Q

Changing Criterion Design

A

An experimental design in which an initial BL phase is followed by a series of tx phases consisting of successive and gradually changing criteria for SR or punishment; experimental control evidenced by extent the level responding changes to conform to each new criterion.

Q

Multiple Treatment Interference

A

The effects of one treatment on a subject’s behavior being confounding by the influence of another treatment administered in the same study

17
Q

Multiple Treatment Reversal Design

A

Comparing the effects of two or more experimental conditions to baseline and/or to one another

18
Q

Practice Effects

A

Improvements in performance resulting from repeated opportunities to emit the behavior

19
Q

Prediction

A

The anticipated outcome of a presently unknown or future measurement

20
Q

Replication

A

Repeating a previous experiment

21
Q

Reversal Design

A

A type of single-subject design that involves repeated alternations between a baseline period and a treatment period

22
Q

Sequence Effects

A

The effects on a subject’s behavior in a given condition the are the result of the subject’s experience with a prior condition

23
Q

Single-Case Designs

A

Experimental studies conducted with a single individual

24
Q

Treatment Drift

A

The application of the IV differs from the way it was applied at the study’s outset

25
Q

Treatment Integrity

A

The extent to which the IV is implemented as planned

26
Q

Treatment Package

A

When a behavioral intervention consists of multiple components

27
Q

Type I Error

A

False positive. The researcher concludes that the IV had an effect on the DV, when in reality it did not

28
Q

Type II Error

A

False negative. The researcher concludes that the IV did not have an effect on the DV, when in reality it did

29
Q

Verification

A

Demonstrating that the prior level of baseline responding would have remained unchanged.

30
Q

Withdrawal Design

A

An effective treatment is sequentially or partially withdrawn to promote the maintenance of behavior changes. Synonymous with A-B-A-B design
