1
Q

data

A

the medium with which bX analysts work

2
Q

graphs

A

relatively simple formats for visually displaying relationships among and between a series of measurements and relevant variables

3
Q

bar graph

A

histogram

simple and versatile format for graphically summarizing BX data

4
Q

cumulative record

A

was developed by skinner as the primary means of data collection in EAB (graph)

5
Q

cumulative recorder

A

device that enables a subject to actually draw its own graph

6
Q

overall response rate

A

the haverage rate of response over a given time period or condition of an experiment

7
Q

local response rate

A

refers to the rate of response during periods of time smaller than that for which an overall rate has been given

8
Q

semilogarithmic chart

A

graphs in which one axis is scaled porportionally

9
Q

standard celeration chart

A

provides a standarized means of charting and analyzing how frequency of BX changes over time

10
Q

scatter plot

A

a graphic display that shows the relative distribution of individual measures in a data set

11
Q

variablility

A

how often and the extent to which multiple measures of BX yield different outcomes

12
Q

level

A

the value on the vertical axis scale around which a set of behavioral measures converge

13
Q

trend

A

overall direction taken by a data path

14
Q

split-middle line of progress

A

a method of calculating a drawing lines of progress that is more reliable than the freehand method adn much less time consuming

15
Q

data path

A

represents the level and trend of BX between successive data points

16
Q

line graph

A

most common graph format for displaying data in ABA

17
Q

visual analysis

A

a system approach for interpreting the results of behavioral/research and treatment programs

visual inspection of graphed data for variability, level and trend
