C. Interim Validity
D. Experimental Validity |
|
Definition
B. External Validity
The extent to which the results of a study can be generalized to other settings, behaviors of subjects.
Think: Generalizability of an experiment, Relies on Replication |
|
|
Term
This term describes the extent to which an experiment shows convincingly that the changes in a behavior are a function of the IV and not the result of uncontrolled or unknown variables>
A.External Validity
B. Interim Validity
C. Internal Validity
D.Experimental Validity |
|
Definition
C. Internal Validity
The extent to which an experiment strongly shows that changes in behavior are a direct result of the independent variable (IV) and not the result of some other uncontrolled/unknown variables.
THINK: Experiment Control, |
|
|
Term
Removing an effective IV an ethical concern with this experimental design?
A. Multielement
B. Multiple Baseline
C.Reversal Design
D. Changing Criterion Design |
|
Definition
C. Reversal Design
A single-case design is used to demonstrate the effects of an independent variable by systematically introducing and withdrawing the independent variable and observing the changes in the target behavior. With each successful reversal functional relation is strengthened. Most Powerful Design. Returning to baseline provides maintenance information. The more the better. |
|
|
Term
Treatment Intervention Experimental Variable. An aspect of the environment that is manipulated to assess the effects on the target behavior.

B. Dependent Variable
C. Variable
D. Confounding Variable |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
The target behavior of interest is being measured in an experiment. Sensitive to the Manipulation.

B. Confounding Variable
C.Both A and B
D.Variable |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
This is an exact replication of a previous study, except that different participants are used.
A.Intrasubject
B.Intersubject
C.Direct Replication
D. Replication |
|
Definition
B.Intersubject
Think: Same treatment, different participants.
For data to be meaningful, Participants must be similar in relevant characteristics (e.g., skill, level, age, diagnosis, etc.) |
|
|
Term
This is an exact replication of a previous study, including the participants used, which strengthens the reliability of a functional relation.
A.Intrasubject
B.Intersubject
C.Direct Replication
D. Replication |
|
Definition
A.Intrasubject
Think: Everything is the same, the treatment and the participants, |
|
|
Term
Researchers intentionally change one or more features of a prior experiment, such as Participant demographics, setting aspects of the IV, and DV, etc.
A.Intrasubject
B.Intersubject
C.Direct Replication
D. Systematic Replication |
|
Definition
D. Systematic Replication
Think: Repeating the study, but something must be different. Demonstrates the reliability of the original experiment and confirms external validity. |
|
|
Term

A. Experimental
B. Functional
C.Descriptive
D. Correlational |
|
Definition
A. Experimental
Systematically manipulates an environmental condition or treatment variable, either providing it or withholding it, or changing the amount of it to compare the amount of behavior that occurs under the 2 conditions. |

A hypothetical analysis is merely a reasoned guess that 2 events go together. |
