Q

3 primary reasons to assess agreement

A
  1. For consistency
  2. Minimizes biases
  3. When agreement is high we know that the behavior is well defined

Q

Agreement vs. accuracy

A

Agreement- how well the data from separate observers corresponds

Accuracy- whether the observers data reflect the actual performance

Q

Multiple baseline contributions

A
  • shows that the intervention changed the behavior without having to reverse the intervention. It also can be used to change multiple behaviors within one study

Q

Limitations to MBL

A
  • Changing one behavior can influence change in another behavior.
  • across setting, sometimes generalization from a behavior can occur
  • across individuals- if individuals are allowed to watch then it can influence their behavior.
  • prolonged baseline. Ethical

Q

Characteristics of changing criterion design

A
  • one baseline phase
  • when behavior meets criterion the next phase begins
  • behavior improves in increments

Q

Major contributions of changing criterion

A
  • used to increase non existing behaviors or lowing a behavior
  • uses sub phases
  • exercising example

Q

Limitations of CC

A
  • if the behavior increases to quickly then this throws out the control
  • the control of the experiment is based on whether the behavior meets the exact criterion.

Q

3 Guidelines for CC

A
  1. Proceed gradually. Slower is better.
  2. Each change needs to be large enough to show a noticeable change in behavior. More exact behavior is to criteria the better
  3. Can be different sizes

Q

Rationale for multiple element

A

To show how clients perform differently during specific treatment conditions. (Teaching new sight words with different methods). Happens during same phase.

Q

Problems with multiple treatment

A
  1. Omitting baseline- if the treatments don’t show any difference between each other then there is no way to know if they both worked or both didn’t work.
  2. Type of interventions- has to fit around behaviors that can shift rapidly
  3. Discriminability of the interventions: client needs to show that they see a difference between the interventions.
  4. # of interventions- more interventions= more time
  5. Multiple treatment interference- one treatment might be influenced by the others
