Q

Mixed designs

A
  • 2 IVs
  • measure effect of 1st IV with between design
  • measure effects off 2nd IV with within design

Q

Descriptive research

A
  • group trends
  • group differences
  • relationships among variables

Q

comparative research

A
  • compare 2 or more classes of subjects at one point in time
  • similarities and differences
  • cannot draw conclusions about cause and effects because other variable may be at play

longitudinal

A
  • follow groups of subjects over time
  • within subjects
  • expensive, time consuming

16
Q

semi-longitudinal

A
  • divide age span in overlapping sections

- follow subjects in each section from youngest to oldest age in each section

17
Q

cross-sectional

A

-groups of subjects from different age groups

18
Q

correlational research

A
  • relationship between 2 or more variables
  • how do changes in one variable predict change in another?
  • two variables measured, not manipulated
  • no conclusions about cause and effects
19
Q

survey research

A
  • prevalence of a factor (attitudes, conditions, practices)
  • questionnaires, interviews, combo
  • sample population and generalize to whole
20
Q

retrospective research

A

-examine previously collected data

21
Q

single subject designs

A

-comparison of treatment effects on

a single subject
small number of single subjects

22
Q

pretreatment measurement

A

baseline

23
Q

posttreatment measurement

A

outcome

24
Q

components of single subject designs

A 
A= the baseline and withdrawal phases
B= treatment phase
25
Q

SSD-ABAB

A
  1. A = measure baseline
  2. Apply treatment
  3. B = measure treatment
  4. Withdraw treatment
  5. A = Measure effect of withdrawal
  6. Re-introduce treatment
  7. B = measure effects of reintro
26
Q

analysis of SSD data

A

-rely on visual analysis of graphed data rather than statistical analyses to make decisions about significance of the treatment approach

27
Q

ABAB-possible extraneous variables and how to control for them

A
  • maturation
  • timing of training
  • amount of training
  • controlled by using multiple baseline
28
Q

SSD multiple baselines

A

-uses a varying time schedule that allows the researcher to determine if the application of treatment is truly influencing the behavior

29
Q

compare single subject vs group designs

A
  • variables are manipulated
  • the effect of IV on DV is measured
  • SS demonstrate experimental control differently than group designs
30
Q

experimental control in SSD

A

-SUBJECT serves as his own control and is administered all condition of the experimental condition and then all conditions are re-ad ministered

31
Q

experimental control in group designs

A
  • two groups (control and experimental)
  • random selection of subjects from a larger population
  • statistical stats
