Measurement
Measurement must be ______, ______ and _____ to be useful.
What is valid, accurate and reliable?
This SSRD includes a baseline period, a treatment period, and a subsequent removal of treatment
What is an ABA design?
Results are lasting and able to be replicated in multiple environments, with different sets of materials, and with novel people.
What is Generality?
What is an environmental variable that alters the reinforcing effectiveness of some stimulus, object, or event.
What is a motivating operation?
________ is a discrete measure that can be the same as count or rate. It advantage of being valid and easy to record. Disadvantage should not be used with behaviors that vary in intensity or duration.
What is frequency?
Refers to an observation of a given behavior prior to the presentation of any intervention or treatment to alter condition.
What is a baseline condition?
Results are to the extent that they are socially valid.
What is effective?
The type of stimulus in the presence of which a particular response will be reinforced and in the absence of which that response will not be reinforced.
What is a discriminative stimulus?
Measurement has _______ when it yields data that are directly relevant to phenomenon measured and to the reason(s) for measuring it
What is validity?
This type of SSRD introduces experimental manipulation at different times for different behaviors to see if behavior change coincides with manipulation; researchers continue to measure baseline for all other factors while adding treatment for just one.
What is a multiple baseline across behaviors design?
Procedures are clear and replicable.
What is in place when there is a tendency for a behavior to occur in the presence of the SD (b/c it was reinforced in the past) and not when it is absent?
What is stimulus control?
_____ is the measure of time between two successive responses.
What is inter-response time.
The introduction of an I.V. on a single bx that correspond to changes in response requirements or value of the I.V.
Each sub phase gets you closer to goal and provides a baseline for the next phase.
Behavior must change only when criteria changes.
There is a stronger argument if there is a bidirectional change; are attributes of what SSRD?
What is CCD?
Demonstrates a functional relationship between the behavior and the environment.
What is analytic?
What is the procedure by which a bx that was previously reinforced no loner receives reinforcement and the probability of the behavior decreases?
What is extinction?
What are temporal extent, temporal locus, and repeatability?
____ is how is believability of the IV established in single subject designs.
What is replication?
The behavior is socially important and meaningful to the individual’s life.
What is applied?
Studying for the required duration and effort to avoid a poor grade in Dr. Gleeson's class is an example of ______ ________.
What is negative reinforcement?
