| Term | Definition |
| a posteriori | Inductive knowledge that comes only through experience and testing. |
| a priori | Deductive knowledge that is independent of experience - thus 2+2=4 is true everywhere. |
| ABA DESIGN | A way of designating a sequence of phases in an experiment. The first condition is assigned the label of A, and each different condition is given a new letter. The first condition is often a control condition, but A can also refer to an experimental condition if it comes first. |
| accidental sampling | Menurut Sugiyono (2004:77) adalah mengambil responden sebagai sampel berdasarkan kebetulan, yaitu siapa saja yang secara kebetulan bertemu dengan peneliti dapat digunakan sebagai sampel bila orang yang kebetulan ditemui cocok sebagai sumber data. Teknik ini biasanya dilakukan karena keterbatasan waktu, tenaga, dan dana sehingga tidak dapat mengambil sampel yang besar dan jauh. Keuntungan dari pada teknik ini adalah terletak pada ketepatan peneliti memilih sumber data sesuai dengan variabel yang diteliti (Arikunto, 2002).
