D.7 Distinguish among reversal, multiple-baseline, multielement, and changing-criterion designs.

In an experimental design that requires the implementation of more than one independent variable to one subject, the outcome of one treatment may be influenced by the effect of another.

A variation of the reversal design in which noncontingent reinforcement is used as the control condition and contrasted against contingent reinforcement. Responding is reversed to a level obtained in a

A variation of the delayed multiple baseline design in which the baselines are so delayed that there is no overlap between them, like a series of AB designs across participants.

A variation of the reversal design that includes replication, in which responding is reversed to a level obtained in a previous condition by alternating between specific independent variables and baseline

A confounding effect on a subject’s behavior in a given condition that results from the subject’s experience with a previous condition.
