BEHV 5622 (module 10)
The most widely used tactic for experimental design in applied behavior analysis is the:
- ANS-multiple baseline design
Which experimental design involves the sequential application of an independent
variable across two or more different behaviors? - ANS-multiple baseline
In which multiple baseline design are two or more responses of a single individual (or
group) targeted? - ANS-across behaviors
Which design applies the independent variable in a second setting after stable
responding is achieved? - ANS-multiple baseline
In which multiple baseline design is a single behavior of an individual targeted in two or
more conditions? - ANS-across settings
In which multiple baseline design is one target behavior selected for two or more
individuals in the same setting? - ANS-across subjects
A multiple baseline design might be used instead of a reversal design in which of the
following circumstances? - ANS--the target behavior is likely to be irreversible
-terminating the treatment does not reestablish conditions that existed prior to treatment
-it is unethical or undesirable to withdraw the treatment
In a multiple baseline design, verification of a predicted level of responding for one
behavior is obtained: - ANS-if little or no change is observed in the data paths of the the
behaviors that are still exposed to the conditions under which the prediction was made
A multiple baseline design is ______ than a reversal design for revealing functional
relations between the independent variable and the target behavior. - ANS-weaker
The multiple baseline is a true single-case design. - ANS-False
In which design do intermittent measurements serve as the basis for determining
whether or not behavior change has occurred prior to intervention? - ANS-multiple
probe
, The multiple probe design can be useful when extended baseline measurement may
prove too: - ANS--costly
-reactive
Situations in which the delayed multiple baseline design can prove useful include: -
ANS--additional subjects displaying the same behavior become available
-a NEW behavior becomes available
-limited resources preclude a full-scale multiple baseline
-a reversal design is no longer possible
Limitations of the delayed multiple baseline design include: - ANS--fewer baseline data
points in later tiers
-it may mask the interdependence of the dependent variables
-it can require a lengthy wait before intervention
Which of the following is the weakest design? - ANS-nonconcurrent multiple baseline
design
Procedural guidelines for using a multiple baseline design include: - ANS--intervene on
the most stable baseline first
-select independent yet functionally similar baselines
-do not apply the independent variable too soon
The MOST important advantage of the multiple baseline design is that it: - ANS-does
not require a reversal
Which is a limitation of the multiple baseline design? - ANS-it provides more information
about the intervention than about the target behavior
Which design can be used to evaluate the effects of a treatment as it is applied to a
single target behavior in a stepwise fashion? - ANS-changing criterion
How do prediction and replication operate in the changing criterion design? -
ANS--Replication occurs each time the level of behavior changes in a systematic way
when the criterion changes.
-When stable responding is attained within a phase of the design, a prediction of future
responding is made.
Which is NOT a design factor to consider when implementing a changing criterion
design? - ANS-magnitude of intervention
