|
Definition
| is the effect of one independent variable at one level of a second independent variable. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| occurs when the effect of one independent variable differs depending on the level of a second independent variable. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| across individuals, across behaviors, across situations…a single subject experimental design in which the effect of a treatment is demonstrated by showing that behaviors in more than one baseline change as a consequence of the introduction of a treatment; multiple baselines are established for different individuals, for different behaviors in the same individual, or for the same individual in different situations |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| a single subject experimental design in which an initial baseline stage {A} followed by a treatment stage {B}, a return to baseline {A} and then another treatment stage {B} the researcher observes whether behavior changes one introduction of the treatment, reverses when the treatment is withdrawn, and improves again when the treatment is reintroduced. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| experiments in which two or more independent variables are studied simultaneously |
|
|
Term
| n=1 design- {single-subject experiment} |
|
Definition
| a procedure that focuses on behavior change in one individual by systematically contrasting conditions within that individual while continuously monitoring behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| An intensive description and analysis of a single individual |
|
|
Term
| Quasi-experimental design |
|
Definition
| Procedures that resemble characteristics of true experiments, for example, that some type of intervention or treatment is used and a comparison is provided but are lacking in the degree of control that is found in true experiments |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the extent to which the results of a research study can be generalized to different populations, settings, and conditions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Overall effect of an independent variable in a complex design |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| measurement problem whereby the researcher cannot measure the effects of an independent variable or a possible interaction effect because performance has reached a max or min in any condition of the experiment |
|
|
Term
| Non equivalent control group design |
|
Definition
| Quasi-experimental procedure in which a comparison is made between control and treatment groups that have been established on some basis other than through random assignment of participants to groups |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| most common type of independent groups design in which subjects are randomly assigned to each group such that groups are considered comparable at the start of the experiment |
|
|
Term
| Interrupted Time series designs |
|
Definition
| quasi experimental procedure in which changes in a dependent variable are observed for some period of time both before and after a treatment is introduced |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| experiment in which two or more independent variables are studied simultaneously |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| approach to research that seeks to establish broad generalizations or laws tat apply to large groups of individuals; the average or typical performance of a group is emphasized |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| intensive study of an individual, with an emphasis onboth individual uniqueness and lawfulness |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| independent variable that has been shown to influence behavior, either directly by producing a main effect, or indirectly, by resulting in an interaction effect in combination with a second independent variable |
