Term
Definition
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

🗑
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  
🗑

🗑
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  
🗑


   

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.
