_______________ occurs when stable responding within each phase predicts the behavioral levels of subsequent phases.

A. Replication
B. Verification
C. Prediction
D. Reversal

Question 2

Assume an A-B-C design has been effective and ends with both the B and C interventions being implemented. Explain how the sequencing or cumulative effect diminishes the researcher's ability to assume there is a functional relationship between the independent variables and the dependent variable.

What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

One issue is that there has been no replication of the effect of the two interventions as one would find in a withdrawal design.
A second issue is that the sequencing or cumulative effect of B and C interventions makes it difficult to pinpoint which intervention, or if only both interventions, or the sequence of the interventions implementation actually impacts the dependent variable favorably.
