i.e., 10 min. DRO, 5 mg’s VS. 10 mg’s
Level
data path on the y-axis
calculated by a mean (average) go all data points
always a flat line
Trend
Direction of the data path
DAVS- Descending, Ascending, Variable, Stable (no trend)
Steep= (>45 degrees) -quickly Moderate = (~15-45 degrees) - just ascending Flat = (0-~15) - stable
Variability
How spread out the data points are
Range
High spread = high variability
Low spread= low variability
Less variability = more stability
more stability = less variability
Empiricism
Facts
Detailed descriptions
Observations (objective, quantified)
Experimental practice
Carefully defined phenomenon (i.e., science fair project)
DRA

FCT (antecedent based)
DRC (consequence based)
Antecedent strategy
DNRA- negative reinforcement (escape)
Unconditioned Punishers
Unlearned punishers
Untrained punishers
Pairing
i.e., loud noise, physical restraint, pain
Determinism
Lawful, orderly, predictable
Cause + Effect- everything happens for a reason!
Consistent results over numerous experiments
ALL phenomenon occurs as a result of other events.
