PSYCO282 Chapter Notes -Confounding, Abscissa And Ordinate
Document Summary
Documenting the recordings of behaviour can show us if there was change and if the modification process was effective. A-b design simplest type of design with two phases where a = baseline and b = treatment doesn"t demonstrate functional relationship because the treatment is not replicated not a true research design since it doesn"t rule out confounds. A-b-a-b reversal design baseline and treatment phases are implemented twice can demonstrate a functional relationship considerations before using this design is it ethical to remove the treatment? will the behaviour reverse if treatment is withdrawn? variations include. A-b-c-a-c design when you implement the change b but there is no effect on the behaviour, so you implement treatment c and find a difference in behaviour then reverse back to baseline and repeat the c treatment. Alternating treatments design (atd) also called the multi-element design.
