D05 Use Single-Subject Experimental Designs Part 5 Flashcards
Which of the following provides the most convincing demonstration of experimental control for a behavior targeted for decrease?
Should have more replications and data should consistently hover just below or meet the criterion line
Which of the following criteria would most likely indicate experimental control in a changing criterion design?
10, 14, 16, 24, 22, 28
For which situation might you use a changing criterion design? Evaluating the effect of
A contingency contract on light head tapping
With a changing criterion design, demonstration of a functional relation can be enhanced by
All the above:
Instituting the size of criterion changes.
Varying the size of criterion changes.
Changing the criterion only after stability is achieved.
Which of the following criteria would most likely indicate experimental control in a changing criterion design?
10, 14, 16, 22, 24, 32
Which of the following provides the most convincing demonstration of experimental control?
The option in which the criterion reverts to a higher rate is correct
In a changing criterion design,
Each phase must be long enough to establish stable responding
“A functional relation is demonstrated when rate changes correspond to the requirements of the contingencies” characterizes which design?
Changing criterion
The researcher collected baseline measures of exercise duration until measures were stable. What’s the next step to implement a changing criterion design?
Implement a procedure that requires a slightly higher exercise duration for reinforcement of recording exercise duration than the average during baseline
In a changing criterion design,
All the above:
Behaviors that are slower to change require longer phases.
Each phase must be long enough to establish stable responding.
The length of each phase should vary.
Which of the following criteria would most likely indicate experimental control in a changing criterion design?
10, 12, 16, 24, 20, 26
The researcher collected baseline measures of exercise duration until measures were stable and then implemented a procedure that required a slightly higher exercise duration for reinforcement than the baseline average. What’s the next step to implement a changing criterion design?
Continue to collect intervention measures until they are stable
The researcher collected baseline measures of exercise duration. What’s the next step to implement a changing criterion design?
Continue to collect baseline measures until exercise duration is stable
In a changing criterion design, a larger magnitude change
Provides more evidence of experimental control than a small change
An experimental design that employs multiple standards of responding as the basis for reinforcement or punishment is the
Changing criterion design
