Reversal Design

In steady state strategy a stable pattern of responding must be met before introducing the next condition

• True

• False

Which reversal design can be used with target behaviors for which an initial baseline phase in inappropriate.

• A-B-A-B design

• NCR reversal design

• B-A-B reversal design

Once improved, some behaviors will not reverse to baseline levels?

• True

• False

Which reversal design is based on contingent reinforcement.

• DRI reversal design

• NCR reversal design

• DRO reversal design

Which of the following is considered a limitation in the use of a multiple treatment?

reversal design?

• Observer drift

• sequence effects

• Rapid alternation effects

• Variability

Which of the following statements is a practical rationale for using a B-A-B reversal design?

• Experimenter is interested in quickly understanding the effects of two different treatments

• Behavior of interest is dangerous and withholding an effective treatment would be unethical

• Treatment is already in place

• B & C

Behavioral ____________ means that the level of behavior observed in an earlier phase cannot be reproduced even though experimental conditions are the same as they were during earlier phases.

• Irreversibility

• Effects

• Trend

• Sequencing

Which of the following experimental questions is/are most appropriate for a reversal design?

• The effect of choice versus no choice on the disruptive behavior displayed by students with developmental disabilities

• The effect of response cost on talk outs in an elementary classroom

• The effect of math instruction on student engagement

• A & B

• None of the above

A reversal design is not appropriate in evaluating effects of a treatment that cannot be withdrawn once it has been presented?

• True

• False

An experiment that incorporates multiple reversals often presents a more convincing and compelling demonstration of a functional relation than does an experiment with one reversal.

• True

• False
