Question 1

the degree to which a researcher can be confident that an independent variable is what changed the behavior, not extraneous behaviors

Answer 1

Internal Validity

Question 2

the degree to which a reliable and socially valid functional relation holds under different conditions
-established through replication of experiments
-replicated procedures; reproduced results

Answer 2

External Validity

Question 3

the extent to which a researcher maintains precise control of the independent variable by presenting it, withdrawing it and or varying its value, and also eliminating of holding all confounding and extraneous variables.
-systematically apply and withdraw one variable while holding all others constant

Answer 3

Experimental Control

Question 4

demonstration of experimental control over the dependent variable by the independent variable
-establishing a consistent effect on a dependent variable by systematically manipulating an independent variable

Answer 4

Functional Relation

Question 5

-used to establish the degree to which intervention is implemented with fidelity
-are researchers implementing the intervention the way it was intended and designed?
-is the independent variable or intervention implemented as supposed to be?

Answer 5

Treatment Intergrity

Question 6

-referred to as IOA
-is the dependent variable measured as it is supposed to be?
-how consistent data recorders are when collecting data

Answer 6

Reliability

Question 7

-the meaningfulness of experimental interpretations under circumstances different from those that generated the data
-referees to predictions in interpretations about future experimental relations
-addresses the question of whether the same results would be obtained even if certain features were different

Answer 7

Generality

Question 8

Reliable vs. General

Answer 8

Reliable- same results with same procedures
General- same results with DIFFERENT procedures
