This week you examined how we quantify and record behavior based on an experimental question. Consider an idea you may have to research using single case design. Select one of the (4) types of experimental questions from Kennedy and construct an experimental question.
To receive full credit you must:
Identify which type of question you selected (2 points).
Provide a measurable dependent variable (5 points).
Provide an independent variable that is behavior analytic in nature (5 points).
Identify how you will quantify your dependent variable? In other words, will you use count, rate, duration, latency, etc.? (5 points).
Determine possible IOA formula for your study (3 points).
They check for AI and plagiarism

Be advised, there are also response costs associated with specific behaviors:
• A response cost of 3 points will be administered for not responding to a peer’s post • A response cost of 3 points will be administered for late submissions (up to 2 days) • A response cost of 1 point will be administered for not reading all of peers’ posts • Discussion posts that are more than two days late will not be accepted unless excused by the
instructor
