelmina conducting?

[U6Q] Sebastian, a BCBA, is investigating the effects of two language acquisition interventions. He compares the rates of acquisition between the first and the second intervention. Which type of analysis is Sebastian conducting?
