Answer 13

Long enough to achieve a steady state of representative responding

Requires at least 3 phases

Question 15

Equal-interval Graphs

Answer 15

AKA Arithmetic Charts, Add-Subtract Charts.

Graphs in which the distance between any 2 consecutive points on both the X-axis & Y-axis is always the same.

All intervals are the same size.

Line graphs,

Bar Graphs,

Cumulative Records,

and Scatter Plots.

Question 16

Answer 16

reversal

ABAB

Question 17

types of visual display

Answer 17

Question 18

Name the graph

Answer 18

Equal interval graph

Question 19

Name the graph

Answer 19

Alternating Treatment design

AKA

Simultaneous treatment design,

Concurrent Schedules Design,

Multi-element design,

Multi-element design,

Multiple schedules design

Question 20

Use a Mulitielement Design when

Answer 20

An experimental design in which two or more conditions are presented in rapidly alternating succession independent of the level of responding and the differential effects on the target behavior are noted

Question 21

Advantage of a Mulitelement Design

Answer 21

ADVANTAGES:

• nDoes not require treatment withdrawal
• nSpeedy comparison
• nMinimizes sequence effects
• nCan be used with unstable data
• nUsed to assess generalization of effects
• nCan begin immediately without baseline data

Question 22

Disadvangtages of Alternating Treatment Design

Answer 22

Multiple treatment interference

Limited capacity of the design

Behaviors selected to alternate need to be significantly different from one another
