| Term | Definition |
|---|
| changing criterion design | an experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive and gradually changeing criteria for reinforcement or punishment |
| delayed multiple baseline design | a variation of the multiple bseline design in which an initial baseline, and perhaps intervention, are begun for one behavior (or setting, or subject), and subsequent baselines for additional behaviors are begun in a staggered or delayed fashion |
| multiple baseline across behaviors design | a multiple baseline design in whicht he treatment variable is applied to two or more different behaviors of the same subject in the same setting |
| multiple baseline across settings design | a multiple baseline design in which the treatment variable is applied to the same behavior of the same subject across two or more different settings, situations, or time periods |
| multiple baseline across subjects design | a multiple baseline design in which the treatment variable is applied to the same behavior of two or more subjects (or groups) in the same setting |
| multiple baseline design | an experimental design that begins with the concurrent measurement of two or more behaviors in a baseline condition, followed by the application of the treatment variable to one of the behaviors while baseline conditions remain in effect for the other behavior(s). After maximum change has been noted in the first behavior, the treatment variable is applied in sequential fashion to each of the other behaviors in design. Expermental control is demonstrated if each behavior shows similar changes when, and only when, the treatment variable is introduced |
| multiple probe design | a variation of the multiple baseline design that features intermittent measures during baseline. It is used to evaluate the effects of instruction on skill sequences in which it is unlikely that the subject can improve performance on later steps in the sequence before learning prior steps |
