Why are graphs helpful?
Visual representation of behavior over time
Document changes in behavior during treatment
Inform treatment decision making
X axis
unit of time during which the behavior is recorded
unit of time during which the behavior is recorded
x axis
y axis
the behavior and the dimension of the behavior that is recorded
the behavior and the dimension of the behavior that is recorded
y axis
single subject design
one participant in the study

single subject design
functional relationship
change in target behavior occurs as a function of behavior modification procedure
change in target behavior occurs as a function of behavior modification procedure
functional relationship
A-B design
compare baseline to treatment phase
limitations: temporal factors (changes over time), coincidences, test reactivity
compare baseline to treatment phase
A-B design
What are the issues with A-B designs?
does not demonstrate replication
behavior change can be result of extraneous variables
A-B-A-B reversal design
baseline and treatment are implemented twice
baseline and treatment are implemented twice
A-B-A-B reversal design
Issues with reversal?
ethics
treatment may not work the second time
treatment effects may not reverse
What are the three types of Multiple-Baseline Design?
MBA-subjects
MBA-behaviors
MBA-settings
MBA-subjects
baseline and treatment phase for the same target behavior of two or more subjects
baseline and treatment phase for the same target behavior of two or more subjects
MBA-subjects
MBA-behaviors
baseline and treatment phase for two or more behaviors of the same subject
baseline and treatment phase for two or more behaviors of the same subject
MBA-behaviors
MBA-settings
baseline and treatment phase for two or more setting in which the same behavior of the same subject is measured
baseline and treatment phase for two or more setting in which the same behavior of the same subject is measured
MBA-settings
Alternating-Treatments Design
baseline and treatment conditions are conducted in rapid succession and compared with each other
