A Reliability Study On The Self-Report Behavioral Measure For Evaluating Therapeutic Outcome, Sharon B. Anderson
A Reliability Study On The Self-Report Behavioral Measure For Evaluating Therapeutic Outcome, Sharon B. Anderson
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
Statement of the Problem
Because the original reliability study using the Self-Report Behavioral Measure for Evaluating Therapeutic Outcomes (Behavioral Checklist) used college students as subjects, and since the target population for use with this instrument is a client population, there is a need for a reliability study using clients in treatment as subjects.
Objective
The objective of this study was to assess the reliability of the Behavioral Checklist using a client population. The secondary objective was to revise the Behavioral Checklist, if necessary, in order to meet the standards of reliability for testing instruments.
Methods and Procedure
Three reliability measures …
An Experimental Analysis Of Higher-Order Stimulus Control In Humans, Michael B. Gatch
An Experimental Analysis Of Higher-Order Stimulus Control In Humans, Michael B. Gatch
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
This dissertation explored sane effects of context on the development of stimulus classes and the transfer of stimulus functions to novel stimuli. The research was also intended to demonstrate the utility of current behavioral theories for prediction and control of contextual effects on class formation. In Experiment lA, contextual control of stimulus classes was established successfully in all six college-student subjects. Matching-to-sample training successfully transferred the function of the contextual stimuli to four novel stimuli, whim resulted in the formation of two three-member classes of contextual stimuli. The first portion of Experiment 1B replicated Experiment 1A with three additional subjects. …
