Physical nature of responses

Single subject research helps to reveal which of the following?

2 or more sched or reinf operate sequentially and in a specific order, has SD, and terminal reinforcer comes at the end

Information collected as a result of measurement

Methods designed to capture all instances of the target behavior during the observational period

Regression towards the mean, selection bias, testing, and instrumentation are all:

The amount of time between an antecedent stimulus and a response

Brief period of responding that includes the frequent occurrence of one or more behaviors

A dependent relation between events

A stimulus that has no initial eliciting effect on the reflex response

The process of pairing a NS with either an US or CS that results in a new reflex relation

Which of the following is a limitation of group design research?

Three types of environmental contingencies

Which is a consideration when choosing whether to use a multielement VS withdrawal/reversal design? A multielement :

A single response that occurs once can re-occur

Simple relation between a specific antecedent stimulus and a specific innate, involuntary physiological response

MOs that incr. the effect of other events as R+ and evoke bx that has been R+ by those events in the past

When concerned with understanding the behavior of the individual, which exp. design is most effective?

The effect of a MO to increase the effectiveness of a consequence

To strongly, consistently, and reliably cause to happen

Events, stimuli, and conditions that can affect behavior

Dimension of ABA that requires FR between bx and environmental events through systematic manipulations.

Quantifying different dimensions of behavior

Select a limitation of changing-criterion design:

___ are often used to evaluate whether treatment effects are evident before treatment is implemented.

A form of interval recording in which occurrence/nonoccurrence of bx is obsered and recorded at the end of the interval

Dimension of ABA that requires behavior change in the intended direction and to a practical degree

Behavior that can be observed by others, even if not being directly observed in the moment
