PSY 230 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Reinforcement, Nonparametric Statistics, Kindergarten
Document Summary
Problems in interpretation of single-subject data: change in slope or trend, variability, duration of phases. With slope in baseline can use abab design. Caused by third variable interacting with the subjects response: unreliable measurement of the behavior. Extreme data points might suggest regression to the mean. 18. each 10 seconds momentary + = on-task or - = off task. 19. partial interval during the 10-second interval: o = out of seat. X = teacher interaction: a = teacher approval, d = disapproval. Refers to the social importance and acceptability of treatment goals, procedures and outcomes: one way behavior analysts evaluate the significance of their work. Behavior analysts believe that all behavior is governed by lawful applications of antecedents or discriminative stimuli (sd) that elicit behavior and the consequences that maintain them. S-r or a-b-cs: antecedents behavior consequence. Functional analysis is the use of experimental manipulations that elicit behavior and it also assesses the potential of negative or positive reinforcement.
