|
Definition
| reliability, validity, sensitivity |
|
|
Term
| Characterize a between subjects design |
|
Definition
| 2 seperate groups are being studied, more work for the experimenter and less for the participant |
|
|
Term
| Characterize a within studies design. |
|
Definition
| The subjects are being compared to themselves as the control group, more time for the participant, better data |
|

|
Term
| 2 types of info from a factorial design |
|
Definition
| Main effect, interactions |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| How each independent variable is affecting the behavior |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The influence the variables have on each other |
|
|
Term
| Tell me everything about a 2x3x7 setup |
|
Definition
| 3 main effects, interactions with the largest being 3, can tell the number of levels |
|
|
Term
| How would we identify where an interaction was happening on a graph? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Both within subject and between subject components |
|
|
Term
| What causes an order effect? |
|
Definition
| The sequence of treatments start to influence the performance of the subjects |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What type of problem with an order effect? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What is the best control for progressive error? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| What makes a small within-study unique? And what kind of design would you use? |
|
Definition
| You don't need statistics, ABA reversal |
|
|
Term
| What is the goal of counterbalancing? |
|
Definition
| A method that allows us to come up with different sequences of presenting our stimuli |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| It becomes cumbersome when you have a lot of variables |
|
|
Term
| Cross-subjects counterbalancing options |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| : Using some select sequence, your choice. Choose enough to make it operational |
|
|
Term
| 3rd type of counterbalancing; what's nice? What's most preferred? |
|
Definition
| Latin square, you select from a table to choose your best fit, balance (lack repetition) |
|
|
Term
| What's another problem with within subjects design and how to fix? |
|
Definition
| Carry over effect: when it continues affecting the subject after the experiment, carryout washout period |
|
|
Term
| How to control for variables |
|
Definition
| Limit variables, keep everything constant, and prevent background noise |
|
|
Term
| If there’s a subject preference and my IV isn’t associated you... |
|
Definition
| set the extraneous variable against the IV |
|
|
Term
| Control concern with quasi |
|
Definition
| Can't monitor all aspects and variables |
|
|
Term
| 2 types of developmental research |
|
Definition
| longitudinal(within) and cross-sectional (between) |
|
|
Term
| Quasi-independent variable |
|
Definition
| A characteristic or trait or event that can be selected for, but not assigned |
|
|
Term
| Purpose of well constructed operational definitions |
|
Definition
| To increase precision, to increase likelihood of replication |
|
|
Term
| What's a control for subject traits? |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| When using a reversal design |
|
Definition
| establish baseline, implement treatment, and then re-establish baseline |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| : Function of IV, carry-over effects occur when treatment continues to influence behavior during a subsequent test session |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Uses an active participant; is in control of outcomes, its performance determines outcomes for it and the passive participant |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| : cues the subject uses to guess at the hypothesis or desire of the researcher that then alter behavior accordingly |
|
