100
Nominal, Ordinal, Interval & Scale
What are the four levels of measurement?
100
Greater than .80.
What is very good reliability?
100
B design or intervention only.
What is the most frequently used single-subject design?
100
A period of time during which an outcome is measured repeatedly in the absence of the intervention.
What is a baseline?
200
In order to determine whether there's been a change in the area of concern and/or if there is a functional relationship between the intervention and the observed change.
What is the reasons to use different types of SSD's?
200
This level of measurement has categories in a certain order.
What is an Ordinal level of measurement?
200
Accuracy (validty) & Consistency (reliability).
What are the two main objectives to strive for when working with measurement?
200
A two-phase design consisting of a no-intervention baseline phase and an intervention phase.
What is an AB (Baseline and Intervention) Design?
200
This provides an estimate of what would happen to a client without intervention.
What is a baseline?
300
Ultimate goals & Intermediate goals
What are the two types of goals in the goal specification phase of a SSD?
300
This level of measurement features equal intervals only.
What is the Interval level of measurement?
300
Random & Systematic
What are the two types of measurement error?
300
A three-phase design that includes no-intervention baseline phase, an intervention phase & a no-intervention withdrawal phase.
What is an ABA (Basic Withdraw) Design?
300
Stable line, Trend & Cycle.
What are the different types of patterns in baseline testing?
400
This level of measurement features categories.
What is the Nominal level of measurement?
400
Validity, Reliability, Measurement Error, Utility & Directness.
What are the five main characteristics of all measurements?
400
When an individual's behavior is so severe that the researcher cannot wait to establish a baseline and must begin immediately with an intervention.
What is a BAB Design?
400
Measures are unreliable, Inconsistencies in reporting & changes in a client's life.
What are situations in which no pattern is evident during the baseline phase?
500
A relationship exists between two variables, the relationship must be non-spurious & there should be a time interval between one variable and the other.
What are the three conditions that must be established before a relationship can be considered casual?
500
This level of measurement has both equal intervals and a 0 point.
What is the Scale level of measurement?
500
This is used to quantify internal consistency/reliability.
What are the Coefficient Alpha/Cronbach Alpha?
500
This design allows for evaluation across clients, situations or problems.
What is a Multiple Baseline Design?
