A two-phase experimental design consisting of a pre-treatment baseline condition (A) followed by a treatment condition (B)
What is A-B design
100
A variable that is changed or controlled
What is independent variable
100
Combines multiple baseline, reversal, and/or alternating treatment tactics and can provide the basis for comparing the effects of 2 or more independent variables
What is component analysis

When talking with other behavior analyst it is appropriate to describe procedures in terms related to the basic principles of behavior
What is conceptually systematic
200
Any experimental design in which the researcher attempts to verify the effect of the independent variable by removing the intervention to and returning to responding in a level obtained in a previous condition
What is reversal
200
A variable being tested
What is the dependent variable
200
Experiment design to discover the differential effects of a range of values of an independent variable
What is parametric analysis

In his work, the Behavior of Organisms, this famous behavior analyst coined the term functional analysis
Who is B.F. Skinner
300
A procedure which is effective in changing behavior in one setting may be easily repeated in another
What is generalization
300
An experimental design in which two or more conditions are presented in rapidly rotating succession
What are alternating treatments
300
A particular type and sequence of conditions in study so that comparisons of the effects of the presence and absence of the independent variable can be made
What is experimental design

Looks at one piece of treatment package at a time
What is component analysis

Observable events
What is behavioral
400
An experimental design that begins with the concurrent measurement of two or more behaviors in a baseline condition, followed by the application of the treatment variable to one of the behaviors while baseline conditions remain in effect for the other behaviors
What is multiple baseline

In applied behavior analysis this represents some measure of a socially significant behavior

A level of behavior observed in an earlier phase cannot be reproduced even through the experimental conditions are the same was they were during the earlier phase
What is irreversibility

James engages in hand-flapping behavior. Every time he flaps his hands his teachers physically redirect his hands down. The physical redirection is an example of what type of variable?
What is an independent variable
500
The independent variable is either present or absent during a phase of the study
What is a non-parametric analysis
