Graph Basics
What type of graph is most commonly used in ABA to display behavior change over time?
What is line graph?
What is the process of examining a graph to determine whether behavior is changing?
What is visual analysis?
If a behavior increases across sessions, what type of trend is this?
What is increasing trend?
What is the vertical line on a graph that shows when an intervention begins?
What is phase change line?
What does the X-axis of a graph typically represent?
What is time or sessions?
What term describes the overall direction of the data on a graph?
What is trend?
If problem behavior decreases across sessions, what type of trend is this?
What is decreasing trend?
What graph error occurs when the axes are not labeled?
What is missing axis labels?
What does the Y-axis represent on a behavior graph?
What is the measurement of behavior (frequency, duration, percentage, etc.)?
What term describes the average value of behavior within a phase?
What is level?
If behavior stays around the same level across sessions, what type of trend is this?
What is stable trend?
What graph error occurs when the scale is uneven or misleading?
What is incorrect or inconsistent scale?
What do the points connected by lines on a graph represent?
What is behavior data collected during each session?
What term describes how much the data points move up and down on a graph?
What is variability?
Why are trends important in ABA?
What is they help predict future behavior and evaluate whether an intervention is working?
What is the most important responsibility of an RBT when it comes to graph data?
What is collect accurate data?
