Study Notes
Alternating Treatments Design Overview
- Aims to compare effects of multiple treatments on the same behavior.
- Can be executed with or without baseline data.
Alternating Treatments Design Types
- Without Baseline: Treatments are presented randomly on different days or sessions; no initial data collected but may include alternating no-treatment phases.
- With Baseline: Collects baseline data prior to treatment, allowing for bigger insights when evaluating treatment effectiveness.
- With Final Treatment Phase: Concludes with the treatment determined to be most effective based on the preceding analysis.
Key Concepts
- Multiple Treatment Interference: Occurs when the effect of one treatment influences other treatments, potentially skewing results.
- Prediction: Each data point must verify previous predictions to confirm effectiveness of treatments.
- Verification: Successive data points should support the predictions made from earlier data, demonstrating consistency.
- Replication: Treatment effects are valid if observed trends continue across sessions.
Practical Considerations
- Intercomponent Interval Length: Duration a treatment is applied; longer intervals facilitate better discrimination between treatments by subjects.
Methodologies in Treatment Design
- Multielement Design: Identifies factors in functional behavior analysis that affect behavior, aiding in intervention selection.
- Simultaneous Treatments Design: Also known as concurrent schedules design; sustains all treatments at the same time, posing planning challenges.
- Adapted Alternating Treatments Design: Applies the intervention to multiple, similar yet functionally independent behaviors, expanding the scope of treatment evaluation.
