Preferences about the future, what the client would like to be, to do or would prefer to happen when the intervention is completed.
What is Ultimate Goals
100
The degree to which a research instrument produces consistent results.
What is reliability
100
Be clear and define specifically what you need to measure.
Locate measurement tools: professional literature or publishing houses.
Decide on the type of measure that is most appropriate for your particular concept.
Decide how many measures you are using for the sameconcept.
What is Steps in Selecting Measures
100
The most frequently used single subject design
What is the B (intervention only) design
100
Purposively implemented change strategies
What is Interventions
200
Limited or intermediate versions of the ultimate goal; what will your client think, feel and do when the problem is no longer in existence.
What is Objectives
200
Test-retest reliability
Parallel form reliability
Internal consistency reliability

200
Narratives, Videotapes, Audiotapes, New computer applications.
What is Methodologies of Describing Interventions.
300
Who, will do what, to what extent, under what conditions.
What is components of specific objective statements.
300
The same instrument is given to your client at two different times
What is test-retest reliability
300
A three phase design: 1) No-intervention baseline phase, 2) Intervention phase and 3) No-intervention withdrawal phase
What is ABA (Basic Withdrawal) Design
300
Many intervention descriptions in the literature tend to be vague
When a client completes two different versions of an instrument
What is parallel-form reliability.
400
Useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable
