a) Multiple, one

a) One b) Two c) Three d) Four |
a) One

_________ control conditions might be used as a variation of the reversal design when it is not possible or when it is deemed inappropriate to completely eliminate an event or activity as a reinforcer.
a) Difference b) Noncontingent reinforcement c) Sequenced d) Temporal |
b) Noncontingent reinforcement

This experimental tactic entails repeated measures of behavior in a given setting that require at least three consecutive phases: baseline, introduction of the independent variable, and a return to baseline.
a) Alternating treatments design b) Multiple baseline design c) Repeated multiple measures design d) ABA reversal design |
d) ABA reversal design
|
|
|
________ means that a level of behavior observed in an earlier phase cannot be reproduced even though experimental conditions return to preintervention conditions.
a) Sequence effects b) Irreversibility c) Order effects d) Reliability |
b) Irreversibility

|
This design is predicated on the behavioral principle of stimulus discrimination and allows for the comparison of two or more different treatments.
a) Multiple baseline design b) Alternating treatments design c) A-B-A-B reversal design d) Single-subject design |
b) Alternating treatments design
|
|
|
An investigator who ________ turns the target behavior on and off by presenting and withdrawing a specific variable makes a clear and convincing demonstration of experimental control.
a) Conditionally b) Haphazardly c) Covertly d) Reliably |
d) Reliably
|
|
|
This term is used to describe the effects on a subject's behavior in a given condition that may be a result of the subject's experience with a prior condition.
