Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The changing criterion research design involves setting gradually decreasing goal levels for the target behavior. This design is useful for investigating the effects of small incremental changes on behavior and can be used to assess the extent to which behavior can be shaped or modified over time. The other options (multi-element, ABA reversal, and AB designs) do not involve gradually decreasing goal levels for the target behavior.
