In the Regression Model Y_i = β₀ + β₁X_i

question 45

Multiple Choice

In the regression model Y_i = β₀ + β₁X_i + β₂D_i + β₃(X_i × D_i) + u_i, where X is a continuous variable and D is a binary variable, β₃

• A)indicates the slope of the regression when D=1.
• B)has a standard error that is not normally distributed even in large samples since D is not a normally distributed variable.
• C)indicates the difference in the slopes of the two regressions.
• D)has no meaning since (X_i × D_i)= 0 when D_i = 0.

Multiply Controlled Behaviors

Behaviors influenced by more than one environmental factor or contingency, making them complex and sometimes challenging to modify.

Antecedents

Events or conditions that precede and influence behavior, often studied in behavioral psychology to understand causal relationships.

Functional Analysis

A set of procedures used in FBA to analyze contextual variables, primarily focusing on consequences to reduce students’ problem behaviors. It is also used to describe the second stage of FBA, testing hypotheses.

Functional Assessment

A detailed investigation into the factors contributing to problematic behaviors, leading to targeted interventions for improvement.
