Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to refer to the observations of an individual's behavior before the experimental treatment is called the behavioral baseline. This is because it represents the individual's typical level of behavior prior to the introduction of the experimental treatment, and serves as a comparison point for assessing the impact of the treatment. Options A, C, and D are not accurate descriptions of this particular aspect of single-case experimental design.
