Q

Functional Analysis Disadvantages (6)

A
  1. May temporarily strengthen problem Bx #EthicsDevil
  2. May result in Bx aquiring a new function.
  3. Acceptability is low.
  4. Difficult to use for serious, low frequent Bxs. #EthicsDevil.
  5. If conducted in contrived settings, may not identify idiosyncratic variables related to the problem Bx.
  6. Requires time, effort and professional expertise.

Q

ABC Continuous Recording Advantages (3)

A
  1. Uses precise measurement
  2. Provides useful contextual information and rorrelations regarding environmental events and the problem Bx, which can provide useful informaiotn for later functional analysis. #Prediction #Correlation #Covariation
  3. Calculates conditional probabilities (chance Bx occures in specific circumstance

Q

ABC Continuous Recording Disadvantages (1)

A

Often Ax/Cx do not reliably precede and follow problem Bx’s making correlationsdifficult to detect. #Prediction #Covariation

Q

ABC Narrative Recording disavantages (5) #SequenseAnalysis #ABCDescriptiveNarrativeData

A
  1. Utility in identifying Bx function NOT established
  2. False Positives - Data only collected when Bx occured.
  3. The same Ax/Cx events ma be present when problem Bx is absent.
  4. Low reliability
  5. Observers may report ‘inferred states’ rather than events #Mentalism

Q

Scatter Plot Advantages (2) #PatternAnalysis

A
  1. Identifies time periods when the Bx occurs.

2. Can be sued to pinpoin periods of the day when more focused ABC assessments can be conducted.

Q

Scatter Plot Disadvantages (3) #PatternAnalysis

A
  1. Subjective
  2. Does not determine a function of problem Bx.
  3. Does not offer any replacement Bx

Q

Indirect Measures (Advantages) (2)

A

Q

Forward Chaining Advantages (2)

A
  1. It can be used to link smaller chains to larger ones.

2. Relatively easy, so teachers are likely to use it in the classroom.

Q

Indirect Measures Disadvantages (3)

A
  1. Informants might not be accurate.

Q

Benefits of Baseline Logic (4)

A
  1. Subject performance (without IV) acts as an objective basis for detecting change. #PVR
  2. Obtain descriptions of ABC correlations for the planning of an effective treatment #Covariation #Prediction.
  3. Setting initial Rx Criteria.
  4. Does target Bx really warrent interventions?

Q

What is the most widely used Experimental Design?

A

Multiple Baseline Design #Bx #Subject #Setting

17
Q

What is the most widely used Multiple Baseline Design

A

Multiple Baselines Across Subjects

18
Q

What is the most powerful within-subject design for demonstrating function?

A

Reversal Design #PureWithdrawl

19
Q

What is the best Experimental Design for clients with severe/dangourous Bx’s?

A

Reversal Design #BAB

20
Q

What is the most widely used Alternating Treatment Design?

A

Alternating Treatment Design with baseline and final best treatment phase. #SimultaneousTreatmentDesign #ConcurrentSchedulesDesign #MultiElementBaselineDesign #MultiElementDesign #MultpleSchedulesDesign

21
Q

When irreversability is a problem,…

A

use DRO DRI DRA as a control technique or Multiple Baselines Designs.

22
Q

Multiple Baseling Design Advantages (3)

A
  1. Successful interventions do NOT have to be removed.
  2. Evaluates generalization.
  3. Easy to implement.
23
Q

Multiple Baseline Designs (Disadvantages) (4)

A
  1. Functional relationship is NOT directly shown in this design.
  2. Effectiveness of the IV is demonstrated, but not information regarding the function of the target Bx.
  3. IV may be delayed for certain Bx, settings, or subjects. #Probe #Delayed
  4. Takes resources to implement properly.
24
Q

Changing Criterion Design Advantages (2)

A
  1. Does not require reversal of improved Bx.

2. Enables an experimental analysis within the context of a gradually improving Bx.

25
Q

Changing Criteron Design Disadvantages (3)

A
  1. The target Bx must already be in the person’s repertoire.
  2. NOT appropriate for analyzig the effects of a shaping program. Shaping is a Bx changing procedure .
  3. It is NOT a comparison design.
26
Q

Reversal Designs Advantages (3)

A
  1. Clear demonstrate of the existence/absence of a functional relationship between the IV and DV #Treatment/Bx #PVR
  2. Enables us to count the amount of Bx change.
  3. Return to baseline tells us we need to program for maintenance
27
Q

Reversal Designs Disadvantages (2+Bonus)

A
  1. Levels of Bx observed in an ealier phase connot be reproduced even though experimental conditions are the same. #Irreversability
  2. Have to remove IV #EthicsDevil #RemovingEffectiveTreatment #Social #Educational
  3. BAB - Weaker, Sequence Effect
  4. Multiple Treatment Design - weaker, Sequence Effect
28
Q

Alternating Treatment Design Advantages (5)

A
  1. Avoids ISU #Irreversability #SequenceEffect #UnstableData
  2. Does not require treatment withdrawl.
  3. Speedy comparison
  4. Can be used to assess generalization effect.
  5. Intervention can be immediate without baseline data.
29
Q

Alternating Treatment Design Disadvantages (4)

A
  1. Multiple Treatment Interfearence #2+AtOnce
  2. Unnatural nature of rapidly alternating treatment #ClinicalSetting
  3. Limited capacity of the design #Maxof4 (althought there has been more in research.
  4. Selection of treatment #SignificantlyDifferentConditions
30
Q

Forward Chaining Advantages (3)

A
  1. Can link smaller chains together
  2. Easy to implemet
  3. Combined with other Bx change procedures
