PSY7711 Guided Notes Week 4 Entry ticket answer It is excellent in this class, but assessments have been really challenging! Explain extra credit opportunity. If all media from week 1- week 9 is completed by the end of week 9, we will receive extra credit. Discuss one thing you have learned in the class so far I have learned the importance of accuracy and the value of having trained observers in data collection. What are the three levels of scientific understanding Description, prediction, control. What is the independent variable? The interventions used in the study. What is the dependent variable? The behavior targeted for change, or what we collect data on. ASR 1 answer and justification/explanation Yes, the graph shows that improvement was made in intervention and higher levels of SIB occurred during baseline conditions. ASR 2 answer and justification/explanation A. It shows that the behavior is controlled in treatment conditions, and in baseline, there is a drastic increase. What is internal validity? An experiment can show that the intervention is what changes the target behavior and not some other variable. ASR 3 answer and justification/explanation B. The second baseline condition shows a steady decrease outside of the treatment conditions. Discuss at least 2 confounding variables which may be present in research or applied interventions 1. Emotional states: we do not consider mentalistic states like depression, anxiety etc. 2. Environmental variables: loud noises, bright lights, peers, unfamiliar spaces, cold room, etc. ASR 4 answer and justification/explanation Prediction, description, control. Discuss at least 3 Ethical concerns surrounding the control group not receiving the treatment.
limitations of group designs It is difficult to gather a large number of participants, which makes group-designs more challenging. It cannot be generalized in the same way a single- subject design can. There is no way to assess individual change because it is not measured. ASR 5 answer and justification/explanation False. Multiple subjects can be included, the point is to compare the subjects baseline to their treatment phase. Explain at least 3 assumptions in behavior analysis Behavior is determined, dynamin and ongoing, and an individual phenomenon. Explain the components of research questions A subject, a behavior, a setting, and a treatment or intervention. The question is a brief statement of what we want to learn from the experiment. ASR 6 answer and justification/explanation C. This is the main design used by analysts ASR 7 answer and justification/explanation B. false. Multiple subjects can be included. ASR 8 answer and justification/explanation A. Generalization. What works for one person in a study may not work for all others with similar conditions. ASR 9 answer and justification/explanation A. The subject serves as their own control. What is a non- parametric study? Intervention is either there or it’s not. What is the importance of steady state strategy and baseline logic? It helps us with prediction, verification, and replication. If we can predict the trend, we can verify and replicate the study to address confounding variables. Making sure you have stable data patterns helps prediction. ASR 12 answer and justification/explanation A. The graphs are more stable. Explain the elements of baseline logic It serves as a control condition for the response prior to introducing independent variable, establishes a baseline level of responding to help us detect changes once the intervention is introduced. What are the three types of validity and why they Internal, External, and social validity. Each of these show if the intervention is impactful to the person in
are important different ways. Internal asks if the study is effective, external asks if it applies to their life outside of treatment, and social asks if it it meaningful to the person in treatment. List at least 3 key takeaways for finding articles in the library Searching within behavior analytic articles will ensure relevant studies. You can select a journal that holds the largest collection to find more results. Using the filters, you can reduce selections to the past five years of journals. List at least 3 parts of a single-subject research article It gives an abstract with an overview of the study taking place, an introduction with background information on the study, and shows methods and procedures for conducting the study. ASR 13 answer and justification/explanation No. This is a systematic review. ASR 15 answer and justification/explanation Yes, This contains an abstract and has info about the treatment design. Exit ticket answer Yes! Feedback and Questions: - Write down any questions or feedback that you have These were missing from the note template ASR10: B ASR11:
