,What is maturation in subject confounds? D Maturation is the inner changes of a participant as a result of natural growth through
time.
What is history in subject confounds? History is the changes of a subject due to changes in the world/environment at the
time.
What type of analysis are independent (IVs) compared Comparative Analysis
separately?
What analysis is a systematic assessment of two or more Component Analysis
IVs in a treatment package?
What are the additive effects of a component analysis?
Which study compares two or more IVs to see which is Comparative Analysis
more effective on the DV?
What happens to the IV in a parametric analysis? The IV dosage is varied (Think: The water intensity)
What happens to the IV in a non-parametric Analysis? IV is withdrawn or presented, and the effects of both conditions are compared to the
DV (Think: Spout turned off vs on)
In what type of analysis are IVs compared separately? Comparative analysis
What is the most commonly used experimental design? Multiple baseline
What is a con with multielement design? Possibility of multiple treatment interference
What are the three components to a good operational Objective, clear, and complete
definition?
What variation of multiple baseline can we use with Multiple probe design
irreversible behaviors?
What are the equal interval graphs used in ABA? Line, Bar, Cumulative, Scatterplot
, What is the nonequal interval graph used in ABA? Standard celeration chart
In a reversal design, the A phase is. ____ and the B phase A is Baseline (Think Antecendent) and B is Intervention (Think B= behavior change)
is ____
What are the weaker multiple baseline variations? Multiple Probe, Delayed, NonConcurrent
What occurs in the multiple probe baseline design? Intermittent or probes are taken instead of consecutive measures- has threat of
internal validity
What is a benefit of a multiple probe baseline design? Can present data when multiple data points are not available or too costly, or too
risky for client
Which graph is this an example of? Multiple Baseline
How do you show experimental control in a multiple Functional relationship is shown when there is a change in behavior when and only
baseline design? when the IV is introduced in that baseline.
What design is best for severe/dangerous behaviors? Multielement design/Alternating Treatment
What are four variations of basic intermittent schedules of Lag, Progressive Ratio, Delays, Differential
reinforcement?
What is a measurement Artifact? Data that represents a misleading picture because of the way it was measured
What does the policy Wyatt Vs Stickney Emphasize? A Federal court ruling that establishes involuntarily institutionalized individuals with
mental illness or disabilities have the right to minimum standards of care;
individualized treatment plans, safe and sanitary living conditions, and adequate
staffing.
What elements did Wyatt Vs Stickney Emphasize? 1. Humane psychological and physical environment
2. Eliminated unnecessary medication, physical restraint and isolation, and
unwanted treatment
3. qualified staff
4. Individualized plans
What does the federal ruling of Hancock Vs Avery Limiting TIME OUT procedures (think:HANdcuffs)
Emphasize?
In operant conditioning, stimulus control is a function of... antecedent AND consequence effects
