Test Your ABA Terminology ➠ Procedural Integrity & Components for Effective Treatment

Procedural integrity is also often called procedural fidelity, fidelity of implementation, or program integrity. This is defined as the extent to which an independent variable is implemented or carried out as planned. Without procedural integrity, we’ll have a really tough time interpreting experimental results. Without knowing for sure that there was integrity or fidelity, it’s really difficult to assess the effectiveness of any treatment. Was it carried out wrong or ineffective? That would then be a question we wouldn’t be able to answer.

Under the umbrella of procedural integrity, we have this term called “treatment drift,” which is when the independent variable is not applied in the same way across all phases of the same experiment. In order for us to ensure a high level of treatment integrity, it’s important that first, there is a precise operational definition of the treatment procedures. It’s also really important to try to simplify the treatment. The more straightforward your treatment, the more likely it’s going to be consistently delivered because of the ease of the implementation. It’s also helpful is to use techniques that are socially valid and acceptable.

Finally, and in my opinion, most importantly, training and practice for those people who are going to conduct the experimental sessions– for example: providing verbal instructions and a detailed script, modeling. All the things that fall under systemic performance monitoring and staff training should be in place to have a much better chance of having that procedural integrity.
