Ch 3 Flashcards
abscissa
X axis, displays time on a graph
Graph
visual representation of a behavior over time
Ordinate
Y-axis, measures behavioral dimension on a graph
Baseline
label given to the no treatment phase
Research design
used to determine if the independent variable is responsible for the change in the target behavior
Functional relationship
when a target behavior changes when the independent variable is manipulated and is reproducible
AB design
experimental design with 2 phases, in which A is baseline and B is treatment
ABAB reversal design:
baseline and treatment are measured and observed twice
multiple baseline/ across subjects design
the same target behavior is observed amung 2 or more individuals
multiple baseline/across behavior design:
addresses a baseline and treatment for 2 or more behaviors of a single individual
multiple baseline/across setting design:
a baseline and treatment are set in 2 or more setting for one behavior measure in one individual
alternating treatment design:
baseline and trearment occur on alternative sessions until a trend emerges
changing criterion design:
specific goal levels are set for treatment phases
