1. The independent variable in a single-subject design is
2. The measurement of the behavior prior to an intervention is the
3. If the line representing the baseline data were descending, this
would indicate that
4. If the line representing the baseline data were ascending, this
would indicate that
5. A variable baseline could indicate
6. The average rate of the behavior during a condition is
7. A consistent one-direction change (increasing or decreasing) in the
rate of the behavior during a condition is
8. This single-subject design uses one set of baseline data (Condition
A) and one set of intervention data (Condition B).
9. This single-subject design adds a second baseline after the
intervention strategy, and then reintroduces the intervention strategy
after the second baseline.
10. Which single-subject design evaluates the effectiveness of an
intervention strategy by progressively increasing or decreasing the
behavior?
11. This single–subject design adds a second, different intervention.
12. Which single-subject design allows comparison of more than one
intervention?
13. The single-subject design evaluates the effectiveness of an
intervention strategy by progressively increasing or decreasing the
behavior in stepwise changes by manipulating the conditions of the
intervention.
14. Marcie is talking without permission in her math, English, and
social studies classes. Which design is appropriate for measuring her
behavior?
15. Which multiple-baseline design allows teachers to analyze the
effectiveness of an intervention strategy for two or more students with
the same target behavior?
16. Single-subject designs allow teachers to measure the effectiveness
of intervention strategies for the specific behavior of one student or
a group of students treated as one entity.
17. The effectiveness of the intervention can be measured by comparing
the data points of the behavior prior to intervention with the data
points of the behavior during intervention.
18. A minimum of three baseline data points are needed to establish
stability of the target behavior.
19. The AB design provides for replication of the procedure.
20. The changing criterion design requires withdrawal of the
intervention.
21. Describe the characteristics and importance of a stable baseline.
22. Briefly define level, trend, and variability.
23. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the withdrawal design.
24. What are three factors teachers should consider when using the
changing criterion design?
25. Describe the three different types of multiple-baseline design that
utilize multiple baselines across behaviors, across individuals, and
across settings.
