Guide to Analyze an ABA Graph
Analyzing an ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) graphic display of behavior, such as a line graph or bar chart, is essential to determine the effectiveness of an intervention and to monitor behavioral progress over time. ABA graphs typically include baseline and intervention data, and they provide a visual way to examine trends, variability, and changes in behavior.
Here’s a guide on how to analyze an ABA graphic display of behavior:
1. Evaluate the Baseline Phase
The baseline phase (before the intervention) serves as a reference for the behavior prior to any treatment. Analyze the following:
· Level: The average rate, intensity, or frequency of the behavior during the baseline.
· Trend: Is the behavior increasing, decreasing, or stable over time?
· Increasing Trend: Behavior is escalating before the intervention.
· Decreasing Trend: Behavior is decreasing before the intervention.
· Flat/Stable Trend: No significant change in behavior over time.
· Variability: How much do the data points fluctuate? High variability might indicate unstable behavior, while low variability shows consistent patterns.
2. Examine the Intervention Phase
After the intervention is introduced, compare the behavior to the baseline. Consider:
· Change in Level: Look for an immediate shift in the level of behavior after the intervention begins.
· Significant Change: A noticeable drop or increase suggests the intervention had an immediate effect.
· Gradual Change: A delayed effect might indicate the intervention takes time to impact behavior.
· Trend in Intervention: Assess the direction of the behavior during the intervention:
· Improving Trend: Behavior is moving in the desired direction (e.g., decreasing aggression).
· Worsening Trend: Behavior is moving in the opposite direction, suggesting the intervention is ineffective.
· Stable Trend: Behavior stays at the same level without significant change.
· Variability in Intervention: Compare how stable the behavior is during the intervention phase. Consistency may indicate the intervention is working, while variability may require adjustments.
3. Compare Phases (Baseline vs. Intervention)
· Immediate Change: Does the behavior change immediately after the intervention starts? This suggests a strong, direct effect.
· Magnitude of Change: How large is the change in behavior between phases? Significant changes suggest a more effective intervention.
· Latency of Change: How quickly does the behavior start to change after the intervention is introduced?
· Short Latency: Immediate change after intervention introduction.
· Long Latency: Delayed behavior change, indicating the intervention may need time to take effect.
4. Look for Overlapping Data Points
· Baseline and Intervention Overlap: If data points from the baseline and intervention phases overlap significantly, it may indicate that the intervention is not effective, or there is insufficient control of external factors.
· Minimal or no overlap between baseline and intervention data shows clearer results and stronger intervention effects.
5. Look at Data Slope
· Positive Slope: If the line connecting data points slopes upward during the intervention, the behavior is increasing.
· Negative Slope: If the slope is downward, the behavior is decreasing.
· A steeper slope suggests a more rapid change in behavior, while a flatter slope suggests a slower change.
6. Assess Consistency Across Phases
· If the same pattern of behavior change occurs across multiple phases (e.g., in a multiple baseline or across settings or behaviors), this consistency strengthens the conclusion that the intervention is responsible for the behavior change.
8. Analyze the Impact of Additional Variables
· Confounding Variables: Consider external factors that might have affected the behavior during the intervention (e.g., changes in medication, environmental changes).
9. Use Visual Analysis to Guide Decision-Making
Visual analysis in ABA is crucial for making decisions about whether to continue, modify, or discontinue interventions. Here’s what to look for:
· Effective Intervention: If the behavior decreases (or increases, depending on the goal) after the intervention, you can conclude the treatment is effective.
· Ineffective Intervention: If there is no significant change between baseline and intervention, consider adjusting the intervention or adding additional supports.
· Partial Effectiveness: If there is some change, but it’s not consistent or large, you may need to fine-tune the intervention.
Key Concepts for Analysis
1. Level: The mean value or average of the data within a phase.
2. Trend: The overall direction of the data within a phase (increasing, decreasing, or flat).
3. Variability: The fluctuation of the data points around the trend line.
4. Overlap: The extent to which data points from different phases overlap (less overlap usually indicates a stronger intervention effect).
5. Latency: The time it takes for a change in behavior to occur after the intervention is introduced.
Summary
To effectively analyze an ABA graphic display of behavior:
· Evaluate the baseline for stability and trends.
· Examine the intervention phase for changes in level, trend, and variability.
· Compare baseline and intervention to see if the intervention produced significant and meaningful changes in the behavior.
· Look for patterns across phases and assess whether the intervention has a clear, reliable impact on behavior change.
· Make informed decisions about whether to continue, modify, or discontinue the intervention based on the visual analysis of the graph.
This process allows you to make data-driven decisions in ABA therapy and ensures that interventions are achieving their intended goals.

Assignment 1:  Hypothesis Testing
You have collected a random sample of 250 freshmen students on their final GPA in the spring of 2022. The descriptive statistics are shown in the following table:

Sample size

Mean GPA

Stand. Deviation

250

3.69

0.55

The university’s GPA of freshmen students is 3.15.
You have hypothesized that the mean GPA of your sample is greater than the university’s GPA. 
1. Run a test of your hypothesis at 5% level of significance. Follow all the steps of hypothesis Testing (10 points).
2. Write the conclusion. (5 points). 

Assignment 2:  Hypothesis Testing
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) reports that the prevalence of hypertension (high blood pressure) among older adults is 60% (0.60). A study was conducted in Kentucky to assess the prevalence of hypertension. The prevalence of hypertension among older adults are shown in the table below:

Total number of adults in the sample

Number of adults with hypertension

690

448

Conduct a test of hypothesis at 5% significance level to show whether the prevalence of hypertension among the older adults in Kentucky is greater or less to the NIH findings. ( Note: The alternative hypothesis (H1: μ0 ≠ 0.60).  It may be greater (>) or less (

(Eds.). (2006). Handbook on the economics of sport.Edward Elgar Publishing) 

Grunig and Hunt argued that at its purest, lobbying means providing sufficient data to a legislature so that all the facts can be known before a vote is cast. But is it that simple? Some third-party political actors have shown a willingness to use their resources to win arguments against policymakers in the public sphere, thereby shaping public policy to suit private interests.Does lobbying help or hinder the democratic process in Australia?
