Evaluate my measurements
The extent to which a study's results are generalizable to other subjects, settings, or behaviors.
What is external validity
You are tasked with observing and recording "jumping." The behavior occur throughout the day, last for about 2 seconds and do not have an obvious antecedent. The most appropriate behavioral dimension to measure this behavior is.....
What is rate
Helps you understand which parts of a treatment package were/are responsible for behavior change
What is component analysis
Compares behavior to other behavior or the same behavior, either in different conditions or subjects
What is multiple baseline design
A study in which the participant acts as their own control group; does not mean there is only a single participant
Single-subject design
Repeated measurement of an event that yields the same - or similar - results.
What is reliability
Measuring how many times did a client attempt a behavior before achieving a set performance level it is an example of
What is trials to criterion
A type of analysis used to compare two different types of treatments, such as a multielement/alternating treatment design
What is a comparative analysis
Usually an Sd is associated with each treatment condition to signal with treatment condition is not in effect
What is alternating treatment design
History can be a threat to this type of validity
What is internal
Measurements are directly relevant to what you want to know, that is, measuring the thing you really want to measure
What is validity
Frequency, duration, rate, latency, IRT are all examples of this type of measurement
What is direct measures
Analysis of the effects of different values of the IV
What is parametric analysis
Staggers the implementation of intervention
What is multiple baseline
Some advantages of this design is that it does not require withdrawal and quickly compares the relative effectiveness of treatments.
What is alternating treatment design
The extent to which an analysis assures the measured changes in behavior are due to the manipulation and not due to uncontrolled extraneous variables
What is internal validity
A behavior that happens intermittently with an low overall occurrence should be measured using
What is frequency
Imagine a graph (bc you have to pay for the feature)....
You're looking at manipulations of the rate of praise being delivered.
8/min average rate of 10 responses
4/min average rate of 8 responses
2/min average rate of 2 responses
What is parametric analysis
Once target behavior reaches a set rate or level, it is changed by a predetermined amount
What is changing criterion design
Baseline logic looks at three dimensions of single-case design. These are
What is prediction, verification, and replication
This means that what you've measured to be "true" is the same (or close) to what is actually true.
What is accuracy
AN OBM analyst targets this when tasked with decreasing the time period between when employees "clock in" and when he begin work.
What is latency
Juliette has used an exclusionary time out to reduce problem behaviors in her classroom. The results of this procedure are inconsistent. She decides to investigate whether the time outs given by her are more or less effective than time outs occur and their effects. Juliette is conducting a
What is component analysis
Used to describe experiments in which an effective treatment is sequentially or partially removed
What is reversal design
A pattern of responding that exhibits very little variation in its measured dimensional quantities over a period of time; provides basis for baseline logic
What is steady state responding
