Topography

Topography

________: observing physical form of the behavior.

Animals

________ should have rights similar to humans.

Pros

________: dont have to return to baseline, can produce permanent change in behavior.

Interrater reliability

________: measures the degree to which 2+ coders agree.

Interval

________ recording- continuous intervals.

interval recording

continuous intervals

time-sample recording

discontinuous intervals

topography

observing physical form of the behavior

interrater reliability

measures the degree to which 2+ coders agree

experimental research

establishes cause and effect

group design

manipulate 1+ IVs across group

comparative design

independent species are dif IVs

pros

only need one subject, is individualized, statistical tests may not be needed to determine if there are meaningful changes in behavior, can have precise control over the variables

cons

does behavior revert to baseline after treatment is revoked

to get around these

use multiple baseline design

pros

dont have to return to baseline, can produce permanent change in behavior

cons

treatment effect might generalize across dif settings / behaviors before treatment instituted
