D1- Distinguish between IV and DV Flashcards
Define & Identify IV & DV, Arrange IV to demonstrate effects & Review/ Interpret Data
What is an Independent Variable?
The arrangement of events by the experimenter to EXERT CONTROL over the target behavior.
What is a Dependent Variable?
Specifies the target BEHAVIOR and the dimension of that behavior that is being MEASURED.
To establish a functional relationships, dependent variables need to change adequately to reflect a relationship between it and the
INDEPENDENT Variable.
Demonstrating functional relationship requires the DV (target behavior) to be continuously measured over time, IV (treatment) be repeatedly presented and EXTRANEOUS variables be
CONTROLLED
Onset and Offset of intervention must _____ to a change in the behavior.
CORRESPOND
Experimental Control is demonstrated by the replication of the effect of the
FUNCTINAL RELATIONSHIP
Extraneous and Confounding Variables are environmental events that may influence the
DEPENDENT Variables
Confounding variables are a type of _____ variable and usually COOCCUR with the ___ variable.
EXTRANEOUS, INDEPENDENT
Measures the amount of a behavior that occurs under 1 environmental condition or treatment variable, but DOES NOT MANIPULATE that condition.
DESCRIPTIVE Analysis
Measures and COMPARES the amount of behavior that occurs under at least 2 environmental conditions or values of a treatment variable but DOES NOT MANIPULATE those conditions.
CORRELATIONAL Analysis
Systematically MANIPULATE an environmental condition or treatment variable by providing , withholding or changing the amount of it to compare the amount of behavior under 2 conditions.
EXPERIMENTAL Analysis
A reasoned GUESS that 2 events go together.
