mod 10 Multiple Baseline and Changing Criterion Research Designs (Lugo)

Question 1

If you are measuring the effects of an intervention on three different classroom behaviors for a single student, this is an example of which multiple baseline form?

Multiple baseline across settings
Multiple baseline across behaviors
Multiple baseline across participants
Multiple baseline across implementers

Answer 1

Multiple baseline across behaviors

Question 2

The fact that the data paths in the green boxes remain unchanged after the independent variable is implemented for Person A is an example of:

Answer 2

Verification

Question 3

When should the independent variable be applied for Participant #2 in a multiple baseline across participants design?

-At the same time as the application of the independent variable for Participant #1
-When you have collected 3 data points for Participant #1 in the treatment phase
-When steady state responding is reached for Participant #1 in the treatment phase
-When you have collected 3 data points for Participant #2 in the baseline phase

Answer 3

-When steady state responding is reached for Participant #1 in the treatment phase

Question 4

A ____________ design is appropriate to use when the extended recording of baseline data is unnecessary or inefficient.

Answer 4

multiple probe

Question 5

True or False: A multiple baseline design involves the implementation of a different independent variable across participants, behaviors, or settings.

Answer 5

False

Question 6

When should you increase the criterion in a changing criterion design?

When another participant’s responding is consistently meeting the current criterion
After 3 sessions
When the current criterion level of responding is consistently being met
At any time

Answer 6

When the current criterion level of responding is consistently being met

Question 7

True or False: In a changing criterion design, you can move back to a lower criterion.

Answer 7

True

Question 8

When you increase the criterion for reinforcement in a changing criterion design, you would like to see the data ____________.

increase in variability
return to baseline level
remain unchanged
hover around the new criterion

Answer 8

hover around the new criterion

Question 9

What are some instances where a changing criterion design would be appropriate? Check all that apply.

When you are trying to increase the accuracy of a response
When you are trying to teach a new response that is not in the participant’s repertoire
When you are shaping behavior
When you are trying to increase the rate of a response

Answer 9

When you are trying to increase the rate of a response

Question 10

The green box labeled 70%, after the 100% intervention, is an example of verification because

Answer 10

We already have data at the 70% criterion, so the data in the green box verify the prediction that the data would look similar to that seen previously at the 70% criterion.
