Answer to Question 1

Answer should include: A complete and precise operational definition is the first step to achieving a high level of treatment integrity. It provides the basis for training for those who will implement the intervention and those who will judge the level of treatment integrity obtained. Precise definitions are a requisite for meeting technological dimension of applied behavior analysis. Failure to provide a precise operational definition hampers dissemination and proper use of the intervention. Lack of one makes replication and validation of the experiment impossible.

Answer to Question 2

Answer should include: External validity refers to the degree to which a functional relation found reliable and socially valid in a given experiment will hold under different conditions. The generality of findings in applied behavior analysis research is assessed, established, and specified through replication of experiments, both direct and systematic.
