________may not represent the performance of the individual subject group data mask variability group data do not represent real behavioral processes and between group designs, lack interest, subject, replication.
Between group experiment
When a behavioral intervention consist of multiple components, it is termed a treatment ______
Package
A ________analysis is an experimental design to identify the active elements of a treatment package, the relative contributions of different components in a treatment package and the necessity of sufficiency of treatment components.
Component analysis
_______ component analysis the investigator presents the treatment package and then systematically removes components if the treatments effectiveness weans when a component is removed, the research has identified a necessary component.
Dropout
Add in component analysis, assesses components, individually, or in combination before the complete treatment package is _______
Presented
An experimental ______strength is determined by the extent which it demonstrates a reliable effect repeated manipulation of the independent variable produces a consistent pattern of behavior and eliminates, or reduces the likelihood that factors other than the independent variable produced behavior, change, confounding variables.
Design
Implicit in the term experimental control, which is often used to signify a research ability to reliably produce a specific behavior change by manipulating an independent variable is the idea that the researcher controls the subjects behavior. This is an accurate because the experiment can only control only some aspects of the subjects ______
Environment
Uncontrolled factors known that are suspected to have exerted influence on the dependent variable are called confounding variables much of the researchers efforts during the course of study are aimed that identifying and controlling confounding _______
Variables
_______which refers to a change that takes place in a subject over the course of experiment is a potential confounding variable. For example, a subjects improved her performance during the latter phase of a study, may result from physical growth or acquisition of academics social or other behaviors..
Maturation
A double blind ______procedure eliminates, confounding by subjects expectations, parent and teacher expectations, differential treatment by others and observed bias
Control
When either the subject or the observer know whether the independent variable is present or absent from a session to session, this type of control procedure is called a double blind ______
Control
Treatment ________refers to the extent to which the independent variable is implemented as planned.
Integrity
Although often used interchangeably with treatment, integrity, procedural, fidelity or accurately refers to the extent to which procedures in all conditions of the experiment, including baseline are correctly ___________
Implemented
_______ drift occurs when the application of the independent variable differs from the way it was applied at the studies onset.
Treatment
Wolf recommended that social ________of an applied behavior analysis study assessed in three ways the social significance of the behavior, change, goals, the appropriateness of the intervention and the social importance of the.
Validity
