Question:
SINGLE-SUBJECT RESEARCH DESIGNS
Attributes and Evaluation of Discussion Contributions.
Professional Communications and Writing Guide.
In this Instructor Contact Session, you will hear your instructor talk about single-subject research designs. Listen to the lecture and take notes. Then post a substantive response to the following discussion question:
In this course, you reviewed four basic single subject research designs for analyzing behavior, read published research on them, and created hypothetical studies that conformed to each design''s specifications. These four designs, not including the myriad of variations explored, are:
Reversal designs.
Alternating treatment designs.
Multiple-baseline designs.
Changing criterion designs.
Think about what you have learned about these designs and describe the major differences between these designs in terms of design selection. For example, under what conditions are reversal designs more appropriate to use? Provide examples of experimental conditions to support your explanations.
