VERIFED ACE THE TEST



ABAB reversal design - ANSWER ✔✔A single case design in which

baseline and intervention conditions are repeated with the same person


Alternating treatments design - ANSWER ✔✔a single case design in

which two or more interventions alternate systematically


Antecedents - ANSWER ✔✔environmental events that occur before a

behavior


Applied behavior analysis - ANSWER ✔✔the attempt to solve

behavior problems by providing antecedents and/or consequences that

change behavior

, Aversion therapy - ANSWER ✔✔a form of sensitization training in

Baseline - ANSWER ✔✔A period during which the target behavior is

recorded, but no attempt is made to modify it.


Behavior - ANSWER ✔✔Anything a person does that can be

observed.


Behavior analysis - ANSWER ✔✔The science of behavior change;
