Deck 16: Changing Intensity Designs and Successive Intervention Designs

Question 1

A design that helps you study the effects of an intervention by subtracting components from the original technique and then evaluating them separately is called a/an design:

A) A strip/construction design
B) An additive design
C) A strip design
D) None of the above

Answer 1

C

Question 2

The advantage of the A-B-A-C-A design over the A-B-A-C is the third baseline allows comparison of the relative effects of the B and C phases.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

To determine the full effect of C in an A-B-A-C design, one would need:

A) Clear carryover effects
B) A third baseline phase
C) Both a and b
D) Neither a nor b

Answer 3

B

Question 4

A changing criterion design refers to a design where the intervention program is gradually increased or decreased in intensity.

Question 5

In an A-B-C design, order effects are ruled out because of the interposing of the B phase between the A and C.

Question 6

The A-B-A-C-A allows determination of the separate causal impact of phases B and C.

Question 7

An important advantage of changing intensity designs is that the likelihood of carryover effects enhances the practitioner's ability to make causal inferences.
