Multiple Baseline and Alternating Treatment Designs in Practice!
For this discussion, you will begin by selecting one of the scenarios below and provide information related to the scenario in your response. Be sure to identify either Scenario A or Scenario B in the title of your main post
SCENARIO B
Lydia is a young woman with a traumatic brain injury who is learning new vocational skills using a video modeling strategy as part of her workforce program. She has been working on cleaning skills so that she can get a job as part of an office cleaning crew for the local bank chain. Currently, Lydia is vacuuming the floors in her training location before going out to the other two bank locations. Determine which design the analyst should use to measure and represent Lydia’s accuracy in vacuuming the bank’s floors.
Please respond to the following:
- Determine whether a multiple baseline design or alternating treatment design would be an appropriate SCED to use for this case.
- Provide a rationale for your decision, grounded in the characteristics, advantages, and limitations of the design.
- Create a hypothetical set of data for the case and create a graphical representation of the data using Microsoft Excel.
Save your graph as a PDF document and attach it to your discussion post. Please be sure to review the graphing tutorial video resource in your readings to help you create your graph. Hi Class!
If youd like some additional guidance and examples as you work on your Unit 7 Discussionespecially the graphing componenthere are three excellent, practice-friendly articles to support you:
1. WATTS & STENHOFF (2021) CREATING MULTIPLE-BASELINE GRAPHS WITH PHASE CHANGE LINES IN MICROSOFT EXCEL
- This tutorial provides step-by-step guidance for creating high-quality multiple baseline design (MBD)graphs using Excel. It also teaches how to format graphs to meet behavioral graphing standards (e.g., x/y ratio, phase-change lines, axis labels).
- This is especially helpful if you want a clear model of how to present a multiple-baseline graphfor your hypothetical dataset in your discussion board post!
2. DILLER ET AL. (2016) VISUAL ANALYSIS OF DATA IN A MULTIELEMENT DESIGN
- This article focuses on interpreting and evaluating multielement (alternating treatment) graphs, including how features like mean shifts, variability, and trend influence visual analysis.
- This is useful conceptually because it helps clarify what good multielement data look like and how analysts evaluate treatment differentiation.
3. CHOK (2019) CREATING FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS GRAPHS USING MICROSOFT EXCEL 2016 FOR PCS
- Although focused on functional analyses, this tutorial includes an entire section on creating multielement graphs in Excel (see pages with Figs. 4044). It walks you through formatting, connecting data paths, adjusting axes, and producing clean, publication-quality multielement graphs.
- If you’re graphing an alternating treatment designfor one of the discussion board scenarios, this resource offers practical steps and visuals to help guide your work.
MBD Graphing Tutorials + Templates
- I am sharing two recordings I have made of tutorial videos walking through the process step-by-step.
- Additionally, you will find attached the graphing template I createdthat already has these graph formats set up for you so you can easily reference them alongside the videos.
- The videos will help walk you through how the templates are structured and how to use them when creating your graphs.
