Harout wants to improve the performance of the assembly line worker he manages. Currently, the worker produces an average of 750 units per day in baseline. Harout first implements a feedback system where he posts graphs representing the worker’s daily number of units produced. Almost immediately after the feedback system’s implementation, productivity increases to an average of 1,000 units per day. After two weeks at this level, Harout decides to implement a pay-for-performance system with bonuses based on productivity rates. This performance system produces an average of 1,200 units per day for the next 2 weeks. Harout continues implementing these interventions in this same order without randomization and sees similar behavior patterns. Later, Harout implements the performance system immediately following baseline and finds that it is not as effective as it had been during the original testing period. The results of these data are most likely being impacted by which confound?

Sunyi is a behavior analyst currently working for a drug company that wants to test the efficacy of a new experimental drug to reduce patients’ harmful stereotypy. The company researchers are looking to determine appropriate dosages and want to administer several different doses of the drug to see which dosage is most effective at reducing harmful stereotypy. Which analysis would be the best for the behavior analyst to use?

Harris is a behavior analyst working with a young adult in a group home where the staff-to-resident ratio is typically one staff member to three residents. Han has just moved into the group home and is displaying three different behaviors that appear to be maintained by attention.  Harris has his staff members collect continuous baseline data on the behavior with the most severe topography and collect intermittent baseline data on the other two behaviors. If the intervention effectively changes the severe behavior, Harris plans to begin continuous baseline data collection on the second target behavior while continuing intermittent baseline data collection on the third target behavior. Which experimental design would be most appropriate for Harris to use?
