Unit 9: Component and Parametric Analysis in ABA – Discussion

each question need to be answered independently and they need to be at least 350 words.

question #1

Design a study where more than one behavior analytic method is used to change or modify a behavior as part of the intervention.  Discuss the subjects, the target behavior and the combination of interventions that were used to change this behavior.  How might you go about completing a clear component analysis for this study? What might you change in terms of how you implement the behavior change plan to get a clearer picture of what is really going on in your study?  Ethical or practical concerns?

question#2

Using only one of the interventions for change in the study that you designed for the first Discussion topic this week, describe how you might go about including a parametric analysis. What type of additional information might you gain from this type of analysis? How could this new information be used to design a more effective intervention?  Any ethical, practical or socio-cultural considerations to reflect upon when deciding on the different levels of the independent variable?
