Front 1

Simultaneous measurement of two or more behaviors of a single participant describes which type of experimental design?
a) Multiple baseline across behaviors
b) Multiple baseline across settings
c) Multiple baseline across subjects
d) Multiple baseline across probes

Back 1

a) Multiple baseline across behaviors

Front 2

In a multiple baseline design, the functional relationship between the independent variable and the change in the subject's behavior is determined by:
a) Systematic introduction and withdrawal across phases
b) Observation of unchanged behaviors in other tiers
c) Observation of behavior change in the treated tier
d) Replication of behavior change with each new criterion

Back 2

b) Observation of unchanged behaviors in other tiers

Front 3

Which experimental design is most appropriate for evaluating the effect of video modeling on the acquisition of the skills for preparing a meal by adults with developmental disabilities?
a) Multiple baseline across behaviors
b) Changing criterion
c) Multiple probe
d) Delayed multiple baseline

Back 3

c) Multiple probe

Front 4

All of the following are appropriate situations to use a delayed multiple baseline except:
a) A planned reversal design is no longer possible
b) The researcher has limited resources to conduct data collection
c) A reversal design is too challenging to implement
d) Additional subjects become available after the start of the study

Back 4

c) A reversal design is too challenging to implement

Front 5

All of the following are advantages of the multiple baseline design except:
a) Easy to conceptualize
b) Lack of treatment withdrawal
c) Mimics common practice of practitioners
d) Takes less time to implement

Back 5

d) Takes less time to implement

Front 6

All of the following are limitations of the multiple baseline design except:
a) It may not reveal the functional relationship, even if one exists
b) Verification of predicted behavior change must be inferred from other behaviors.
c) The behavior under study must be within the subject's repertoire already
d) It is weaker than the reversal design

Back 6

c) The behavior under study must be within the subject's repertoire already

Front 7

When an intervention that is known to be effective is withheld from a subject for the purposes of achieving a multiple baseline design, this presents a(n) ________ challenge for researchers.
a) Practical
b) Ethical
c) Experimental
d) Logical

Back 7

b) Ethical

Front 8

One method of addressing the practical concern of costly measurement when using a multiple baseline design across settings is to:
a) Include only one setting in the study
b) Reduce the number of baseline data points
c) Use intermittent probes during baseline
d) Use a changing criterion design instead of the multiple baseline

Back 8

c) Use intermittent probes during baseline

Front 9

When a subject's behavior changes each time a new criterion is introduced, this is an example of
a) Prediction
b) Function
c) Replication
d) Systematic manipulation

Back 9

c) Replication

Front 10

Which of the following is not a design factor to be considered when using a changing criterion design?
a) Length of phase
b) Magnitude of behavior change
c) Number of criterion changes
d) Verification of behavior change

Back 10

d) Verification of behavior change
