@Psych_Core A5: I think this translates to there being no limits to experimental design. To be true agents of change means that we will not be restricted. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@Psych_Core A4: Combining designs is a way to ‘double check’ your work and findings. Real world ex: There are multiple ways to solve a math problem. Some techniques have more steps and take more time, while another way seems more effective… what matters is getting the same answer. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@Psych_Core A3: Multiple baseline - across the same behavior & different subjects. Overall, the intervention seems effective. However, the variance in # of sessions during treatment phase between subjects is a weakness here. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@Psych_Core A2: With CCD, the subject can already perform the target behavior. Knowing this, researchers can combine with MBD to demonstrate greater experimental control over the IVs/interventions - Effects of the treatment(s) are more significant since BX is aleady known #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@Psych_Core A1: Baseline! All single subject research includes at least 1 baseline. This allows behavior to be observed as it naturally occurs. This provides a ‘starting point’ for research & can used to compare data during intervention to support a functional relation (or not) #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@behavior_psych A5: A motivating operation (MO) could directly affect the time it takes for a behavior to meet the designated criterion! #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@behavior_psych A4: Criterion is only changed once the target behavior matches the criterion previously set for said behavior and demonstrates a stable trend. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@behavior_psych A3: They must be equivalent (as much as possible) in order to compare outcomes! You can’t compare apples and oranges because even though they are both fruit, they require different skills to eat them (e.g. peeling an orange vs. biting into an apple) #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@behavior_psych A2: It depends - everyone’s favorite answer! Attempts to control the environment and “double checking” effects of the intervention by using withdrawal phases are some additional strategies to address concerns. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@behavior_psych A1: Change in the target behavior is gradual. This could require researchers to spend more time conducting experiments in order to demonstrate the same level of confidence in the intervention than they would using other types of designs. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A5: “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” - but perhaps I’d deliver that message in a gentler way 😂 #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A4: 1) randomization is the first thing that comes to mind here. 2) if doing so takes away from the integrity of the treatments being tested. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A3: I think my first question would be “how much more effective is the non-preferred treatment?” - because if the difference is slight, I would support my client’s choice because their buy-in/social validity is going to matter in the long run for maintenance. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A2: Make it simple for the learner and their individual ability/level! You could use colors or shapes to differentiate between conditions. Just another way we individualize treatment for our clients/students! #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A1: Alternating Treatment Design is often a faster way to collect data and help your client! The sooner you can identify an intervention that works, the sooner the problem is remedied. #SCRDchat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@drduek A1: 1) Millie Van Horn 2) Since I have been enrolled in SCRD coursework this semester, haha! 3) I want to take over for Ellen Degeneres… or at least co-host with the Queen that she is.

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@BhanaNaima @olivia_enders The first thought that came to mind… if it’s not socially valid/socially significant, then what are we doing? What are we looking at? Why are we wasting ANY resources/costs, much less “too much/many” #SCRDChat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@BhanaNaima A5: I think the three term contingency still applies here. The antecedent has to have an obvious effect on/with the MO. And when we look at behavior, we analyze the behavior as it presents itself, not necessarily giving much weight to the MO in every case. #SCRDChat

[Millie Van Horn @MillieVanWare]

@BhanaNaima @DrSarahCox I think this is when we collect data about the effectiveness of an intervention and compare that to the acceptability of an intervention… #SCRDChat
