SOLVED

11-41) In conducting a graphic analysis, researchers often consider, 1) average change; 2) initial change; 3) slope change; and 4) a. texture change. b. numerical change. c. latency of change. d. percentage change. 11-42) If, in a graphic analysis, researchers are concerned with how quickly an intervention produces a change in behavior, they are considering the __________ characteristic. a. average change b. initial change c. slope change d. latency of change. 11-43) Muriel is conducting a graphic analysis of some intrasubject data and she notes that the subject’s behavior was very inconsistent during the baseline phase of the study. This interpretation problem can be characterized as a. a decreasing baseline trend. b. an increasing baseline trend. c. excessive variability. d. slope change. 11-44) Whenever it is the case that a subject’s behavior exhibits an increasing/decreasing trend or excessive variability during the baseline phase, researchers should consider delaying the start of the intervention and a. collecting additional baseline data. b. terminating the study. c. opting for a traditional experimental approach. d. carrying out an inferential analysis that can weed out the additional variability. 11-45) If the results of an intrasubject study turn out to be ambiguous, researchers may opt to a. collect additional data to help clarify the results. b. collect additional data from more subjects, if possible. c. conduct an inferential test such as the single-subject ANOVA. d. all of the above 11-46) Manuel is conducting an intrasubject study and he wants to evaluate to what degree the change in behavior will carry over to other situations and settings. Based on this description, it appears that Manuel is concerned about the study’s a. clinical significance. b. generalization. c. cost-benefit ratio. d. statistical significance. 11-47) Jessie is concerned about the degree to which her expensive behavioral treatment might offset future complications in her patients. It appears that Jessie is concerned about the study’s a. clinical significance. b. generalization. c. cost-benefit ratio. d. statistical significance. 11-48) John is participating in an intrasubject research study and he is concerned about whether or not his behavioral intervention will produce new behaviors that will be appropriate for his day-to-day functioning. John appears to be concerned about the __________ of the study. a. cost-benefit ratio b. statistical significance c. social validity d. durability 11-49) In intrasubject research, __________ refers to the degree to which a behavioral change is meaningful in terms of the individual’s day-to-day functioning. a. clinical significance b. statistical significance c. durability d. cost-benefit ratio 11-50) The biggest difference between conducting large-N research and small-N, intrasubject research, is that the latter approach a. is easier to conduct than large-N designs. b. often does not require the use of inferential statistical analyses. c. usually does not rely on the use of graphic analysis.
