Continuous Measurement
What measure would you choose if the behavior doesn't happen that often?
Frequency, Rate, or ABC
Identify the interval recording method:
Did the behavior occur throughout the entire interval?
Whole Interval
Name a possible unwanted effect of reinforcement
It may have temporary effects
Relying on the use of contrived SR+
Confusing SR+ with bribery
An experimental design in which 2 or more conditions are presented in rapidly alternating succession independent of the level of responding.
Alternating Treatment Design / Multielement Design
Define:
Prediction
Verification
Replication
Prediction- The anticipated outcome
Verification- Demonstration that the level of responding would have stayed the same with no intervention
Replication- repeating variable manipulations and obtaining the same outcomes
The behavior happens for long periods of time and the beginning and end are observable.
Duration
Identify the interval recording method:
Did the behavior occur at least once during the interval?
Partial Interval
Name a possible unwanted effect of punishment.
1. It does not address the cause of the target bx
2. Emotional and aggression induced by punishment procedures"
3. Punishment procedures are very resource heavy
A set of stimuli that share a common relationship/function.
Stimulus Class
What is a dependent variable?
Kudos if you can provide an example!
"the variable in an experiment measured to determine if it changes as a result of manipulations of the independent variable" (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007)
The behavior is easy to count but the length of observation varies from day to day
Rate
Identify the interval recording method:
Was the individual engaging in the target behavior at the end of the interval?
Momentary Time Sampling
Define behavioral contrast.
Kudos if you can provide an example.
The phenomenon in which the rate of responding under one condition (intervention) affects the rate of responding under another condition.
An outcome or result that appears to exist because of the way it is measured, but in fact does not actually correspond to what actually occurred.
Artifact
Which experimental design involves extending phase A and beginning phase B for each individual participant one at a time?
Multiple Baseline Design
We need to know how long it takes for your client to start washing dishes after you ask him to.
Latency
Identify the interval recording method:
Most commonly used for classroom observations or with a group.
Planned Activity Check (PLACHECK)
Name a possible unwanted affect of extinction.
1. Extinction burst
2. Resurgence
3. Resistance to extinction
The change in rate of responding over time.
Celeration
What experimental design demonstrated the strongest experimental control?
ABAB
Your client takes a long time to eat, so you decide to collect data on the amount of time in between bites as he eats.
Inter-Response Time
SNEAK ATTACK!
What is it called when there is something left over in the environment that can be observed and recorded even after the behavior ends?
Permanent Product
Define resurgence
Resurgence describes the recurrence of a previously reinforced behavior following the extinction of the subsequently reinforced alternative behavior.
An uncontrolled factor, known or suspected, to exert influence on the dependent variable.
Confounding variable
Which experimental design involves systematically changing the mastery criterion to continue the increase or decrease of behavior?
Changing Criterion Design
