Alternating Treatment Designs

[@Dr.BarbaraLewis]

Appreciate, keeping this presentation real with solid principle (Repeating)

[@carlastinton3770]

As a grad school student studying ABA, your videos are soooo helpful. Thank you!

[@uberFilipi]

I understand this now! Awesome. So easy to understand when you explain it. So glad to be in your course!

[@love2travel514]

Mannn I don't think we appreciate you as much as we should. Thanks bro!

[@rafaeladar925]

I find your videos very helpful, thank you for creating and posting them. I'm a bit confused still about the use of Alternating Treatments Design. Let's say you find that treatment A works better for the client than treatment B. But you still lack a control condition (i.e. baseline) to determine the effect it has on the behavior, so what's the benefit then?

[@kristy1785]

Awesome video! All of your experimental design videos are terrific!

[@PsychCore]

Let us know what else we should cover!

Christ, I wish you were doing the lectures for my online classes.

[@PsychCore]

We can at least help here.

This helped so much, it made sense with the modules the I've been doing in class. Pretty cool.

[@sharonesafia9161]

why don't you draw a line across a phase change in general? is it because you usually have a baseline that separates the treatments?

[@PsychCore]

Because they are different conditions. They don’t “connect” one is a pattern of responding under one condition. The next line is a pattern of responding in a different condition. There is no recording behavior during the switch - it’s one or the other. Hence no way to ‘connect’ the line logically.

[@sharonesafia9161]

Hey Ryan! What's a phase change?

[@PsychCore]

Think condition change

[@davoudderogar]

A phase change line is a vertical line transposed on a graph to indicate when the data are collected during different conditions, or phases. The most common phase change line is between baseline GRAPHING AND INTERPRETING Page 8 86 (or initial) data collection and intervention implementation.

[@davoudderogar]

Thank you for the value. Alternating design is to find the best effective treatments ultimately, right? At first, I thought it was an alternative design since I am new at this, but this could be the best alternative to find the solution for target behaviors. Again thank you for all the videos.

[@PsychCore]

Well I think it’s less specific than that. An alternating treatment design is simply a useful design. Could you use it for that? Sure. Is it the best? Who knows. Does it minimize some threats to validity? Yup. Does it not address others? Yup. Just like all designs. It’s not a panacea - just one option in your tool kit. I suppose it could!

[@PsychCore]

Oh - and you’re welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@davoudderogar]

@@PsychCore wow. you are really awesome for the qucik response. Thanks a million. Love your videos. You make understanding so much easier.

The scientist wearing the blue shirt is the same type of scientist who got Marty McFly in a whole lot of trouble, be careful folks.
