A three-phase experimental design consisting of an initial baseline phase (A) until steady state
responding (or counter therapeutic trend) is obtained, an intervention phase in which the
treatment condition (B) is implemented until the behavior has changed and steady state
responding is obtained, and a return to baseline conditions (A) by withdrawing the independent
variable to see whether responding "reverses" to levels observed in the initial baseline phase. -
Answer A-B-A design
An experimental design consisting of (1) an initial baseline phase (A) until steady state
responding (or countertherapeutic trend) is obtained, (2) an initial intervention phase in which
the treatment variable (B) is implemented until the behavior has changed and steady state
responding is obtained, (3) a return to baseline conditions (A) by withdrawing the independent
variable to see whether responding "reverses" to levels observed in the initial baseline phase,
and (4) a second interventio - Answer A-B-A-B design
A research design consisting of a baseline and treatment phase followed by withdrawal of
treatment (the second baseline) and a second implementation of the treatment. - Answer A-B-
A-B reversal design
An experimental design that corresponds to an A-B-A-B design, where the second baseline is
replaced with a placebo phase (B). - Answer A-B-C-B design
A three-phase experimental design that begins with the treatment condition. After steady state
responding has been obtained during the initial treatment phase (B), the treatment variable is
withdrawn (A) to see whether responding changes in the absence of the independent variable.
The treatment variable is then reintroduced (B) in an attempt to recapture the level of
responding obtained during the first treatment phase. - Answer B-A-B design
The variable in an experiment which is measured to determine whether it changes as a result of
manipulations of the independent variable. - Answer dependent variable
An experimental technique that demonstrates the effects of reinforcement. Differential
reinforcement of an incompatible or alternative behavior are used as a control condition,
instead of a no-reinforcement condition. - Answer DRI or DRA reversal technique
An experimental technique for demonstrating the effects of reinforcement by using differential
reinforcement of other behavior as a control condition instead of a no-reinforcement (baseline)
condition. - Answer DRO reversal technique
, A relationship between a behavior and an environmental event (or events) in which the
occurrence of the behavior is controlled by the occurrence of the environmental event. -
Answer functional relationship
A process in which the behavior occurs in the presence of antecedent stimuli that are similar in
some way to the discriminative stimulus present when the behavior was reinforced. - Answer
generalization
A visual representation of the occurrence of behavior over time. - Answer graph
The variable that is systematically manipulated by the researcher in an experiment to see
whether changes produce reliable changes to the dependent variable. - Answer independent
variable
A situation that occurs when the level of responding observed in a previous phase cannot be
reproduced even though the experimental conditions are the same as they were during the
earlier phase. - Answer irreversibility
Based on a Cartesian plane, a two-dimensional area formed by the intersection of two
perpendicular lines, where any point within the plane represents a specific relation between the
two dimensions described by the intersecting lines. - Answer line graph
Continuation of the behavior change for a long period after the termination of a behavior
modification program. - Answer maintenance
The effects of one treatment on a subject's behavior being confounded by the influence of
another treatment administered in the same study. - Answer multiple treatment
An experimental control technique that demonstrates the effects of reinforcement by using
noncontingent reinforcement as a control condition instead of a no-reinforcement (baseline)
condition. - Answer NCR reversal technique
In behavior modification, this specifies the timing of the baseline and treatment phases for one
or more people in an attempt to demonstrate a functional relationship between the treatment
and the behavior. - Answer research design
The effects of one treatment on a subject's behavior being confounded by the influence of
another treatment administered in the same study. - Answer sequence effects
