SPCE 609 FINAL EXAM REVISION
SUMMARY
Permanent Product
Change in environment lasting for measurement.
Natural Permanent Product Measurement
Assessing behavior through lasting environmental changes.
Behavior Definition Precision
Clarity in defining behaviors for measurement.
Percentage of Opportunities
Ratio reflecting behavior response frequency.
Human Error
Main threat to data accuracy in analysis.
Cumulative Record
Graph showing total responses over time.
Steeper Slope
Indicates higher response rate on cumulative record.
Internal Validity
Study's ability to show true causal relationships.
Parametric Analysis
, Examines effects of varying independent variable values.
Long Baselines
Excessive duration of behavior measurement without purpose.
Concurrent Chains Design
Participants choose between multiple response options.
Multiple-Treatment Reversal
Design comparing effects of alternating treatments.
B-A-B Reversal Design
Used when behavior poses danger to participants.
Extended Designs
Multiple treatment reversals not preplanned by experimenter.
Multiple Baseline Design
Independent variable applied to stable behavior first.
Changing Criterion Design
Believability increases with reinstated previous criteria.
Behavioral Repertoire
Set of behaviors an individual can perform.
Data Reliability
Consistency of measurement results over time.
Experimental Control
