Threats to internal validity - ANSWER Testing, History, Maturation, Instrumentation, Selection, Mortality History - ANSWER Events that occur during the experiment but are not related to planned procedural changes that may influence the income Maturation - ANSWER Changes in behavior due to the passage of time Testing - ANSWER Occurs when participants need to respond to the same test repeatedly during a a baseline or probe condition, which influences responding. Data instability - ANSW...

Applied research involves... - ANSWER systematic investigation related to the pursuit of knowledge in practical realms Independent variables - ANSWER A variable that a scientist changes to find out how this change affects other variables in the experiment. dependent variable - ANSWER The outcome factor; the variable that may change in response to manipulations of the independent variable. Applied research focuses on... - ANSWER problems of reinforcement and learning in several different...

ABA - ANSWER a scientific approach for discovering environmental variables that reliably influence socially behavior and for developing a technology of behavior change that takes practical advantage of those discoveries purpose of science - ANSWER gain a thorough understanding or knowledge about the phenomena under study ABA- tries to understand socially significant behaviors in order to improve behavior psychology- tries to understand the mental processes and behaviors of humans bas...

visual analysis of graphed data - ANSWER is the cornerstone of and most frequently used data analysis method in SCD research, particularly for determining whether a study demonstrates experimental control. involves systematic procedures used to evaluate specific characteristics of data patterns and evaluate the presence of a functional relation. advantages of visual analysis - ANSWER -can be used to evaluate data of individuals or small groups depending on the unit of analysis specified in t...
