Q#4 CH 10

Question 1

research design

Answer 1

how you set up the different condition for your experiment (the number conditions, the sequence of the conditions)

Question 2

the purpose of research design

Answer 2

is to separate the effects of the independent variable from everything else. (the depended variable)

Question 3

how do you accomplish the purpose of research design

Answer 3

you need at least two conditions that are identical except for the presence or absence of the independent variable.

Question 4

what are the four components of research design?

Answer 4

1. at least have one subject (for every subject added you need to consider the history, age, experience because you want to keep similar to whatever extent possible)
2. at least have one dependent variable
3. at least have one experimental setting
4. at least have one independent variable ( this is made of multiple components)

Question 5

what are the three ways research design can be?

Answer 5

1. Simultaneous
2. sequential
3. or both

Question 6

simultaneous research design

Answer 6

conditions are presented at approximately the same point in time. (allows you to comper data collected at the same point in time)

Question 7

sequential research design

Answer 7

the conditions are presented in some predetermined order across time. (typical aba design)

Question 8

what research design can you run if you only have one subject, one setting, one dependent variable?

Answer 8

you can only run a sequential design.

Question 9

what research design can you run if you have more than one subject more than one setting and or more than one depended variable

Answer 9

you can also run simultaneously design

Question 10

what is called when it is both a simultaneous and sequential design?

Answer 10

multiple baselines design

Question 11

Staver multiple baselines design

Answer 11

introduce your different condition at different points in time. (it help rule out the effect of time)

Question 12

when you have found the condition that is sufficient to produce a functional relation

Answer 12

you have demonstrated a functional relation

Question 13

what are the two general types of replication

Answer 13

1. direct replication when you reproducing the same study (gives you information about the reliability of the effect
2. systematic replication is when you reproduce the study with some changes (gives you information reliability of effect and generality of your effect)

Question 14

there are five levels of replication

Answer 14

1. within session replication ( like pushing a lever)
2. within a phase is a condition (like 30-minute experiment and repeat for all the other days)
3. within an experiment replication (add the second baseline is a replication of the first)
4. within a literature replication (study in the same disaplin)
5. across literature replication
