  1. What does a 'phase change line' on a behavior graph indicate?

    Answer: A change in the experimental condition or intervention

    Phase change lines separate different conditions (e.g., baseline vs. intervention) on a graph, allowing visual analysis of treatment effects.

  2. Which recording method would be most appropriate for measuring the duration of stereotypic rocking behavior in a student?

    Answer: Duration recording

    Duration recording measures how long a behavior lasts and is the most accurate method for continuous behaviors like rocking.

  3. A behavior consultant collects ABC (Antecedent-Behavior-Consequence) data. What is the primary purpose of this type of data?

    Answer: To identify potential functional relationships between environment and behavior

    ABC narrative data captures the context surrounding behavior, forming the basis of descriptive functional assessments.

  4. When graphing intervention data, what does an upward trend in a behavior targeted for reduction indicate?

    Answer: The behavior is worsening and the plan may need revision

    An increasing trend in a behavior targeted for decrease signals that the current intervention is not producing the desired effect and review is warranted.

  5. Which visual analysis component examines the overall direction of data points within a phase?

    Answer: Trend

    Trend refers to the systematic upward, downward, or zero-celerating direction of data within a single phase of a graph.

  6. A consultant compares the last three data points of baseline to the first three data points of the intervention phase. This analysis addresses which visual analysis feature?

    Answer: Immediacy of effect at phase change

    Examining data immediately adjacent to a phase change line assesses how quickly and dramatically behavior changed when the intervention was introduced.
