Interviews are an example of _____________________assessment. - ANSWER-indirect
Anecdotal observation is when the observer records a descriptive, _____________________ sequenced account of all behaviors of interest. - ANSWER-temporally
_____________________has been achieved when an organism's repertoire has been changed to maximize reinforcers and minimize punishers. - ANSWER-habilitation
_____________________ are the based on the Cartesian plane, a two-dimensional area formed by the intersection of two perpendicular lines and uses on data points. - ANSWER-Line graph
A line graph should have a scale of _____________________ between the y-axis and the x-axis. - ANSWER-2-3
Each data point on a _____________________ represents the total number of responses emitted by the subject since measurement began. - ANSWER-cumulative
The Standard Celeration Chart is a multiply/divide graph that enables the standardized charting of celeration, a linear measure of _____________________ change over time, a factor by which frequency multiples and divides per unit of time. - ANSWER-frequency
A _____________________ shows the relative distribution of individual measure in a data set with respect to the variables depicted by the x and y axes. - ANSWER-scatter plot
An essential structure to the line graph is that the _____________________ axis is clearly labeled with a quantitative measure and the _____________________ axis is labeled with a time unit. - ANSWER-vertical, horizontal
According to Johnston and Pennypacker (2009), graphs have one fundamental purpose: to affect the_____________________behavior of the graph reader. - ANSWER-interpretive behavior
Even though it is still prevalent in the field, you should refrain from using "sessions" as a label on the horizontal access and instead be sure that you use a unit of_____________________. - ANSWER-time
The bar graph shares most of the line graph's features except it does not have distinct _____________________ points representing successive response measures through time. - ANSWER-data
Condition change lines should be placed to the _____________________of the data point representing the last measure prior to the change in conditions. - ANSWER-right
An _____________________ must be accomplished to determine if and how a given behavior functions in relation to specific changes in the environment. - ANSWER-experimental analysis
Uncontrolled variables known or suspected to exert an influence on the dependent variable are called_____________________. - ANSWER-confounding variables
_____________________ is when changes in the dependent variable are related to manipulations of the independent variable. - ANSWER-Experimental design
