Problems
This is the problem of focus, which should be defined as specifically as possible.
What is the target?
Very specific versions of ultimate goals.
What are objectives?
The backbone of practice evaluation.
What is a single subject design?
In the baseline phase, measurements are taken until this emerges.
What is a pattern?
This type of measurement utilizes categories.
What is nominal?
Defining something in a way that you can measure.
What is an operational definition?
What client would like to see after the intervention is complete.
What is the ultimate goal?
A relationship that exists between two variables, is non-spurious, and has a time interval between one variable and the other - are required conditions for this.
What is causality?
Baselines provide an estimate of what would happen to the client without this.
What is intervention?
This type uses equal intervals and a 0 point.
What is a scale?
You will see these in practice, not problems.
What are indicators?
If a client would like to reduce their anxiety symptoms, they would have state this type of goal.
What is an ultimate goal?
This design allows for the establishment between intervention and outcome.
What is AB design?
Baselines help to confirm or disconfirm that this exists.
What is the problem?
This type uses categories in a certain order.
What is ordinal?
Always start by surveying these.
What are client concerns?
Stating a client will increase behavioral activation through scheduling 30 minutes of exercise twice a week for six weeks, is considered this.
What is an objective?
When behavior is so sever a baseline cannot be established, this type of design is used.
What is BAB design?
The period of time in which an outcome is measured repeatedly in the absence of an intervention.
What is baseline?
This type uses equal intervals.
What is interval?
This type of design does not allow for evaluation of pre-intervention status.
What is a B design?
Useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable.
