BRM Midterm Prep Test Questions
With Verified Answers
Dependent Variable - ANSWER What's measured to judge
outcomes (target behavior/what needs changed)
Independent Variable - ANSWER What's manipulated or the
intervention
Disadvantage of single case design - ANSWER The
experimental trials of single-case designs are run on only one
subject, it is difficult to empirically show with the experiment's data
that the findings will generalize out to larger populations.
External Validity - ANSWER -When the outcomes can be
generalized
-Established through Replication
-Requirement that causal statements can be made based on
replications when circumstances vary
Internal Validity - ANSWER -When the design and data make it
possible to make causal or functional arguments
-Requirement of replications of treatments and outcomes so that
causal statements can be made
-Most widely accepted analysis of causation
Social Validity - ANSWER -goes a long way in determining if an
intervention is sustainable once the consultation relationship
ends.
-Requirement that consumers may have input into goals,
methods, and outcomes
2 approaches to assessment of social validity - ANSWER 1)
Consumer Ratings
2) Peer norm use
Baseline Logic - ANSWER Prediction, Verification, Replication
by affirmation of the consequent
Prediction - ANSWER Baseline
Level of behavior
Is behavior stable or changing
How variable is behavior
Verification - ANSWER -conducted in order to strength the
original prediction
-easiest way to do this is to remove intervention
Replication by Affirmation by consequent - ANSWER -conducted
to strengthen the original intervention
-easiest way to do this is to re-engage intervention
Direct Replication - ANSWER -The repetition of an experimental
manipulation either within/between participants
-Testing to see if the same effect can be produced again
Systematic Replication - ANSWER -some aspect of
experimental preparation is changed and its effects on behavior is
analyzed
Intraexperiment Replication - ANSWER Varying multiple aspects
of an experimental procedure
Interexperiment Replication - ANSWER A type of inductive
approach; replicates the effects of previous experiments and
extending them in new directions (establishing the limits of a
procedure)
Functional Relationship - ANSWER demonstrated when change
in the independent variable is reliably associated with change in
the dependent variable.
IOA - ANSWER -the degree to which two independent observers
code the same values for the target behaviors
-used to determine observer's competency and detect observer
drift
-Measuring: reliability, consistency, validity
Minimum acceptable percentage for IOA - ANSWER 80%
Ways to measure treatment adherence - ANSWER -Direct
observation with list of procedural steps
-Permanent products of intervention
-Separate intervention into meaningful steps
-Self Reportin
