Numerical values that name the attribute uniquely.
What is nominal level of measurement.
100
Changes in the dependent variable are due to normal developmental processes.

400
The process of specifying what we mean by a term.
What is conceptualization.
400
Absolute zero that is meaningful.
What is ratio level of measurement.
400

400
True experimental design that allows for causal inference.
What is Multiple Baseline Designs.
400
The use of this process allows one to gather different aspects of the problem and increase confidence in ones results.
What is multiple measures.
500
Assigns meaning to a variable in terms of the operations necessary to measure it.
