Developed an interventions to increase behavior deficits and decrease behavior excesses. In this assignment, come up with a plan to evaluate the effectiveness of two of the intervention plans. choose any two of the intervention plans to evaluate: Annie's plan to reduce skin picking, Annie's verbal behavior plan, Jimmy's contingency contract, or the group home token economy.

Prior to coming up with an evaluation plan, go back to your graded Unit 4 and Unit 6 assignments and read your instructor's feedback. Make any recommended changes to your intervention plans before developing an evaluation plan.

Evaluating Your Intervention Plans:

Begin the evaluative essay by describing how single-subject experimental designs are used in behavior analysis to evaluate interventions. Include one reason why single-subject designs are considered superior to group designs in evaluating behavior change. Then, describe your evaluation plan for the two intervention plans you selected. Each evaluation plan should include a different research design so that two different research designs are covered within your assignment.

Each evaluation plan must include:

The measurement system you are using to collect data on specific behavior(s). Include the operational definitions.

How often you are collecting data.

Who is going to collect that data.

The research design you are using to evaluate your treatment.

An explanation of why that research design was the best choice.

How the research design would demonstrate functional control of the intervention over the behavior(s).

Describe how you will know if your treatment was effective - what would a visual analysis of the graphed data show? You do not need to create a graph, but you should describe what your graph would show if your treatment was effective.
