Autism Ch 4 Flashcards
Single case research design are used to demonstrate experimental control with each……..
Individual who is evaluated
When can we say we have demonstrated functional control
If we can show that specific IVs reliably produce changes in target behavior
What does internal validity refer to
The ability to attribute changes in behavior to the IV and not to extraneous variables
In addition to internal validity what else is required to demonstrate a functional relation
Replication
How are causal relations demonstrated in reversal design
By measuring the DV while systematically introducing and removing theIV
When is multiple baseline used?
When the effects of the IV. May not be reservable or a reversal to baseline levels is boy acceptable.
When is a functional relationship demonstrated in a Multiple baseline design
To the degree that occurrences of the DV remain steady within each baseline until the IV is introduced and the DV changes reliably with the introduction of the IV in that setting.
