SPCE 609 ALL IN ONE; SUMMARY,
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
placebo control
a procedure that prevents a subject from detecting the
presence or absence of treatment variable
procedural fidelity
the extent to which procedures in all phases & condition of an
experiment, including baseline, are implemented correctly
What is replication in an experiment?
Repeating conditions within an experiment to determine the
reliability of effects and increase internal validity.
What is generalization in an experiment?
Repeating whole experiments to determine the generality of
findings of previous experiments to other subjects, settings,
and/or behaviors.
add-in component analysis
a method for conducting a component analysis in which
components are assessed individually or in combination before
the complete treatment package is presented.
social validity
,refers to the extent to which target behaviors are appropriate,
intervention procedures are acceptable, and important and
significant changes in target and collateral behaviors are
produced
treatment integrity
The extent to which the independent variable is applied exactly
as planned and described and no other unplanned variables are
administered inadvertently along with the planned treatment
component analysis
any experiment designed to identify the active elements of a
treatment condition, the relative contributions of different
variables in a treatment package, and/or the necessary and
sufficient components of an intervention
What is the basic strategy of component analysis
to compare levels of responding across successive phases in
which the intervention is implemented with one or more
components left out
direct replication
an experiment in which the researcher attempts to duplicate
exactly the conditions of an earlier experiment
treatment package
a behavioral intervention consisting of multiple components
(e.g., contingent praise, tokens, and extinction)
, systematic replication
an experiment in which the researcher purposefully varies one
or more aspects of an earlier experiment
A systematic replication that reproduces the results of
previous research
not only demonstrates the reliability of the earlier findings but
also adds to the external validity of the earlier findings by
showing that the same effect can be obtained under different
conditions
What is a double-blind control?
A procedure that prevents the subject from detecting the
presence or absence of the treatment variable.
Why is a double-blind control used?
To eliminate confounding of results by subject expectations,
parent and teacher expectations, differential treatment by
others, and observer bias.
What is drop-out component analysis?
A method for conducting a component analysis by
systematically removing components from a treatment
package.
How does drop-out component analysis help identify
necessary components?
