Document Summary
Chapter 3 y the primary tool used to document behaviour change is the graph y graph: a visual representation of the ocurrance of a behaviour over time y. In a typical behaviour modification graph, time and behaviour are the two variables illustrated y time is indicated on the x-axis (aka the abscissa) y. A phase is a period in which the same treatment (or no treatment) is in effect. Data points are not connected across the phase lines: phase labels appears at the top of the graph above the phase. This second baseline is followed by replication of the treatment: considerations for using design: may not be ethical to remove treatment in the second baseline if the behaviour is dangerous. you must be fairly certain that the level of the behaviour will reverse when treatment is withdrawn. whether you can actually remove the treatment after it is implemented y multiple-baseline design: three types:
