Jeff conducted a study, and found that providing immediate and positive feedback to his employee resulted in increased work performance. In this study, work performance is the
What is Dependent Variable?
Each subject is their own control in this type of experimental design
What is Single Subject Design?
Reversal
what is Single Subject Design
Minimum number of treatments to be used in alternating treatment design
What is 2
Systematically comparing two or more independent variables that comprise a treatment package
What is Component Analysis?
In behavior analytic experiments, this variable is usually the intervention implemented.
What is Independent Variable?
The practice of returning to baseline during an experiment to ensure that baseline returns to its pervious level
What is Verification?
Group data may not represent individual subjects
What is disadvantage of group design?
This type of treatment excels at comparing multiple treatments to determine which is the most effective
What is alternating treatment design?
Experimentally discovering the differential effects of a range of values of an independent variable
This Type of error is also known as a false negative. They report no functional relation between the independent and dependent variable, when one actually occurred
What is Type II error
In a behavior analytic single subject design experiment, this is mostly likely to be the dependent variable
What are target behaviors?
Changing Criterion, Alternating treatments, Multiple probe
Minimize sequence effects, doe snot require treatment withdrawal, and minimizes irreversibility problems
What are advantages of alternating treatments design
When the effects of one condition may carry over and influence behavior in a subsequent condition
What is Sequence effects?
This type of validity refers to the extent to which the study shows that the changes to the dependent variable were due to the independent variable, as opposed to other uncontrolled variables.
What is Internal Validity
In a behavior analytic single subject design experiment, this is mostly likely to be the independent variable
Experimental design in which treatment is applied in a stepwise fashion to a single behaviors
What is Changing Criterion Design?
3 vacations of multiple baseline design
What are across subjects, behaviors, and settings?
When using multiple components in treatment and you are systematically removing treatments to determine which compensate are not necessary for improving behavior
This type of validity refers to the extent to which the changes made to the behavior were significant to the individual. The interventions used were humane and culturally accepted.
What is Social Validity
John conducts a reversal design. During the second "b" phase, John reintroduced the independent variable. This practice is referred to as
What is replication?
In a changing criterion design the second to last data set is decreased and then increased during the last data set to
What is strengthen experimental control?
What is baseline?
Number of independent variable that are under investigation when conducting a parametric analysis
What is 1?
