Unit 7 Terms

Question 1

Answer 1

comparison design; single- participant research de- sign that consists of a baseline followed by a treatment

Question 2

ABAB

Answer 2

ABAB design: also called a repeated treatments or replication design; an ABA design with treatment re- peated after the withdrawal phase

Question 3

Single-subject research

Answer 3

a type of quantitative research that involves studying in detail the behavior of each individual of small number of participants.
Not a single participant but one at a time comparing changes to baseline.

Question 4

Baseline

Answer 4

the measure of behavior before treatment that establishes a reference point for evaluating the effect of treatment

Question 5

Treatment

Answer 5

application of a variable to a subject.

Question 6

changing-criterion design:

Answer 6

research design that introduces successively more stringent criteria for reinforcement to see if behavior change coincides with the changing criteria

Question 7

Multiple baseline design

Answer 7

research design that introduces different experimental manipulations to see if changes coincide with manipulation. Three types of manipulation: behaviors, subjects, and settings.
