Practice Evaluation
Measures
Scales
Designs
100
What is the backbone of practice evaluation?
What is Single Subject Design?
100
To help you practice more sensitively and more effectively.
What is: Why are we taking a course on practice evaluation?
100
The closeness of the measures to the ultimate outcome criteria
What is validity
100
The uniformity of procedures when administering and scoring a measure, and it implies the availability of existing data concerning the validity and reliability of the measure
What is standardization?
100
Two phase design consisting of a no-intervention baseline phase and an intervention phase. The existence of a baseline allows for the establishment of a relationship between intervention and outcome. Susceptible to uncontrolled influences of extraneous variables (the non-spuriousness issue in causal inference), especially the history threat to internal validity.
What is AB Design
200
The primary method of evaluation
What is single-system designs?
200
The use of formal and systematic evaluation methods to help you assess, monitor, and evaluate your cases and inform you and the client about decisions that can be made to improve results.
What is Evaluation informed practice?
200
A research design at the descriptive level of the knowledge continuum that resembles an "ideal" experiment but does not allow for random selection or assignment of participants to groups.
What is quasi-experimental
200
Used to quantify internal consistency/ reliability The higher, the better, best possible=1 0.70= adequate Greater than .80 very good reliability
What is Coefficient Alpha/ Cronbach Alpha
200
Three conditions that must be established before we call a relationship causal
What is: A relationship must exist between the two variables The relationship must be non-spurious. There should be a time interval between one variable and the other
300
Involves the planned, systematic collection of information regarding the target before an intervention.
What is baseline phase?
300
Operational Definition of target.
What is something you can measure.
300
The degree of accuracy, precision, or consistency in results of a measuring instrument, including the ability to produce the same results when the same variable is measured more than once or repeated applications of the same test on the same individual produce the same measurement.
What is reliability?
300
Clinical cutting point or cutoff score
What is the level at which a score indicates a significant problem?
300
A three phase design: 1) No-intervention baseline phase, 2) Intervention phase, and 3) No-intervention withdrawal phase. Allows for evaluation of pre-intervention and intervention problem status. More reliable establishment of a relationship between intervention and outcome than in the AB design
What is ABA (Basic Withdrawal) Design
400
Observing the same target problem over regular time intervals in order to record changes.
What is time-series design?
400
Dictionary definition
What is conceptual definition?
400
The belief that things being observed or measured are affected by the fact that they are being observed or measured.
What is reactivity?
400
Can be used to measure the intensity of a target
What is an IRS?
400
Sometimes an individual’s behavior is so severe that the researcher cannot wait to establish a baseline and must begin with an intervention.
What is BAB
500
The sum of systematic and planned interventions chosen to deal with a particular set of targets to achieve identified objectives and goals.
What is Practice design?
500
Nominal, Ordinate, Interval, and Scale
What is Levels of measurement?
500
Ability of a measure to most accurately represent the real target.
What is directness
500
Can be used to evaluate internal thoughts
What is an IRS
500
Allows for evaluation across clients, situations, or problems. True experimental design in that it allows for causal inference. Useful for evaluating situations where an intervention would be likely to bring about enduring changes in the dependent variable.
What is Multiple Baseline Designs
