Term
Definition
Experimental Design   Repeated, systematic presentation and removal of an independent variable (or IV) While measuring changes in the dependent variable (or DV) and holding other factors constant  
🗑
The primary goals of systematic experimental manipulation   To demonstrate a functional relation between the IV and DV and to evaluate the interventions once they are decided upon  
🗑
Functional relation   Changes in an antecedent or consequent stimulus class consistently alter a dimension of a response class  
🗑
Internal validity   The extent to which an analysis assures that measured changes in behavior are due to the manipulation and not due to uncontrolled extraneous variables.  
🗑
External validity   The extent to which a study’s results are generalizable to other subjects, settings, or behaviors.  
🗑
Threats to internal validity   History Maturation Testing Instrumentation Diffusion of treatment Regression towards the mean Selection bias Attrition  
🗑
History   Introduction of the IV may coincide with other events in the person's life  
🗑
Maturation   Natural developmental events of learning experiences may coincide with the introduction of the IV to produce the change  
🗑
Testing   Changes in the DV may have come about as a function of repeated exposure to the experimental arrangements (e.g. practice effects)  
🗑
Instrumentation   Changes may reflect modifications in the measurement systems rather than effects of the IV  
🗑
Diffusion of Treatment   Inadvertent, uncontrolled "seepage" of the treatment to control conditions or control subjects  
🗑
Regression towards the mean   Changes occurred because baseline measurements were NOT representative of the natural stare of events (less relevant in SCD because of repeated measure)  
🗑
Selection bias   The assignment of subject to groups may have biased the outcome even in the absence of any intervention (less relevant in SCD because each participant serves as own control)  
🗑
Attrition   The loss of subjects over time, especially if systematic, may influence the effects (less relevant in SCD because each participant serves as own control)  
🗑
Minimizing Validity Threats   Measurement Stability Immediacy Replication  
🗑
Single-Case Designs   The repeated and systematic presentation and removal of a treatment and measurement of behavior while holding other factors constant  
🗑
Baseline   Assessment of the dependent variable prior to the introduction or change of the independent variable  
🗑
Phase Change   Movement in the analysis from one level or kind of independent variable to the next level or kind of independent variable  
🗑
A-B Design   Baseline phase followed by a treatment phase effect is demonstrated when behavior changes from one phase to the next  
🗑
Withdrawal Design   Baseline is followed by a treatment condition.  
🗑
Reversal Design   An intervention is applied to the target behavior after a baseline phase  
🗑
Multiple Baseline Design   Two or more independent baselines are established. The IV is then separately introduced in a staggered fashion to each BL. When bx is stable for the first baseline, the IV is introduced on the second baseline, and so on  
🗑
Multiple probe technique   First baseline is continuous, but subsequent baseline data collection is conducted on an intermittent basis relative to the first baseline  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
