Relationships
Graphic displays of behavioral data are considered simple formats for visually displaying ________ among and between a series of measurements and relevant variables. A. Time series B. Arrangements C. Relationships D. Peaks
Connected with a straight line
In order to produce a visual representation of an overall rate on a cumulative graph, the first and last data points of a given series of observations should be: A. Plotted bilaterally B. Plotted using different symbols C. Drawn simultaneously D. Connected with a straight line
Proportional
Logarithmic scales are an appropriate graphing format when _______ change is of particular interest. A. Cumulative B. Rate C. Rapid D. Proportional
Temporal
Scatterplots are useful when applied behavior analysts are interested in finding out the ________ distribution of the target behavior. In other words, a scatterplot illustrates whether the behavior's occurrence is typically associated with certain time periods. A. Temporal B. Amount of C. Standard D. Simple
Slope
The _______ of each data path on a cumulative record represents the different rates of acquisition. A. Position B. Slope C. Scatter D. Slant
Line Graph
This is the most commonly used graph in applied behavior analysis. A. Line graph B. Scatterplot C. Cumulative Record D. Bar graph
Figure Caption
This part of a line graph is printed below the graph and gives a concise but complete description of the figure. A. Figure caption B. Data set C. Scale break D. Condition label
Bar Graph
This type of graph is also known as a histogram and is useful in summarizing behavioral data allowing for a quick comparison of performance across participants and/or conditions. A. Line graph B. Scatterplot C. Cumulative Record D. Bar graph

Cumulative Record
You are interested in beginning a self-management program to help you save money for a new car. Which type of graph would provide the most appropriate feedback and display your progress toward your goal? A. Cumulative record B. Line graph C. Bar graph D. Scatterplot
Line Graph
You are interested in comparing the effects of two different interventions on a single target behavior. You have decided to present each of the interventions in an alternating fashion and measure the changes in the value of your dependent variable. You would like to plot the results of both interventions on one graph. Which would be the best format to display your results? A. Cumulative record B. Line graph C. Bar graph D. Scatterplot
Bar Graph
You are interested in displaying the mean score for both your baseline and experimental condition. For this summary, you are willing to sacrifice the presentation and detection of variability and trends. A. Line graph B. Scatterplot C. Cumulative Record D. Bar graph
Cumulative Record
You are interested in the total number of sight words accurately read since your data collection began last week. Which graphing convention allows you to most efficiently answer your inquiry? A. Line graph B. Scatterplot C. Cumulative Record D. Bar graph
