SCIENCE B*@#!
Bx Analysis up in hur up in hur.
'Allllll the single cases' 'Alllll the single cases'
Group Designs (Why we have to learn this is beyond me)
Trustworthy measurement is the best kinda measurement
100
These are the 3 levels of understanding in science.
What is description, prediction, and control?
100
In 1968 Baer, Wolf, and Risley described the 7 dimensions of ABA which were:
What is Applied, Behavioral, Analytic, Technological, Conceptually systematic, Effective, General?
100
The 5 types of single-case designs.
What is quasi-experimental (i.e. AB), reversals, multiple baselines, alternating treatments, and changing criterion.
100
Speaking of which (the title) we need to be aware of group designs for what 2 reasons?
What are (a) plausible rival hypotheses and (b) threats to internal validity?
100
The indicators of trustworthy measurement.
What is measurement validity, measurement accuracy, and measurement reliability?
200
This is considered the highest level of scientific understanding and is demonstrated through the discovery of functional relations in ABA.
What is control?
200
Behavior analysis uses _______ analysis over _______ analysis.
What is visual analysis; statistical analysis?
200
(a) The extent to which a research method can rule out alternative explanations for changes in the target behavior is called ___________ (b) The ability to extend the findings of an experiment to other persons, settings and clinical syndromes with confidence is called ________________.
What is (a) internal validity; (b) external validity
200
Randomization is characterized by two methods in group designs.
What is (a) The random selection of participants from a population and (b) The random assignment of participants to experimental conditions.
200
Threats to measurement validity.
What is indirect measurement, measuring the wrong dimension of behavior, and measurement artifact.
300
These are the 6 attitudes of science
What is determinism, empiricism, experimentation, replication, parsimony, philosophic doubt?
300
The 4 key characteristic of single case designs
What is continuous measurement, baseline assessment, stability of baseline, and changing one variable at a time?
300
The single-case designs whose limitations are a)scientific in that is does not demonstrate great experimental control and b)applied in that it requires a lot of time and resources and may not be completely ethical.
What is the multiple baseline design?
300
The 4 group quasi-experimental designs
What is one group post test only; one group pre-test/post-test; nonequivalent pre-test/post-test; non equivalent post-test only
300
Threats to internal validity.
What is history, maturation, testing, selection bias, attrition
400
This attitude of science involves objective observations based on thorough description, systematic and repeated measurement, and precise quantification of the phenomena of interest.
What is empiricism?
400
In ABA we use (a)_________ over ________. This method is supported by three lines of rationale:
What is (a) single-case designs over group designs? (b) 1.There are many areas where the gradual buildup of information from single cases is the norm (i.e. law medicine) 2.Historically psychology has used the intensive study of the individual 3.Group designs have led us astray argument.
400
2-PARTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (double points because I say so!!!) (a) The three type of single case experimental strategies (b) How the 5 single case designs fit into these strategies
(a) What is within-series, between-series, and combined series designs. (b) What is within-series=quasi-experimental, reversal, and changing criterion; between-series=alternating tx's; combined=MBL
400
Sorry another not-group testing question: Name the 4 variations of an alternating treatments design.
What are: a)Single phase without no-tx control condition b)Single phase with one no-tx control condition c)Two phases with initial baseline d) Three phases including initial baseline and ending with best treatment phase
400
What are the 4 different types of replication in single subject work? BONUS DOUBLE POINTS YAY: Differentiate between all 4
What is direct replication, intersubject replication, intrasubject replication and systematic replication? -Direct replication = Every effort is made to duplicate the conditions in the 1st experiment -Intrasubject replication = Same subject used -Intersubject replication = Similar subjects used in the same experiment -Systematic replication = change one aspect of the procedure (e.g. age of participants)
500
What is the way in which the 4 interrelated domains of behavior analysis fit onto the 4 sections of the model of science?
What is Conceptual foundations = behaviorism; basic science=EAB; Applied science = ABA; Practice=practice (hopefully an EBP)
500
When changes in data are not extreme, making visual analysis harder, certain methods are used to describe the data. (Name at least 3, although there is at least 7...lets say another 500 points for naming all 7).
What is trend, level, variability, immediacy of effect, magnitude of changes in DV across conditions, overlap, consistency across similar data paths?
500
Just because they demonstrate amazing experimental control doesn't mean they don't have issues....limitations of reversal designs areeeeee:
What are a)stability with baseline (may be in jeopardy...ha...when there are time constraints) b) irreversible behaviors c)ethical issues; d)practical issues; e)educational/clinical issues
500
Sorry, another single-case question that also warranted 500 points but didn't fit in that category: a) Advantages (4 total) and b) disadvantages (3 total) of alternating treatment designs:
What are (a) Does not require treatment withdrawal. Speed of comparison. Minimizes sequence effects. Intervention can begin immediately (b) Multiple treatment interference. Unnatural nature of rapidly alternating treatments. Limited capacity (max of 4 conditions).
500
Society needs to evaluate our work on at least three levels, those being:
What is 1. the social significance of the goals 2. The social appropriateness of the procedures 3. The social importance of the effects
