This text introduces readers to the history, epistemology, and strategies of single-case research design. The authors offer concrete information on how to observe, measure, and interpret change in relevant outcome variables and how to design strategies that promote causal inferences. Show
Key Features Includes case vignettes on specific single-case designs; Describes clinical and applied case studies; Draws on multiple examples of single-case designs from published journals across a wide range of disciplines; Covers recent developments in applied research, including meta-analysis and the distinction between statistical and clinical significance; Provides pedagogical tools to help readers master the material, including a glossary, interim summaries, end-of-chapter review questions, and activities that encourage active processing of material. Intended Audience This text is intended for students and practitioners in a variety of disciplines—including psychology, nursing, physical therapy, and occupational therapy—who are increasingly called upon to document the effectiveness of interventions.

Powered by Cognero.Page 1 What is the advantage of using a withdrawal design as part of an experiment?If a withdrawal design was used, the researchers would likely conclude the study with a second intervention phase, which would result in an ABAB design. Doing so allows for an additional replication, which adds strength to the scientific conclusions the study will support.
What is the value of using an ABAB design?1 Reversal or ABAB design. The reversal design demonstrates the effect of the intervention by alternating the presentation and removal of the program over time. The purpose of the design is to demonstrate a functional relationship between the target behavior and the intervention.
