Question: Define and distinguish between independent and dependent variables in the context of applied behavior analysis. Ojo will like this component

Evaluate whether an observed change in behavior meets criteria for establishing a functional relation.

Explain how extraneous variables threaten internal validity by confounding the interpretation of functional relations.

Critically evaluate single-case data to detect possible threats to internal validity and propose design modifications to mitigate them.

Construct demonstration, comparison, parametric, and component experimental questions aligned with identified research goals.

Match experimental questions to appropriate research designs based on the nature of the independent and dependent variables.

Match experimental questions to appropriate research designs based on the nature of the independent and dependent variables.
Define and differentiate the five fundamental dimensional quantities of behavior (rate, duration, latency, IRT, and celeration).
Identify appropriate dimensional quantities and select measurement techniques based on the features of a target behavior.
Design a basic behavioral recording system that includes observational codes, measurement techniques, and data collection tools.
Evaluate the reliability and validity of a given measurement system, including identification of potential observer errors or biases.
Interpret behavioral data using the selected dimensional quantities to determine trends, pacing, and patterns in observed behavior. Proposing a Study in Behavior Analysis
So far, you explored the importance of scientific research, research questions, and how to quantify and record behavior based on different types of experimental questions. Now, you'll take the next step by designing your own behavioral research questions and thinking critically about how you would measure the behavior you're interested in. This assignment also gives you the opportunity to practice scientific communication by providing peer feedback.

Your task is to propose an experimental question that could be answered using single-case design. Begin by selecting one of the four experimental question types outlined by Kennedy: demonstration, comparison, parametric, or component. Once you've chosen the type, construct your experimental question and describe how you would approach the measurement process.
