1.

Analyze level, trend, and variability of data in each condition for each
participant. NOTE: You should be looking at each individual phase and should not
be comparing data across phases at this point. Determine if there are clear data
patterns within all conditions. Explain your findings. (5 points)

a. If yes, identify level and stability, trend direction and stability, and the
amount of variability for each condition and move to Step 5. Explain your
findings.

b. If no, discontinue visual analysis and explain why experimental control


cannot be established. Explain your findings.

2. Analyze level, trend, and variability/stability of data across adjacent conditions.


Determine if behavior change occurred across adjacent conditions. Using
information from step 4a, compare adjacent conditions for changes in magnitude of
levels and stability, changes in trend direction and stability, and changes in
variability or range of dependent measures across adjacent conditions. Explain your
findings. (5 points)

a. If yes, behavior change occurred across adjacent conditions, proceed to


Step 6. Explain your findings.

b. If no, discontinue visual analysis. Explain why experimental control


cannot be established.

3. Analyze the consistency of behavior change across conditions. Explain your


findings. (5 points)

a. If yes, decide is data changes are consistent with predicted patterns.


Explain your findings.

b. If yes, identify the magnitude of change across conditions. Explain your


findings.

c. If no, discontinue visual analysis and explain why experimental control


cannot be established.

4. Make a summative conclusion regarding experimental control and functional


relation to answer your research question. You should have a summative conclusion
for each participant. Remember to discuss basic effects and functional relationships.
(2 points)

5. Calculate the mean, median, and range across each condition for each
participant. Create a table, in APA format, to summarize these data. (3 points)
