Any experiment designed to identify the active elements of a treatment condition, relative contributions of different variables in a treatment package, and/ or the necessary and sufficient components of a intervention

The researcher makes every effort to duplicate exactly the conditions of an earlier experiment

When neither the subject(s) or observers know whether the IV is present or absent from session to session

Used to separate effects that may be produced by a subjects perceived expectations of improvement apart from the effects actually produced by the I.V.

Repeating a previous experiment

Systematic Replication

The researcher purposefully varies one or more aspects of an earlier experiment

Occurs when the application of the I.V. during later phases of an experiment differs from the way it was applied at the outset of the study

AKA Procedural Fidelity; data measure the extent to which the actual implementation of experimental procedures matched their descriptions in the method section of a research report

AKA False Positive; is made when a researcher concludes that the I.V. had an effect on the D.V. when in fact no such relation occurred

AKA False Negative; the researcher concludes that the I.V. did not have an effect on the D.V. , when in fact it did

Changes that take place in a subject over the course of an experiment

Confounding Variables

Uncontrolled factors known or suspected to have exerted influence on the D.V.

Training and Practice

Provides the person(s) who will be responsible for conducting the treatment or experimental sessions with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out the treatment

The degree to which a functional relation found reliable and socially valid in a given experiment will hold under different conditions

Assessed by: 1. social significance of the T.B. 2. appropriateness of the procedures, 3. social importance of the results

Question	Answer
Component Analysis	Any experiment designed to identify the active elements of a treatment condition, relative contributions of different variables in a treatment package, and/ or the necessary and sufficient components of a intervention
Direct Replication	The researcher makes every effort to duplicate exactly the conditions of an earlier experiment
Double Blind Control	When neither the subject(s) or observers know whether the IV is present or absent from session to session
Placebo Control	Used to separate effects that may be produced by a subjects perceived expectations of improvement apart from the effects actually produced by the I.V.
Replication	Repeating a previous experiment
Systematic Replication	The researcher purposefully varies one or more aspects of an earlier experiment
Treatment Drift	Occurs when the application of the I.V. during later phases of an experiment differs from the way it was applied at the outset of the study
Treatment Integrity	AKA Procedural Fidelity; data measure the extent to which the actual implementation of experimental procedures matched their descriptions in the method section of a research report
Type 1 Error	AKA False Positive; is made when a researcher concludes that the I.V. had an effect on the D.V. when in fact no such relation occurred
Type II Error	AKA False Negative; the researcher concludes that the I.V. did not have an effect on the D.V. , when in fact it did
Maturation	Changes that take place in a subject over the course of an experiment
Confounding Variables	Uncontrolled factors known or suspected to have exerted influence on the D.V.
Training and Practice	Provides the person(s) who will be responsible for conducting the treatment or experimental sessions with the necessary skills and knowledge to carry out the treatment
External Validity	The degree to which a functional relation found reliable and socially valid in a given experiment will hold under different conditions
Social Validity	Assessed by: 1. social significance of the T.B. 2. appropriateness of the procedures, 3. social importance of the results
