Answer 18

behaviors

Question 19

In a multiple-baseline-across- _______ research design, one treatment is implemented for one behavior of one subject in two or more settings.

Answer 19

settings

Answer 26

A-B-A-B reversal

Question 27

If it would be unsafe to remove treatment once it produces a change in behavior, then you should not use a(n) _______ research design.

Answer 27

A-B-A-B reversal

Question 28

You are recording a child’s behavior of saying “please” and “thank you.” After a week of base- line, you use reinforcement to increase the behavior of saying “please.” After 2 weeks of base- line, you then use reinforcement to increase the behavior of saying “thank you.” What research design is illustrated in this example?

Answer 28

multiple baseline across behaviors

Question 29

You are recording a child’s behavior of saying “please” and “thank you” in day care and at home. After a week of baseline, you use reinforcement to increase the behavior of saying “please” and “thank you” at day care. After 2 weeks of baseline, you then use reinforcement to increase the behavior of saying “please” and “thank you” at home. What research design is illustrated in this example?

Answer 29

multiple baseline across settings

Question 30
