Question

A researcher is interested in measuring the hitting and screaming behaviors of a child,treating the hitting first,and treating the screaming later.To do this,the researcher would use a(n)____________ design.​
A) ​multiple-baseline-across-settings
B) ​multiple-baseline-across-behaviors
C) ​A-B-A-B
D) ​alternating treatments

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The multiple-baseline-across-behaviors design allows the researcher to measure the effects of the treatment on two different behaviors (hitting and screaming) and to apply the treatment to one behavior (hitting) before applying it to the other (screaming). The other options do not allow for the sequential treatment of two behaviors.
