The cause for this treatment’s popularity in this scenario is most likely due to which of the following factors?

[FinA] Muna is a behavior analyst who feels that supervisees perform best when they are given informal feedback because it is less confrontational. She often makes comments to her supervisees such as “Good work” or “Work on this more” to let them know where they are doing well or need to improve. She only provides informal feedback and does not track the effects. Which ethics standard is Muna violating?

[FinA] Malik has recently moved states and is starting a new job as a behavior analyst at a clinic providing ABA services.

[FINA] Katrina wants to determine if her client learns more quickly using visual or textual prompts. She rapidly alternates back and forth between prompt types, and the data show that her client learns at relatively similar speeds for each type of prompt. Text prompts are easier to create on the spot than visual prompts, so Katrina decides to use text prompts because both are relatively equal at teaching her client. When she uses the text prompts in isolation; however, she finds that her client is no longer responsive to the text prompts. The results of these data are most likely being impacted by which confound?
