Basic Research Designs in Applied Behavior Analysis

摘要: Applied behavior analysis relies on experimentation to assess the efficacy of interventions. Experimentation involves measurement one physical event, dependent variable, under conditions where value a second independent is manipulated systematically. If variable covaries lawfully with functional relation evident. Functional relations are basis scientific laws; such allow for prediction and control, hence understanding, phenomena studied as variables. The logical configuring that allows changes in be attributed actions an termed experimental design. Although many specific designs capable demonstrating relations, limited number favored by applied analysts. purpose this chapter describe these designs.
