Question #: 80
Topic #: 3

John's instructional program has successfully increased the number of words he reads correctly per minute. The procedures used include special worksheets, contingent reinforcement for number of words read correctly, and peer tutoring. The behavior analyst wants to determine which part or parts of the treatment have been effective, so he systematically dismantles the treatment and withdraws elements until the reading no longer improves. The behavior analyst is completing

Acomponent analysis.

Bmulti-element design.

Cparametric examination.

Dreversal design.

I thought it was a multi-element design at first, but this makes sense!

Component analysis is all about figuring out which parts work best.

Wait, can you really just take away parts and see what happens?

Sounds like a classic component analysis!

Component analysis sounds right, especially since they are withdrawing elements systematically to see the effect on reading improvement.

I feel like this is definitely not a reversal design, but I can't quite recall the specifics of parametric examination.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about multi-element designs being used to compare different interventions at the same time.

I think this might be a component analysis since they are breaking down the treatment to see what works.

Okay, I've got this. The behavior analyst is systematically dismantling the treatment and withdrawing elements to see which parts were effective. That's definitely a component analysis. I feel confident I can select the right answer here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. The question mentions withdrawing elements of the treatment, so it could be a reversal design. But the part about determining which parts were effective makes me think it's more of a component analysis. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This looks like a component analysis question. I'm pretty confident I can identify the key elements of the treatment and how the behavior analyst is systematically removing them to determine which parts were effective.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Is it a component analysis, where they're looking at the individual parts of the treatment? Or is it a multi-element design, where they're comparing different treatment components? I'll have to re-read the question and think it through step-by-step.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The options seem similar, but I'll try to pick the one that captures the core idea of conflict resolution.

I don't know, the reversal design seems like the most fun option. It's like a scientific version of 'now you see it, now you don't'!

Parametric examination? Really? That's more about adjusting the intensity or quantity of a treatment, not isolating the effective elements. Clearly, component analysis is the way to go here.

I believe it could also be considered a multi-element design, as they are testing different elements of the treatment.

Hmm, multi-element design could work too, testing out different treatment components simultaneously. But component analysis seems more fitting for this scenario.

I'd go with the reversal design. Systematically withdrawing elements until the reading stops improving? Textbook reversal design right there.

The component analysis sounds like the right approach to identify the effective parts of the treatment. Gotta break it down to see what's really working!
