Multiple Baseline & Changing Criterion Designs

Question 1

Multiple baseline design

Answer 1

flexible tactics that enables researchers to analyze the effects of an independent variable across multiple BXs, settings, and/or subjects without withdrawing the treatment variable to verify that the improvements in BX were a result of treatment

Question 2

Multiple baseline across BX designs

Answer 2

concurrent measurement of 2 or more bXs of a singe participant. After steady baseline, apply treatment to one BX while maintaining baseline for the other BX(s).

Question 3

Multiple baseline across setting design

Answer 3

a singe BX of a person or group is targeted in 2 or more different settings or conditions
-when maximum BX change has been achieved, more to next condition

Question 4

Multiple baseline across subjects design

Answer 4

one target BX is selected for 2 or more subjects (or groups) in the same setting

Question 5

Multiple probe design

Answer 5

a method for analyzing the relation between the independent variable and the acquisition of a successive approximation or task sequence.

Question 6

delayed multiple baseline design

Answer 6

initial baseline and intervention are begun, and subsequent baselines are added in a staggered or delayed fashion

Question 7

changing criterion design

Answer 7

initial baseline observations on a single target BX. Baseline phase is followed by implementation of a treatment program in each of a series of treatment phases. Each treatment phase is associated with a step-wise change in criterion rate for the target BX.

Question 8

Multielement design

Answer 8

refer to alternating treatment design

concurrent schedules design Simultaneous treatment design
