200
Level of Measurement:  Ordered Categories
What is Ordinal Level measurement?
200
A scale that is measuring what it is supposed to measure is said to be ______
What is validity?
200
Reviewing all possible problems and deciding which one to start with first, second, etc.
What is prioritizing targets?
200
Single phase intervention only design
What is B design?
300
Level of Measurement: Equal Intervals with no meaning to scores of zero
What is Interval Measurement?
300
The measure is relevant to intervention planning, is easy to use and easily accessible. 
What is utility?
300
Specification of change desired and direction of the intervention.  Provides a frame or reference for evaluating if the client is moving and whether the destination is met.
What is a goal?  Or what is an ultimate goal?
300
2 phase design consisting of no intervention phase and then an intervention phase
What is AB design?
400
Same as interval measure but also contains a defined zero where zero equals absence of some characteristic
What is ratio level measurement?
400
Who will do what, to what extent and under what condition?
Ultimate goal statement
400

3 phase design consisting of a baseline phase without intevention, then an intervention phase and a no-intervention withdrawal phase.
