Behavior Analysis
Term Definition
1 Systematic investigation and manipulation of variables to identify associations and
. understand process.
Research
2 Non-experimental research that identifies relationships between variables
Correlational
. Research
3 Type of research in which large groups of individuals are assigned to one of two or more
. study conditions and differences are statistically analyzed.
Between-Group Research
4 A quantitative experimental approach in which participants serve as their own control.
. Uses visual analysis of data.
Single Case Research Design
5 Research question that analyzes of two or more independent variables that make up a
. treatment package.
Component Analysis
6 Research question that evaluates the effectiveness of an independent variable at different
Parametric
. Research levels or amounts.
