ABA Experimental Design Study Guide
with Complete Solutions
Whole-Interval recording - Correct Answer✔️✔️-Provides smaller estimate of frequency;
behavior is recorded only if it occurs throughout the entire interval.
Partial-Interval recording - Correct Answer✔️✔️-Provides greater estimate of frequency;
behavior is recorded if emitted at any point during the interval.
Prediction - Correct Answer✔️✔️-the idea that if the independent variable has no effect
on the dependent variable, the data path will remain unchanged across phases
Verification - Correct Answer✔️✔️-The confirmation that the dependent variable is
changing in a predicable fashion as the independent variable is systematically applied.
Reactivity - Correct Answer✔️✔️-An individual altering his or her behavior as a result of
being observed.
Maturation - Correct Answer✔️✔️-A threat to internal validity; the natural development of
the individual over time.
History - Correct Answer✔️✔️-A threat to internal validity; the passage of time and both
foreseen and unforeseen events
Replication - Correct Answer✔️✔️-The repeating of predictions and verifications within
the same study.
