Changing Criterion And Multiple Baseline Design, alternating treatments design

Question 0

Changing criterion design are best suited for

Answer 0

Change involving a dimension (usually rate) of an existing behavior. It is not amenable to skill acquisition programs and it is not appropriate for behaviors which there is very little tolerance and it has nothing to do with generalization

Question 1

Features that characterize a strong demonstration of experimental control with a changing criterion design are

Answer 1

Several rapid changes in behavior corresponding to criterion changes, different length of conditions, different size criterion changes, a phase contrary to the general trend

Question 2

With a multiple baseline design a functional relation requires

Answer 2

A bah iron change only with the onset of the intervention, a replication of behavior change across at least two behaviors, persons, or settings, staggered implementation of the intervention

Question 3

The rapid alternations of conditions characterized by the alternating treatments design controls for several threats to validity:

Answer 3

Maturation, sequence effects, attrition to some degree, and data instability
