A within-subject, single-baseline design that uses AB and reversal sequences to identify effects of manipulating a specific parameter of a procedure is called a(n) ______ design.
A) AB
B) reversal
C) changing criterion
D) parametric

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The described design specifically involves manipulating a parameter (or level) of a procedure, making it a parametric design. The use of AB and reversal sequences is common in such designs to isolate the effects of changing the parameter, but these are not specific to parametric designs and can also be used in other types of within-subject designs like AB and reversal. Changing criterion designs, on the other hand, involve gradually changing the criteria for a behavior rather than manipulating a procedural parameter.
