Exam 14: Single-Subject Research Designs

An advantage of single-subject designs is that

The changing-criterion design would be appropriate for gradually increasing the number of pages read per week by an 8th-grade child.

In the notation for single-subject designs (e.g.ABAB),the letter B represents the baseline phase.

In a single-subject phase change design,when does a researcher change phases?

In single-subject research,a group of observations of the same individual under the same conditions is known as

If the observations in the initial baseline phase show a trend in the direction of improved behavior,then the researcher should

Discuss the general advantages and disadvantages of single-subject research compared to traditional group designs.

The success of a single-subject experiment depends on demonstrating that behavior changes when the treatment is implemented and then repeating the demonstration at least one more time.

The advantage of an ABAB design versus a simple AB phase?change design is

A stable trend within a phase is defined as

In a graph of single-subject research data,a clear indication of a treatment effect is

Single-subjects research studies tend to have

In single-subject research (specifically in phase-change designs),a phase consists of

In the notation for single-subject designs (e.g.ABAB),the letter A represents the baseline phase.

The data obtained from a single-subject research study are

A treatment phase is defined as

In an ABAB design the critical element for demonstrating that the treatment causes changes in behavior is

Describe how single-case designs are similar to descriptive case studies and quasi-experimental time-series designs.

Which of the following is an ethical concern for the ABAB design?

In a dismantling design,the researcher
