Foundations
The three goals of behavior analysis
What are description, prediction, and control?
Preferred design in ABA
What is single-subject design?
Number of responses
What is frequency?
Axis showing time
What is X-axis?
Confidence results are due to intervention
What is internal validity?
First phase
What is calm?
Anything an organism does
What is behavior?
Uses random assignment
What is group design?
Responses per unit of time
What is rate?
Axis showing behavior
What is Y-axis?
Ability to generalize
What is external validity?
Off-task, distracted behavior
What is agitation?
ABA focuses on this type of behavior
What is observable and measurable behavior?
Cannot determine cause and effect
What is correlational research?
Length of time behavior occurs
What is duration?
Direction of data path
What is trend?
IOA measures this
What is reliability or believability of data?
Arguing/refusal phase
What is acceleration?
Systematic process used in research
What is the scientific method?
Repeated measurement or demonstration of effect
What is repeated observation?
Time between instruction and response
What is latency?
Shift up or down between phases
What is level?
IOA formula
What is agreements ÷ (agreements + disagreements) × 100?
Severe behavior phase
What is peak?
Studying research helps behavior analysts do this
What is become more effective practitioners?
Standardizing conditions and limiting variables
What is controlled observation?
Behavior recorded if it occurs anytime in interval
What is partial interval recording?
Bounce or inconsistency in data
What is variability?
Agreement expected by random marking
What is chance agreement?
Full correct sequence
→ What is Calm → Trigger → Agitation → Acceleration → Peak → De-escalation → Recovery?
