PASS BIG BCBA Exam - AKA's for Experimental Design Single-Subject Designs AKA - Single-Case Designs Single-Case Designs AKA - Within-Subject Designs Within-Subject Designs AKA - Intra-Subject... Designs Most Widely Used Design - Multiple Baseline Design Prediction - The anticipated outcome of presently unknown measurement. Affirmation of the consequent - If the IV were not applied, the behavior, as indicated by baseline data, would not change. The experimenter predicts the IV will change the behavior. We do this of a previously predicted level of baseline responding by termination or withdrawal of the treatment variable. - Verification This is the essence of believability. Shows reliability of behavior change; we can make it happen again! It is accomplished by reintroducing the IV. - Replication When it is UNETHICAL or impractical to reverse conditions or when the behavior is irreversible, use this design instead of a reversal design. - Multiple Baseline Design. How to demonstrate experimental design with Multiple Baseline Design? - a functional relation requires a change in behavior with the onset of the intervention. The more replication (settings, subjects, behaviors), the more convincing the demonstration. Advantages of Multiple Baseline Design - Successful intervention does not have to be removed, evaluates generalization and is easy to implement. Disadvantages of Multiple Baseline Design - A functional relationship is NOT directly shown in this design. The effectiveness of the IV is demonstrated, but not information regarding the function of the target behavior. IV may be delayed for certain ex's, settings, or subjects. Takes resources to implement properly. The behavior that this design presents must be in the clients repertoire - Changing Criterion Design Advantages of Changing Criterion Design - It does not require reversal of improved behavior and it enables an experimental analysis within the context of a gradually improving behavior. *****************CONTINUED [Show More]
