Mod 10 JPG Ch13 - Multiple Baseline Designs

Question 1

A within-subject design that includes an evaluation across multiple participants, settings, or behaviors is called a ___________________ design.

[Hint: 2 words]

Answer 1

multiple baseline

Question 2

The main difference between single and multiple baseline designs is that multiple baseline designs:

-include an evaluation of multiple extraneous variables
-require more than one participant, behavior, or setting for comparison
-do not include a baseline condition
-involve clear measurement procedures

Answer 2

-require more than one participant, behavior, or setting for comparison

Question 3

Multiple baseline designs use two or more baselines in a coordinated way to allow _______________ comparisons within and across baselines.

responding in control versus treatment
research design
control
baseline responding

Answer 3

responding in control versus treatment

Question 4

At minimum, the Multiple Baseline Design compares two of which single-baseline designs?

changing criterion
multielement
AB design
reversal

Answer 4

AB design

Question 5

In a concurrent multiple baseline design, two baselines occur:

after a reversal phase
at different times independently
in rapid succession
at the same time

Answer 5

at the same time

Question 6

A nonconcurrent multiple baseline design is a comparison of simple _________ arrangements.

Answer 6

AB

Question 7

Each of the following are different forms of multiple baseline designs, except:

multiple baseline design across settings
multiple baseline design across behaviors
multiple baseline design across times
multiple baseline design across subjects

Answer 7

multiple baseline design across times

Question 8

Looking at the figure below, and assuming that extraneous variables uniquely present during the experimental condition have had the opportunity to influence other behavior, what requirement has not been met to qualify this as a multiple baseline design?

Answer 8

The period of overlap between the experimental condition and the second baseline must be sufficient to permit the response class under the control condition to be influenced by any variables that may do so.

Question 9

By delaying or temporally staggering the introduction of the intervention condition in the second baseline, the investigator creates an opportunity to compare responding under the ___ condition in the second baseline with responding under the
_____ condition in the first baseline.

Answer 9

control
treatment

Question 10

Each of the following are requirements for concurrent multiple baseline designs except:

baselines must be dependent on each other
overlap must be long enough to allow effects of extraneous factors to emerge
control must be ongoing in one baseline when intervention occurring in another
sensitivity of baselines must be demonstrated

Answer 10

baselines must be dependent on each other

Question 11

Compared to a concurrent multiple baseline, a nonconcurrent multiple baseline design is _________________ in terms of ability to make conclusions about the independent variable.

Answer 11

weaker

Question 12

For the concurrent multiple baseline design, the term “multiple baseline” refers to multiple baselines occurring:

with a delay between each other
at the same time
with a reversal between them
before one another, in sequence

Answer 12

at the same time

Question 13

In all multiple baseline designs, it is important to:

plan for and control for extraneous variables as much as possible
implement baselines in different settings at the same time
implement baselines with different participants at the same time

Answer 13

plan for and control for extraneous variables as much as possible

Question 14

A behavior analyst is interested in using a multiple baseline design to evaluate the effects of a token board on academic engagement and on-task behavior in both math and reading classes for a child in 3rd grade. Based on this information, the behavior analyst should use the multiple baseline across ___________________ design.
distance
setting
participants
behaviors

Answer 14

setting

Question 15

A behavior analyst is interested in using a multiple baseline design to evaluate the effects of a time out procedure for multiple children with a history of aggression in a classroom. Based on this information, the behavior analyst should use the multiple baseline across ____________________ design.
behaviors
participants
distance
setting

Answer 15

participants

Question 16

A behavior analyst is interested in using a multiple baseline design to evaluate the effects of praise and prompting for a child learning different types of signs in sign language. Based on this information, the behavior analyst should use the multiple baseline across _________________ design.
distance
participants
setting
behaviors

Answer 16

behaviors

Question 17

The length of overlap in a multiple baseline design should be long enough to allow for effects of _________ _________to emerge in the control phase.

[Hint: 2 words]

Answer 17

extraneous variables

Question 18

If using a nonconcurrent baseline design, investigators should be clear that baselines are not concurrent so that data are not:
simultaneous
sequential
misleading
reoccurring

Answer 18

misleading
