#1
What is the primary goal of using a multiple baseline design in behavioral interventions?
To establish a cause-and-effect relationship between the intervention and behavior change
ExplanationDemonstrates causal link between intervention and behavior change.
#2
In a multiple baseline design, what aspect remains consistent across the baselines?
The setting or context
ExplanationSetting/context remains constant in different baseline observations.
#3
Which of the following is a potential limitation of the multiple baseline design?
It may not establish a clear cause-and-effect relationship
ExplanationMay lack clarity in establishing cause-and-effect relationships.
#4
What distinguishes a multiple baseline design from a reversal design?
In a multiple baseline design, the effect of interventions is observed across different behaviors or contexts, while in a reversal design, it is not.
ExplanationObserves intervention effects across various behaviors/contexts in multiple baseline design; not in reversal design.
#5
What is the term used to describe the phase in a multiple baseline design where interventions are introduced and their effects are observed?
Intervention phase
ExplanationPhase where interventions are introduced and effects observed is the intervention phase.
#6
Which of the following is NOT a type of multiple baseline design?
Behavior-based
ExplanationBehavior-based is not a type of multiple baseline design.
#7
What is the key advantage of using a multiple baseline design compared to a single-case experimental design?
Multiple baseline design allows for replication across different participants, behaviors, or settings.
ExplanationAllows replication across different participants, behaviors, or settings in multiple baseline design.
#8
What is the purpose of staggering the introduction of interventions in a multiple baseline design?
To rule out alternative explanations for behavior change
ExplanationPrevents alternative explanations by introducing interventions staggered.
#9
Which of the following statements best describes the rationale behind using a multiple baseline design over other experimental designs?
It offers a naturalistic approach to studying behavior change
ExplanationProvides a naturalistic approach to studying behavior change.
#10
What statistical technique is commonly used to analyze data in a multiple baseline design?
Visual analysis
ExplanationVisual analysis is commonly used for data analysis in multiple baseline design.
#11
In a multiple baseline design, why is it important to establish stable baselines before introducing interventions?
To rule out alternative explanations for changes in behavior
ExplanationEstablishing stable baselines helps rule out alternative explanations for behavior changes.
#12
Which of the following best describes the concept of generalization in the context of multiple baseline designs?
The ability of the intervention to produce changes in behavior beyond the intervention setting
ExplanationGeneralization is the intervention's ability to produce changes beyond the intervention setting.
#13
What is the primary reason for using a multiple baseline design rather than a traditional experimental design?
To allow for the assessment of behavior change across different conditions without disrupting natural settings
ExplanationAllows assessing behavior change across conditions without disrupting natural settings in multiple baseline design.
#14
What is the primary purpose of the baseline phase in a multiple baseline design?
To establish the stability of behavior before introducing interventions
ExplanationBaseline phase establishes behavior stability before intervention introduction.
