I thought it was more about settings, but I guess not!

Definitely D, that's how changing criterion works!
KA

Wait, are we sure it's not about returning to baseline?
DE

Totally agree, D is the right answer!
CH
Cherry

It's all about meeting those predetermined levels!
MO

I recall that changing criterion designs involve setting specific goals for behavior change, so I think D makes the most sense.

I’m a bit uncertain here. I thought experimental control was more about returning to baseline, but that might be for a different design.
TH
Thaddeus

I think I practiced a question like this before, and it was about how behavior changes to meet specific levels. So, I’m leaning towards option D.

I remember that in a changing criterion design, the focus is on gradual changes in behavior, but I'm not sure if it's about settings or individuals.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The changing criterion design shows experimental control through the systematic changes in the target behavior, which should be observed across the different intervention phases. So the answer is C, when returning to baseline.
RE

Okay, I've got this. The changing criterion design demonstrates experimental control because the behavior change is observed when the intervention conditions are systematically altered. So the correct answer has to be D, to meet predetermined levels.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know changing criterion designs involve systematically changing the target behavior over time, but I'm not totally clear on how that relates to experimental control. I'll have to think this through more carefully.

This question is asking about the key feature of a changing criterion design, which is a type of experimental control. I think the answer is C, since the change in behavior should be observed when returning to baseline conditions.

Changing criterion design? Sounds like my daily struggle to meet my productivity goals. Where's the 'changing excuses' design when you need it?

Experimental control? More like experimental chaos if you ask me! Let's just flip a coin and call it a day.
PO

C) when returning to baseline.
EM

B) across individuals.
JE
Jesse

A) across settings.
MI
Mickie

I'm going with A. A change in behavior across settings is a clear sign of experimental control.
JE
Jenelle

D) to meet predetermined levels.
VE
Vernell

I agree, a change in behavior across settings shows experimental control.
BL
Blossom

A) across settings.
GE
Gerry

Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe B? A change in behavior across individuals could also demonstrate experimental control.
YO
Youlanda

C seems like the correct answer to me. Experimental control is shown when the behavior returns to baseline.
BE
Bernardine

I think the answer is D. The changing criterion design shows a change in behavior to meet predetermined levels, which demonstrates experimental control.
WI
Wilford

Exactly, it's all about showing that the intervention is what caused the behavior change.
ED
Edelmira

So, experimental control is demonstrated when behavior changes to meet those predetermined levels.
WI
Winfred

Yes, that's correct. It's important to have a clear criteria for behavior change in this design.
NE
Nell

I agree, the changing criterion design involves changing behavior to meet predetermined levels.
HI
Hildred

I'm not sure, but I think it could also be A) across settings, as behavior may vary depending on the environment.
JO
Joye

I agree with Chery, because in a changing criterion design, the behavior changes to meet specific goals.
CH
Chery

I think the answer is D) to meet predetermined levels.
