Question 1

A condition or phase of an experiment in which the independent variable is not present.

Answer 1

baseline condition

Question 2

In behavior analytic research, usually a response class, at least one dimension of which is measured throughout all phases of a study.

Answer 2

DV

Question 3

The management or control of different variables in a study, including the independent variable and extraneous variables.

Answer 3

experimental control

Question 4

Arrangements of control and experimental conditions that permit comparisons that help identify the effects of the independent variable on the dependent variable.

Answer 4

Experimental (research) design

Question 5

A condition or phase in which the independent variable is present.

Answer 5

Experimental, treatment, intervention, or independent variable condition

Question 6

An experimentally determined relation that shows that the dependent variable depends on or is a function of particular variables, ideally the independent variable and nothing else.

Answer 6

functional relation

Question 7

An environmental event whose presence or absence is manipulated by the investigator in order to determine its effects on the dependent variable.

Answer 7

IV

Question 8

Repetition of any parts of an experiment.

Answer 8

replication

Question 9

Repetition of an entire phase during the course of an experiment. Requires session-by-session display of data for each phase.

Answer 9

replication across a condition or phase

Question 10

Repetition of phenomena under different conditions across different fields of science.

Answer 10

Replication across research literatures.

Question 11

Repetition of the same condition many times in succession throughout a phase. Requires session-by-session display of data.

Answer 11

replication across sessions

Question 12

Repetition of a basic element of procedure throughout each session. Requires trial-by-trial display of data.

Answer 12

replication across trials

Question 13

Repetition of an earlier study, usually by other researchers.

Answer 13

replication of entire studies

Question 14

Repetition of results, usually as an outcome of repeating procedures.

Answer 14

reproduction

Question 15

The extent to which the independent variable or other key features of a condition are consistently implemented as designed.

Answer 15

Treatment integrity (procedural integrity, independent variable integrity)
