| 10.06 Informing of future use |
|
Definition
| Behavior analysts inform research participants of their anticipated sharing or further use of personally identifiable research data and of the possibility of unanticipated future uses. |
|
|
Term
| 10.07 Minimizing interference |
|
Definition
| In conducting research, behavior analysts interfere with the participants or environment from which data are collected only in a manner that is warranted by an appropriate research design and that is consistent with behavior analysts' role as scientific investigators. |
|
|
Term
| 10.08 Commitments to research participants |
|
Definition
| Behavior analysts take reasonable measures to honor all commitments they have made to research participants. |
|
|
Term
| 10.09 Ensuring participant anonymity |
|
Definition
| In presenting research, the behavior analyst ensures participant anonymity unless specifically waived but he participant or surrogate. |
|
|
Term
| 10.10 Informing of withdrawal |
|
Definition
| The behavior analyst informs the participant that withdrawal from the research may occur at any time without penalty except as stipulated in advance, as in fees contingent upon completing a project. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The behavior analyst informs the participant that debriefing will occur at the conclusion of the participant's involvement in the research. |
|
|
Term
| 10.12 Answering research questions |
|
Definition
| The behavior analyst answers all questions of the participant about the research that are consistent with being able to conduct the research. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The behavior analyst must obtain the written consent of the participant or surrogate before beginning the research. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| If the behavior analyst recruits participants from classes and the participants are provided additional credit for participating in the research, nonparticipating students must be provided alternative activities that generate comparable credit. |
|
|
Term
| 10.15 Paying participants |
|
Definition
| The behavior analyst who pays participants for research involvement or uses money as a reinforcer must obtain Institutional Review Board or Human Rights Committee approval of this practice and conform to any special requirements that may be established in the process of approval. |
|
|
Term
| B-04 Withdrawal/reversal design |
|
Definition
| Requires at least 3 consecutive phases: baseline, intervention, return to baseline |
|
|
Term
| B-05 Alternating treatments (multielement designs) |
|
Definition
| characterized by rapid alternation of two or more distinct treatments while their effects on the target behavior are measured |
|
|
Term
| B-06 Changing criterion design |
|
Definition
| Treatment phase is divided into sub phases. Each sub phase involves a different behavioral criterion. Criterion in each sub phase more closely resembles the terminal behavioral goal |
|
|
Term
| B-07 Multiple baseline designs |
|
Definition
| Treatment is applied sequentially across behaviors, settings, or people after baseline data is taken |
|
|
Term
| B-09 Combination of design elements |
|
Definition
| Studies may include combination of design elements such as multiple baseline with reversal design |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Supplementary antecedent stimuli used to evoke a correct response int he presence of an EO or Sd that will eventually control behavior. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Fading used to gradually transfer stimulus control from supplementary antecedent stimuli to naturally occurring EO's and/or Sd |
|
|
Term
| C-03 state and plan for possible unwanted effects of extinction |
|
Definition
| extinction burst, increase in response amplitude, spontaneous recovery |
|
|
Term
| D-04 modeling and imitation training |
|
Definition
| teaching the learner to imitate or do exactly what the person providing the model is doing |
|
|
Term
| D-20 Use response independent schedules of reinforcement |
|
Definition
| Noncontingent reinforcement: reinforcement delivered at specific time intervals, independent of behavior |
|
|
Term
| D-21 Use differential reinforcement (DRO, DRA, DRI, DRL, DRH) |
|
Definition
| Reinforcing one response class and withholding reinforcement for another response class |
|
