Question 1

On a standard ABA line graph, what does the x-axis represent?

Accepted Answer

Sessions or time sequence

Answer

The x-axis (horizontal) displays the sequential order of observations or sessions so that changes over time can be tracked.

Question 2

A cumulative record differs from a standard equal-interval line graph in that the cumulative record:

Accepted Answer

Can never decrease as behaviors are added

Answer

Each new occurrence is added to the running total, so the data path can only stay flat or rise, never fall.

Question 3

The Standard Celeration Chart (SCC) uses what type of y-axis scaling?

Accepted Answer

Ratio (logarithmic)

Answer

The SCC uses a ratio (log) y-axis so that equal vertical distances represent equal multiplication factors of behavior rate, making acceleration visible.

Question 4

In visual analysis, 'trend' within a phase refers to:

Accepted Answer

The systematic directional change in data across sessions

Answer

Trend describes whether data are systematically increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable (zero trend) within a phase.

Question 5

Which set of features is evaluated when conducting within-phase data analysis?

Accepted Answer

Level, trend, and variability

Answer

Within-phase analysis examines the central level (mean or median), the trend direction, and the degree of variability among data points.
