Variables
What is a dependent variable:
What is the target behavior that the intervention is designed to change?
An experiment shows convincingly that changes in a behavior are a function of the intervention/treatment and NOT the result of:
What are uncontrolled or unknown factors?
When using a single-subject research design, individuals serve as their own :
What is control?
What is comparing how both groups are doing to see if the treatment made a difference?
Alternating treatment designs include two or more:
What are conditions in rapidly alternating succession independent of the level of responding and the effects on the target behavior?
What is an independent variable?
What is the intervention designed to have an effect on the dependent variable?
Research findings are clinically useless unless they can convincingly demonstrate:
What is that the methods were responsible for the observed changes?
Repeated measures within single-subject experimental designs measure:
What is to see if our intervention is working?(also known as the dependent variable)
Using single case design methodology helps us demonstrate a:
What is a functional relationship?
Changing criterion designs can only be used when the behavior is already in the learner’s:
What is repertoire?
You can identify a dependent variable by:
What is identifying if the goal is to produce a change in behavior?
External validity study's results that are:
What is generalizable to other subjects, settings and/or behaviors not included in the original study?
Prediction is looking at the data we have and making:
What is an informed guess?
Prediction, verification, and replication are also clearly demonstrated with which design?
What is a withdrawal design?
Changing criterion designs do not allow for:
What is comparison?
You can identify an independent variable by:
What is the independent variable intervenes in the phenomenon of interest?
Internal validity shows that change in a behavior are a function of the:
What is intervention/treatment?
Verification is demonstrating that baseline levels of behavior would have remained without:
What is introducing the independent variable (intervention)?
True of False: With a multiple baseline design, experimental control is difficult to demonstrate?
What is true?
The data from single-case designs are analyzed by:
What is visual inspection of graphs?
True or False: In order to accurately understand behavior change, all change targets and treatment conditions must be identified.
What is true?
Without high internal validity, cause and effect relationships cannot be:
What is discovered?
Replication is strengthening the case that the independent variable is responsible for:
What are changes in behavior by demonstrating it multiple times?
Multiple baseline designs typically involve 3-5 :
What are subjects, settings, or behaviors?
A component analysis analyzes pieces of a treatment package to determine which piece is influencing the:
