| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Dimensions of ABA | GET A CAB |
| Generality | Extends behaviors across, setting, time, other behaviors |
| Effective | Improves behavior in a practical manner, not simply making a change that is statistically significant |
| Technological | Defines procedures clearly & in details so they are replicable |
| Applied | Socially significant behaviors. Also helps significant others so that they behave more positively towards the client |
| Conceptually Systematic | All procedures should derived from basic principles of behavior analysis from which they were derived |
| Analytical | Functional Relationship is demonstrated. Describes when the experimenter has demonstrated a functional relation between the manipulated events & a reliable change in some measurable dimension of the targeted behavior. |
| Behavioral | Observable events. The behavior one chooses must be the behavior in need of improvement. |
| Experimental Control | When a predictable change in behavior can be reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the individual's environment (IV). |
| 5 Main Experimental Designs | MC RAW-Multiple Baseline, Changing Criterion, Reversal, Alternating Treatments, Withdrawal |
| Multiple Baseline | Staggered implementation of the IV in a step-wise fashion across behaviors, settings, & subjects. Do not have to withdraw a treatment variable in this design |
| 5 Types of Multiple Baseline Designs | Multiple Baseline Across Settings, Behaviors, Subjects, Multiple Probe Design, Delayed Multiple Baseline Design |
| Multiple Baseline Across Behaviors | Two or more different behavior of SAME SUBJECT. Each subject serves as his/her own control. After steady baseline responding, the IV is applied to the first behavior, which other behaviors are kept in baseline |
| Multiple Baseline Across Settings | A single behavior is targeted in 2 or more different setting or conditions. After steady state baseline responding, the IV is applied to the first setting, while other setting are kept in baseline. |
| Multiple Baseline Across Subjects | One target behavior for 2 or more subjects in the SAME Setting. After steady state baseline responding, the IV is applied first subject, while other subject re kept in baseline. Most widely used multiple baseline design |
| Multiple Probe Design | Analyzes relation between the IV and acquisition of skills sequences. Employs a multiple baseline assessment strategy applied to the acquisition. Baseline data are not collected continuously. |
| Delayed Multiple Baseline Design | Initial baseline & intervention begin & subsequent baselines are added in a delayed or staggered fashion. |
| Changing Criterion Design | Experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by..A series of treatment phases consisting of successive & gradually changing criteria for reinforcement or punishment ..There is only ONE behavior; must be in the individual's repertoire |
| Reversal Design | Any experimental design in which the researcher REVERSES responding to a level obtained in a previous condition. Each reversal strengthens experimental control ABAB/BAB |
| 5 Types of Reversal Designs | Repeated Reversals, BAB, Multiple Treatment Design, NCR Reversal and DRO/DRI/DRA Reversal Technique |
| Alternating Treatments Design | Experimental design in which 2 or more conditions are presented in alternating succession independent of the level of responding & the differential effects on the target behavior are noted; compare 2 or more IVs to one another to determine the best IV |
| Repeated Reversals | Simple extensions of A-B-A-B; the more reversals, the stronger your evidence of control |
| BAB Reversal | Best design when your client displays severe & dangerous behaviors, as you do not wait to start IV with this design Disadvantage: sequence effects |
| Sequence effects | Effects on a subject's behavior in a given condition that are the result of the subject's experience with a prior condition |
| Multiple Treatment Design | A type of reversal design that compares 2 or more IVs are compared to baseline &/or to one another. You might see a C or D added into the reversal. Disadvantage: sequence effects |
| NCR Reversal Technique | Experimental technique for showing effects of NCR as a control condition instead of a baseline condition in which no reinforcement is provided; allows us to examine contingent reinforcement |
| DRO/DRI/DRA Reversal Technique | An experimental technique for showing the effects of reinforcement by using DRO, DRA, or DRI as a control condition instead of a baseline condition in which no reinforcement is provided. DRO- R+ following any bx other than target DRA-R+ alternative |
| Irreversibility | The level of behavior observed in an earlier phase cannot be reproduced even though experimental conditions are the same as they were during the earlier phase. |
| Internal Validity | The extent to which an experiment shows convincingly that changes in behavior are a function of the IV & not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables. |
| Confounding Variables | Any uncontrolled factor known or suspected to exert influence on the dependent variable |
| Extraneous Variable | Any aspect of the ENVIRONMENT that must be held constant to prevent unplanned environment variation |
| External Validity | Degree to which a study's results are generalizable to other subjects, settings, & /or behaviors. |
