steady-state strategy ✔️an approach to making experimental comparisons that involves measuring
responding for each participant repeatedly under each condition in an effort to assess and manage
extraneous influences and thereby obtain a stable pattern of responding that represents the full effects
of each condition
steady state ✔️a pattern of responding that shows relatively little variation in its measured
dimensional quantities over some period of time
trend ✔️a relatively consistent change in the data in a single direction
range ✔️a measure of variability defined by the highest and lowest values in a data set
cycle ✔️a repeating pattern of local variability, often involving sequences of increasing and decreasing
trends
can be difficult to detect and misleading in data
transition state ✔️a pattern of responding involving change from one steady state to a different steady
state
transitory state ✔️a pattern of responding involving a deviation from a steady state that ends in a
return to the same steady state
implications of steady state definition ✔️-meaning of term steady is relative
-one dimensional quantity being stable does not mean other quantities are
-stable responding does not mean that the env is stable
uses of steady states ✔️-evaluating measurement decisions
-revealing the influence of conditions
