Question 1

Baseline Design

Answer 1

Focuses on the behavior of a single subject both within and across the experimental treatments and does not rely on averaging to deal with uncontrolled variability

Question 2

Behavioral Baseline

Answer 2

The behavior of interest is sampled repeatedly over time and plotted

Question 3

Stability Criterion

Answer 3

Objective rule for deciding that the baseline has stabilized

Question 4

Baseline Phase

Answer 4

Used to assess behavior in the absence of the treatment

Question 5

Intervention Phase

Answer 5

Used to assess behavior during application of the treatment

Question 6

Intervention Phase

Answer 6

Used to assess behavior during application of the treatment

Question 7

ABAB

Answer 7

Exposing subjects to each phases twice were A and B represent the two phases

Question 8

Intrasubject Replication

Answer 8

Allows you to establish the reliability of your observations within each phase

Question 9

Reversal Strategy

Answer 9

When you move from baseline to intervention and then back to baseline and is designed to assess whether any changes in baseline level produced by the intervention are reversible

Question 10

Intersubject Replication

Answer 10

Establishes the external validity. Different subjects show similar changes in baseline levels across the experimental conditions

Question 11

Systematic Replications

Answer 11

Extensions that incorporate aspects of the original experiment while changing others

Question 12

Direct Replication

Answer 12

Replicate the original study exactly

Question 13

Multiple Baseline Designs

Answer 13

Provide one solution

Question 14

Changing Criterion Design

Answer 14

Slowly introducing changes
