Applied Behavior Analysis

Cooper, J. O., Heron, T. E., & Heward, W. L. (2020). Applied behavior analysis 3rd edition. Pearson.

Read Chapter 8.

Chapter 8 covers reversal and multielement designs, both commonly used experimental designs in ABA research. The chapter discusses how reversal designs demonstrate the effects of an intervention by alternating between baseline and treatment conditions. It also explains how multielement designs allow for the rapid comparison of two or more interventions to determine their relative effectiveness.
