What is a control study

Has multiple DV 

100

What coolour are Julie's shoes normally 

Brown

100

What does it do?

It apply experimental logic to investigate the behaviour of one individual. Exposes participants to IV to create a change in DV

100

Are the participants group or studied as individuals when there is a Large N

the participants are in groups to examine the group mean

100

What is it?

in depth analysis of individual, group or event

200

What is a Non-equivalent control group design  

Has no DV but has a post-test

200

Does it explain individual behaviour?

Its hard too
200
It uses the ABA (reversal design) what is it?

A: Baseline or control period

B: exposure to IV manipulation 

A: Removal of IV

200

With a small N are the participants in groups or looked at as individuals?

Each participant is treated and examined individually

200

Would a single subject design be used and why?

unlikely because there is usually no attempted at experimental rigor. 

300

Procedure of Non-equivalent 

Control:

No IV -> Post-test

Experimental:

IV -> Post test


300

What does it tell us?

Tells us about the average behaviour

300

Whats are some other Reversal design structures?

AAABAAA

ABAB

ABCAD

300

What type of measure is used in small N

a report measure

300

Name two of four problems 

1. Objectivity 

2. Reliability/ validity 

3. No comparison group

4. No control over extraneous factors 

400

Procedure of control group design 

Control:

DV1->DV2 -> No IV -> DV3 -> DV4

Experimental:

DV1 -> DV2 -> IV -> DV3 -> DV4

What colour are Julie's glasses?

400

What are some problems with this type of study?
