◍ The independent variable is:.
Answer: the intervention
◍ 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.
Answer: Evidence Based Practices
◍ A term synonymous with "intervention".
Answer: Independent Variable

behavior..
Answer: True
◍ A term synonymous with "behavior".
Answer: Dependent Variable
◍ The two dimensions of interest in behavior are: ________ and ________..
Answer: Time/Number
◍ Is considered high when there is clear experimental control.
Answer: Internal Validity

Answer: Discrete behaviors
◍ When this is demonstrated, we have verified that there is a functional
relation between the independent and dependent variables - that is, that the
change in the dependent variable (behavior) is causally (functionally) related
to the implementation of the independent variable.
