REply 8-1 CC

One way to increase internal and external validity is by balancing, meaning we distribut the effects of an extraneous variable across treatment conditions of the experiment. We do not want to sacrifice internal validity for external validity, we must first have internal validity before we reach external validity. If you reach internal validity first, then you have a better chance at finding external validity as well. Balancing can be done as easily as assigning on half of the subjects to one room and the other half of the subjects in another room (Hansen & Myers, 2012). Balancing is a really s...

Could there be negative consequences of implementing positive reinforcmenet to reward a child's academic achievements? If so, to which extend?

For this assignment, you will demonstrate the skills needed for conducting an indirect assessment. This generally is how practitioners begin the FBA.
