What is a Cumulative Record?
The order in which the treatments are presented is randomized to control for potential order effects or sequencing biases.
This describes an environmental variable that alters (increase/decrease) the reinforcing effectiveness of a stimulus AND alters (increase/decrease) the current frequency of all behaviors that has been reinforced by that stimulus

This is type of recording is best used for teachers or in group setting when it iss impractical to continually focus on the behavior of one individual
What is momentary time sampling?
Using the correct measurement system when collecting measurement on behaviors is necessary to ensure this
What is validity?
What is a "condition change line"?
These two types of experimental designs are not suitable due to irreversibility
What is reversal and withdrawal design?
