Practice Evaluation
The backbone of practice evaluation
What is Single System Design?
What is the operational definition of a target?
Something you can measure
Key to all measures
What is validity, reliability, measurement error, utility, and directness?
Cronbach Alpha measures this
What are consistency and reliability
These are types of measures
What are standardized, observational, individual rating scales, and client logs?
Surveying client concerns
What is starting where the client is
What is a conceptual definition?
The definition from the dictionary
Levels of measurement
What are nominal, ordinal, interval, and scale
This number is the best possible
What is 1/
These eight things characterize good measures
What are reliable, valid, sensitive to change, non-reactive, direct, easy to use, accessible, and relevant to intervention planning?
In practice, you see this instead of problems
What are Indicators
The operational definition for anxiety
What is anxiety scale score; heart rate and blood pressure; on a scale of 1-9, how anxious are you?
Accuracy is equal to this
What is validity?
This is adequate
What is 0.70?
How can we call it casual?
What is a relationship must exist between two variables, non-spurious relationship, and a time interval between one variable and another?
Selecting a target
What is focusing on one problem and defining it as specifically as you can
Two types of goals
What are ultimate goals and objectives
Consistency is equal to this
What is reliability?
What is very good reliability?
What is greater than .80?
There are two phases in this design
What is AB?
The acronym SSD
What is Single System Design?
Ultimate goals are made of this
What is what the client would like to happen when the intervention is complete?
An explanation or alternative explanation for a score
What is measurement error?
Two ways measures can go wrong
What is not all essential features are present and it measures something other than the concept it was meant to measure?
A baseline is this
What is the period of time during which an outcome is measured repeatedly in the absence of an intervention?
