Unit 8 Quiz Flashcards
An experiment has a high degree of ______________ when it shows convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the independent variable and not the result of unknown variables.
Internal validity
Identify the definition of an alternating-treatments design
An experimental design in which the replications involve presenting the different values of the IV in an alternating sequence under the same general conditions or in the same experimental phase.
In a(n) _____________ research design, baseline and treatment conditions are conducted in rapid succession and compared to each other.
Alternating treatments
In an alternating-treatments design the extent of any differential effects produced by two treatments is determined by the ___________ distance between their respective data paths and quantified by the ________ axis scale.
Vertical, vertical
This design compares two or more distinct treatments while their effects on the target behavior are measured.
Alternating-treatments design
This design is predicated on the behavioral principle of stimulus discrimination and allows for the comparison of two or more different treatments.
