Demonstrating that the independent variable controls the dependent variable (behavior) by showing a functional relationship between the independent variable and the dependent variable, evidenced by a change in responding occurring… Read more
The data collected prior to implementing a treatment or intervention, used as a comparison for treatment outcomes and acts as a control condition.
The essential reasoning of single-subject experimental designs, which consists of prediction, verification, and replication.
PTB co-founder Dana Meller shares a huge secret to help break down experimental design questions.
BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-3: Identify the defining features of single-subject experimental designs.
Dana Do’s: 1-Minute Experimental Design Test Hack (you still have to study it though) Read More
When an experiment can reliably demonstrate a causal relationship between an independent variable and a dependent variable by controlling for extraneous variables and ensuring that the independent variable is responsible
The specific arrangement of conditions in a study that are created to compare the relevant relations of the effects of the independent variable’s presence, absence, or different values of the
When changes in the dependent variable are predictably related to the independent variable, demonstrating a clear cause-and-effect relationship between the dependent and independent variable.
In an experimental design, this is the particular aspect of the environment manipulated to assess its effects on the target behavior.
PTB founder Dana Meller breaks down a BCBA® mock exam question about baseline logic for a multiple baseline design across behaviors. Dana explains the significance of replication in providing more convincing evidence of a functional relationship and how to make scientific justifications using baseline logic in various designs.
The projected result of a presently unknown measurement to be determined in the future, based on the belief that if current conditions persist, so will the pattern of responding, and
Demonstrating that reintroducing the independent variable after it was withdrawn produces a return of the dependent variable to levels similar to those observed in previous independent variable Hint: This is
A type of experimental design in which each subject serves as their own control, and the effects of treatment are compared to the subject’s own baseline data.
