Interventions and Measurements
Targets of Interventions, Goals and Objectives, Measurement Basics
Experimental Single-System Designs
100

Purposively implemented change strategies

What are Interventions?
100

A mental image that summarizes a set of similar observations, feelings, or ideas.

What is a Concept
100
A-B-A Design
What is Baseline-Intervention-Baseline?
200

Individualized self-reporting measures to elicit information from clients, practitioners or relevant others. 
What are Rating Scales?
200

Preferences about the future, what the client would like to be, to do or would prefer to happen when the intervention is completed

What are Ultimate Goals?
200
The A in an experimental design.  
What is the baseline?
300
To ensure a measure is measuring what it is supposed to.  
What is validity? 
300

The extent to which a measure contains random measurement error  

What is Reliability? 
300
When you begin without a preliminary baseline?
What is a B-A-B Design?
400

Can be used in present time to evaluate the change in the frequency, duration or intensity of self-monitored targets.  

What are logs?
400

Distance between attributes does have meaning. Example, when we measure temperature (in Fahrenheit), the distance from 30-40 is same as distance from 70-80.

What is Interval? 
400
This experimental replication design is a very strong tool. 
What is the A-B-A-B Design
500

Methodologies for Describing Interventions

What are narratives, videotapes, and audiotapes?
500
Criteria for Setting Objectives

S = specific

M = measurable

A = achievable

R = relevant

T = time sensitive

500
Adding a second A to the A-B design does this. 

What causes an A-B design to become experimental?

M
e
