Alternating treatment design

Question 15

Using a multi-element design, you want to compare peer mediated reinforcement to teacher mediated reinforcement. Which might you do?

Answer 15

Make sure the student can see who delivers each reinforcer

Question 16

Alternating treatments design data indicating behavior at a particular level?

Do not necessarily reflect behavior at that level in the absence of the other condition

Question 17

With an alternating treatments/ multielement design

You might see a change due to multiple treatment interference in the previous condition
