Terms in this set (86)
evidence-based practice A term used to describe when an intervention has
gone through rigorous, high quality
experimentation and has been considered to be
of value for specific individuals and/or behaviors
of interest
Independent Variable intervention
dependent variable behavior
internal validity Is considered high when there is clear
experimental control
, experimental control When this is demonstrated, we have verified that
there is functional relation between the
independent and dependent variables- that is,
that the change in dependent variable (behavior)
is casually (functionally) related to the
implementation of the independent variable
(intervention).
Functional Relation Visually demonstrated (through visual analysis of
the graphed data) control of the behavior by the
intervention.
Reliability consistency of an experiment
Validity accuracy of an experiment
external validity a term referring to the replication of the same or
similar results from an experiment; in other words,
the degree to which findings have generality
across studies.
social validity refers to the socially significant behavior of
interest/focus of research
Demonstration question/analysis A basic experiment examining whether an
intervention is effective at changing (increasing
or decreasing) the behavior if interest.
Comparative/Comparison experiment examining which of two or more
question/analysis intervention are effective at changing (increasing
or increasing) the behavior of interest
