Unit 6

Question 1

the treatment phase is divided into subphases.
Each subphase involves a different behavioral criterion (ie., a different value of the IV).
Criterion in each subphase more closely resembles the terminal behavioral goal.

Answer 1

Changing Criterion Design

Question 2

Implement these to bolster demonstration of experimental control.
Changing criteria to a previous subphase value and observing that behavior reverts to that criterion.

Answer 2

Bi-Directional Change

Question 3

Systematically withdrawing treatment components to see if behavior change is maintained.

Answer 3

Component Analysis/Sequential Withdrawal

Question 4

The systematic examination of the effects of a range of values of the IV

Answer 4

Parametric Analysis

Question 5

Evaluate whether treatment effects are evident before treatment occurs

Answer 5

Probes

Question 6

Events not related to the IV that may affect the dependent variable.

Answer 6

Extraneous variables

Question 7

An uncontrolled factor known or suspected to exert influence on the DV

Answer 7

Confound

Question 8

the effects on a person’s behavior in one condition can be influenced by the subject’s experience in a prior condition

Answer 8

Sequence Effects

Question 9

Concluding that the independent variable has produced a change in the dependent variable when in fact the relation does not exist.

Answer 9

Type I Error or False Positive

Question 10

Concluding that the independent variable has not produced a change in the dependent variable when in fact it has.

Answer 10

Type II Error or False Negative

Question 11

The independent variables are implemented as dictated by the research or treatment plan.

Answer 11

Procedural Integrity

Question 12

Examination of the acceptability or viability of a programmed intervention

Answer 12

Social Validity
