Chapter 9: Multiple Baseline and Changing Criterion Design Flashcards
An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successie and gradually changing criteria for reinforcement or punishment. Experimental control is evidenced by the extent the level of responding changes to conform to each new criterion
Changing Criterion Design
a variation of the multiple baseline dyeing in which an initial baseline and perhaps intervention are begun for one behavior (or setting, or subject) and subsequent baselines for additional behavior are begun in a staggered or delayed fashion.
Delayed multiple baseline design
a multiple baseline design in which the treatment variable is applied to two or more different behaviors of the same subject in the same setting.
Multiple baseline across behaviors design
a multiple baseline design in which the treatment variable is applied to the same behavior of the same subject across two or more different settings, situations or time periods.
Multiple baseline across settings design
a multiple baseline dyeing in which the treatment variable is applied to the same behavior of two or more subjects or groups in the same setting
Multiple baseline across subjects design
an experimental design that begins with the concurrent measurement of two or more behaviors in a baseline condition, followed by the application of the treatment variable to one of the behaviors while baseline conditions remain in effect for the other behaviors after maximum change has been noted in the first behavior, the treatment variable is applied in sequential fashion to each of the other behaviors in the design. Experimental control is demonstrated if each behavior shows similar changes when and only when the treatment variable is introduced
Multiple baseline design
a variation of the multiple baseline design that features intermittent measures or probes during baseline. It is used to evaluate the effects of instruction on skill sequence in which it is unlikely that the subject can improve performance on later steps in the sequence before learning prior steps.
