Document Summary
Independent variable could be envionrmenal, specific treatment or social treatment. If the target behavior changes independent variable , shows a function. We want to replicate the experiment to make sure it happens again. Five design: ab design adding on baseline treatment phase. Ab design is the simplest one baseline and one treatment. You just wanna see if the behavior is going in positive direction. Self management projects- the reason why change occur is that you intervene with some independent variable e. g behavioral contract program change the exercise behavior. We are reversing back and forth ab design . after frist phase the observer removed the client abck to baseline. Ex bob has aggressive behavior that is recorded. Baseline is normal demands placed and in treatment demands are limited. The number of aggressive responsive like 100 as soon as u implement the treatment phase all the aggressive behavior goes down to zero.
