Measurement, data analysis and experimental design

In this unit, you will learn to conduct basic behaviour assessments to inform the selection of treatment goals and objectives, and to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions. In this unit, you will learn about (a) important considerations for selecting and defining target behaviours, (b) various strategies for measuring behaviour, (c) methods for assessing and improving the quality of measurement, and (d) tactics for constructing and interpreting graphic displays of data. In addition, you will learn about specific tactics of scientific research in behaviour analysis, including (a) the components of experiments in behaviour analysis, (b) single subject research designs, and (c) tactics for visually analysing graphed data to identify functional relations.
