Explain how a simultaneous treatments design is different from an alternating treatments design.
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
Suggested answer points:The simultaneous treatments design actually presents both (or all) interventions simultaneously for each episode of the target behavior rather than using the counterbalancing approach. This often occurs in two settings (e.g., two different classrooms) where only one of the interventions is in effect in each classroom. Another possibility would be to have both interventions presented at the same time in the same setting. For example, a participant could be given a choice of two different types of reinforcers (e.g., activity reinforcer, primary reinforcer) to determine which is preferred and more effective in encouraging change in the dependent variable.
