Chapter 7 - Cooper

ABA

TermDefinition
Correlation When systematic variation between 2 events is found and can be used to predict the relative probability that one event will occur, based on the presence of the over event
Experimental Control When a predictable change in behavior can be reliably produced by the systematic manipulation of some aspect of the individual’s environment (analysis dimensions of the 7 Dimensions of ABA)
Internal Validity The extent to which an experiment convincingly shows that changes in behavior are a function of the IV and not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables
Confounding Variables
4 Important Elements of Behavior Behavior is: • Individual • Continuous • Determined • Behavior variability if extrinsic to the organism
6 Components of Experiments in Applied Behavior Analysis 1. At least 1 subject 2. At least 1 behavior (DV) 3. At least 1 setting 4. At least 1 treatment 5. A measurement system and ongoing analysis of data 6. An experimental design
Experimental Question
Single-Subject Design

Experimental Design
Parametric Analysis
Steady/Stable State Responding A pattern of responding that exhibits very little variation in its measured dimensional quantities over a period of time
Baseline Logic Refers to experimental reasoning inherent in single-subject experimental designs
3 Parts of Baseline Logic 1. Prediction 2. Verification 3. Replication Each of these elements depends on an overall experimental approach called steady state strategy
Prediction
Verification
Replication
Steady State Strategy Repeated exposure of a given subject to a given condition while trying to eliminate extraneous influences on behavior & obtaining a stable pattern of responding before introducing the next condition

5 Main Experimental Designs 1. Multiple Baseline 2. Changing Criterion 3. Reversal 4. Alternating Treatments 5. Withdrawal
Alternating Treatments Design Rapid alteration between 2 or more treatments
Multiple Baseline Design Staggered implementation of the intervention in a step-wise fashion across subjects, settings, or behaviors
Reversal (withdrawal) Design Alternation between baseline and a particular intervention
Changing Criterion Design Reinforcement or punishment is contingent upon a certain level of behavior, which changes in a step-wise fashion

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
