The integrity of independent variables in behavior analysis
Open accessAbstract
Establishing a functional relationship between the independent and the dependent variable is the primary focus of applied behavior analysis. Accurate and reliable description and observation of both the independent and dependent variables are necessary to achieve this goal. Although considerable attention has been focused on ensuring the integrity of the dependent variable in the operant literature, similar effort has not been directed at ensuring the integrity of the independent variable. Inaccurate descriptions of the application of the independent variable may threaten the reliability and validity of operant research data. A survey of articles in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis demonstrated that the majority of articles published do not use any assessment of the actual occurrence of the independent variable and a sizable minority do not provide operational definitions of the independent variable. The feasibility and utility of ensuring the integrity of the independent variable is described.

Assessment of treatment delivery consists of verifying the occurrence of essential components (protocol adherence), the nonoccurrence of prohibited protocol deviations (absence of treatment contamination), and sufficient treatment differentiation.
“The assessment of treatment delivery consists of verifying the occurrence of essential components (protocol adherence) and the nonoccurrence of prohibited protocol deviations (absence of treatment contamination) as well as verifying sufficient treatment differentiation [2,3,8,10].”

Most studies have not verified whether the fidelity of their treatments was adequate.
“Notwithstanding its importance, several reviews demonstrated that most studies have not verified whether the fidelity of their treatments was adequate [2,3,7,10,11].”

MATD needs to verify whether during delivery of treatment important treatment elements are actually addressed (maximal protocol adherence) while proscribed elements are not (minimal or no contamination), and whether the treatment can be differentiated from other treatments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
