23
Q

A

Record review, interviews and questionnaires

24
Q

Internal validity

A

25
Q

IOA criteria

A

80% agreement for 30% of observations

26

Total count or percent agreement

27
Q

Level

A

Average value of data points across an entire condition or phase

28
Q

Minimizes validity threats

A

Measurement, stability, immediacy, replication

29
Q

Multielement design

A

Rapidly alternate between conditions

30
Q

Multiple baseline design

A

IV introduced in a staggered order once behavior is stable for first baseline

31
Q

Pairwise

A

One test condition alternated with control. Assists in discriminability of conditions

32
Q

Parametric analysis

A

Examines the effects of a range of IV values

33
Q

Partial interval recording

A

Occurrence is recorded if the response is observed during any part of the interval

34
Q

Parts of an equal interval line graph

A

Title, legend, X axis, Y axis, data points, data path, phase change lines and labels

35
Q

Phase change

A

Major change in the IV

36
Q

Placheck

A

Percent of individuals engaged in target behavior immediately following an interval

37
Q

Probes

A

Evaluate whether treatment affects are evident before treatment occurs

38
Q

Procedural integrity

A

IV implemented as stated by the treatment plan

39
Q

Progressive ratio schedule

A

Assess reinforcer effectiveness as response requirements increase

40
Q

Response definition should be:

A

Clear, complete and objective

41
Q

Sequential effects

A

Behavior in one condition influenced by experience in prior condition

42
Q

Single-case design

A

Repeated presentation and removal of treatment while keeping other factors constant

43
Q

Social validity

A

Treatment goals are useful for the individual and those around him

44
Q

Threats to internal validity

A

History, maturation, testing, instrumentation, diffusion of treatment, regression towards the mean, selection bias, attrition

45
Q

Trails to criterion

A

Number of consecutive responses required to achieve a performance standard

46
Q

Trend

A

Overall direction of a set of data points

47
Q

Type 1 error

A

Concluding the IV produced a change in the DV when it did not

48
Q

Type 2 error

A

Concluding the IV did not produce a change in the DV when it did

49
Q

A

Extent which measures of behavior diverge from one another

50
Q
