What is the independent variable?
100
Group that conducted the National Standards Project.
What is the National Autism Center?
100
Behavior that is reinforced in Functional Communication Training.
What is an alternative communicative response?
100
A sequence of visual cues (pictures, words, or videos) that prompts independent responses.
What is an activity schedule?
200
Type of measurement in which the length of time the behavior occurs for is recorded.
What is duration?
200
Three components of the logic of single-subject design.
What are prediction, verification, and replication?
200
Instrument used by reviewers to determine the value of research articles in the NSP.
What is the Scientific Merit Rating Scale?
200
A method for determining which stimuli might be reinforcing for an individual.
What is a preference assessment?
200
Type of prompting procedure in which a student watches videos of him or herself doing something correctly.
What is video self-modeling?
300
Confidence that a measure is correct.
What is accuracy?
300
Term used to describe confidence that the independent variable is what caused changes in the dependent variable.
What is internal validity?
300
The concern that behavior change is meaningful and acceptable.
What is social validity?
300
A preference assessment method in which the individual is given an array of items to choose from, and any item that is chosen is replaced before the next choice opportunity.
What is multiple stimulus with replacement?
300
The first step in creating a video modeling plan for a student.
What is identify the target skill to be taught?
400
When two observers measure the same behavior at the same time, and then compare their results.
What is interobserver agreement?
400
Experimental design in which a treatment is given, taken away, and then given again.
What is a withdrawal or reversal design?
400
According to the NSP, describing an intervention for autism as part of this category means that the intervention has sufficient research support to recommend it.
What is Established?
400
In FCT, the response that should be harder and less likely to result in reinforcement.
What is the problem behavior or the behavior being replaced?
400
The primary purpose of using an activity schedule for a student with autism.
What is to promote independence? OR, What is to help in transitioning from one activity to another? OR, What is to increase on-task and on-schedule behavior?
500
Confidence that the measure is meaningful.
What is validity?
500
Type of research design in which comparisons are made between 2 or more treatments.
What is alternating treatments?
500
According to the NSP, autism interventions in this category should be evaluated further before recommending.
What is Emerging?
500
How to determine what the possible reinforcer for problem behavior is prior to conducting FCT.
What is Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA)?
500
Type of cue used in both video modeling and activity schedules.
What is visual?
