In Episode 17, I discuss the final two task list items for Section B: Experimental Design: component and parametric analyses! I talk about what they are and then I briefly discuss an article that conducted a component analysis. If you want to read more about component analyses, you can find more information in Cooper et al., page 221, and if you want more information on parametric analyses, you can find more information in Cooper et al., page 161.  References: Cooper, J.

Component (B-10) and Parametric (B-11) Analyses 

It's a short, sweet, and parsimonious episode today, where I discuss combining design elements both with my own thesis and in Mace, Page, Ivancic, and O'Brien's (1986) article, which will be posted on the Instagram page (@abastudypodcast) for you to download and review.  Reference:  Mace, F.

Combining Design Elements (B-09)

In this episode, I try to explain MB and MP designs to my sister who has very little knowledge in ABA. Listen in to learn more about these designs, their threats to internal validity, their pros and cons, and hear us just talk! We drink a lot of coffee and eat a lot of donuts.  References:  Ledford, J. R. &amp; Gast, D. L. (2018).

Multiple Baseline (B-07) and Multiple Probe (B-08) Designs

On today's episode, I have actual guests who are newly-minted BCBAs (and my favorite BCBAs ever). We discuss how we each studied for the BCBA exam. Listen in for our processes, hilarious banter (not), and to hear Dr. Samudre (aka Dr. Dre) give some sound advice on how to approach ethical dilemmas.  Featured on today's episode: Elena Hitch, M.S., BCBA, LBA; Devin Graley, M.S., BCBA; and Mark Samudre, Ph.D., BCBA.  If you like what I'm doing and want to support the show, please follow on Instagram @abastudypodcast, and consider leaving a 5-star review and feedback!

How We Studied for the Exam

In this episode, I talk about changing criterion designs and I talk about one super cool article (McDougall, 2005) that utilizes this design.
