Where is replication for reversal design?

A

treatment / intervention 2

155
Q

Strengths of Alternating Treatments

A

can compare treatments with worrying about sequence effects and without withdrawing intervention, intervention begins immediately

156
Q

Weaknesses of Alternating Treatments

A

may cause multiple treatment interference, unnatural, max of 4 interventions

157
Q

When to use alternating treatments

A

when comparing effect of interventions and cannot withdraw intervention and worried about sequence effects

158
Q

Variations of alternating treatments

A

with a control condition, with a baseline

159
Q

Baseline logic for Alternating Treatments

A

Each successive point plays all three roles

160
Q

Strengths for MBL

A

does not require withdrawal, useful with generalization, feasible, easy to understand

161
Q

Weaknesses of MBL

A

may not allow scientific control, weaker​

162
Q

When to use MBL

A

when withdrawal not possible, and comparing across subjects/settings/behaviors ​

163
Q

Variations for MBL

A

Multiple probe, delayed MBL

164
Q

Baseline logic for MBL

A

Prediction: baselines​

Verification: Subsequent baselines after intervention introduced to previous baseline​

Replication: subsequent intervention phases

165
Q

Strengths of Changing Criterion Design

A

Does not require withdrawal

166
Q

Weakness of CCD

A

can only look at one behavior at a time, very specific purpose

167
Q

When to use CCD

A

When interested in step wise modification

168
Q

When not to use CCD

A

When shaping, or teaching a new skill

169
Q

Baseline logic for CCD

A

Prediction: baseline​

Verification: varying lengths of phases, returning to a previous criterion (“mini reversal”)​

Replication: subsequent phases of intervention

170
Q

What is pivotal Behavior?

A

A behavior that when learned, produces corresponding modifications or covariations in other untrained behaviors

171
Q

What is behavioral cusp?

A

A behavior that has sudden and dramatic consequences that extend well beyond the change itself, because it exposes the person to new environments, reinforcers, contingencies, etc.

172
Q

What is direct measure?

A

What is measured is the behavior of interest (more valid)​

-frequency recording​

-Analog notes​

-ABC data

173
Q

What is indirect measure?

A

What is measured is in some way different from the behavior of interest (less valid)​

-BCP checklist ​

-Questionnaire ​

-Permanent product

174
Q

Measuring all individual instances​

Ex: Count, duration, IRT, latency

A

Continuous Measure

175
Q

Some instances may not be detected​

Ex: time sampling

A

Discontinuous Measure

176
Q

A response that does not have a clear beginning and end​

Ex: smiling, eye contact

A

Continuous Behavior

177
Q

Clear beginning and end​

Ex: A single slap, a single bark

A

Discontinuous Behavior

178
Q

Explain bar graph

A

With bar charts, each column represents a group defined by a categorical variable.

179
Q

Explain histogram

A

With histograms, each column represents a group defined by a quantitative variable.

180
Q

Elements of a Quasi-Design

A

Not a true experiment, no manipulation of an independent variable​

Can approximate a group design (with no randomization of groups) or a single subject design (as a basic A-B design)​

Used when resources are not available to conduct a true experiment​

Can allow you to determine a hypothesis, but NOT to determine a functional relation

181
Q

Elements of Group Design

A

True experiment​

Consists of a control group and an experimental group – one gets the independent variable and the other does not​

Uses inferential statistics to determine if there is a statistical difference between control group and exp. Group​

^^This is how they determine a functional relation​

Not often used in behavior analysis

182
Q

Elements of Single Subject Design

A

True experiment​

Reversal, MBL, Alt Tx, CCD​

Uses descriptive statistics (AKA visual analysis) to determine a functional relation​

Use if you have resources to do more than a quasi-design and/or if you need to determine an absolute functional relation

183
Q

What is Type 1 Error

A

False positive​

Concluding the intervention produced an effect when it did not

184
Q

What is Type 2 error

A

False negative ​

Concluding the intervention did not produce an effect when it did

185
Q

When does internal validity occur?

A

If the IV had an effect; was the experiment done right?

186
Q

Face Validity

A

a form a measurement validity. Does the appear to be measuring what we think it does? ​ Are we using the right form of measurement?

187
Q

History

A

Threat to internal validity.
Event that occur between DV measurements that influence results.​

Ex: family crisis, change in job, hurricane

188
Q

Maturation

A

Threat to interval validity
Any change over time, may result from processes within subject​

Ex: growing stronger, smarter, tired, bored

189
Q

Treatment Diffusion

A

Threat to internal validity
Intervention is inadvertently provided when it should not be ​

A design looking at praise- but praise is given during baseline phases

190
Q

Extraneous Variable

A

Any aspect of the experiment that must be held constant
-The experimenter held the extraneous variables, like # of question on the worksheet, constant during the experiment.

191
Q

Confound

A

Uncontrolled factor exerting an influence on a DV
-subjects illness was a confound to the DV of the experiment

192
Q

Non-parametric

A

One condition has a treatment, and one does not ​

Studying whether time out is more effective than not using time out ​

193
Q

Parametic

A

Looks at variations of treatment ​

Ex: 10 minutes vs 20 minutes vs 30 minutes of an intervention ​

Studying the effects of varying durations of time out ​
