The Characteristics of Differing Research Designs
1. Briefly describe some of the ethical issues that are unique to single-subject research designs and how you would protect the rights of your subject in this type of research.
2. Briefly define what a Multiple Baseline Design is
3. How would you deal with a Multiple Baseline Design where the intervention you are using is effective in reducing a dangerous self-injurious behavior? Would you return to Baseline after treatment? Why or why not?
Finally, what are some of the drawbacks to the use of the different single-subject research designs, such as Baseline, Dynamic and Discrete Trial Designs?
