[U7Q] Tyrus is examining a research article and wants to quickly determine the experimental design that was used in the study and whether the intervention was effective. Which part of the research article is the best place for Tyrus to find this information?

[U7Q] Maria is interested in running research on the use of public posting and self-monitoring in professional swimmers. Maria has conducted a general review of relevant research articles to determine what has already been studied in the area. Now she needs to find specific ideas for new research within this topic that has not been studied yet. Which part of the research article is the best place for Maria to look for this information? 

[U7Q] Which of the following is an example of a behavior analyst engaging in ABA practice? 

[U7Q] Moana is a BCBA who is working with a client to increase their reading fluency. She wants to determine which of the two protocols she pulled from the literature would be the most effective for increasing her learner’s reading fluency. She takes baseline data until stability and then implements that first protocol. After reaching stability with the first protocol, she does a return to baseline and then implements the second protocol. After several replications of both protocols, she then analyzes the data to determine which protocol led to higher reading fluency for her learner. Moana is adhering to which characteristic of the scientist-practitioner model?

[U7Q] Which of the following is an example of a behavior analyst conducting ABA research? 

[U7Q] Krister finds an article and identifies that the participants and target behavior in the article are similar to that of his client. He studies the graphs in the article and is pleased with the findings. Now he wants to replicate this study with his client and to create a program with teaching steps. Which part of the research article is the best place for Krister to find the information he needs?

[U7Q] Patricia is a BCBA-D who runs a large ABA agency and supervises several behavior analysts. One of her BCBAs comes to her with several questions about a new case involving a child with a rare genetic syndrome.  Patricia wants to review the literature regarding current potential interventions. Patricia knows her time is currently fully committed to her many managerial duties within the agency. Given this, what is Patricia’s best course of action to overcome the issue of response effort when contacting the literature?
