COMPLETE QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS\VERIFIED 100% \GRADED A+
Application and key points surrounding single-case design and experimental
research such as:
independent variable
dependent variables
methodological design
types of validity
baseline logic
function relations
single-case design
A wide variety of research designs that use a form of experimental reasoning
called baseline logic to demonstrate the effects of the independent variable on
the behavior of individual subjects.
Single case design (primarily used in ABA)
Experimental control
Participants serves as their own control
Variables are measured repeatedly and defined operationally
Independent variable is manipulated actively
Bottom-up approach (data is used to derived theories)

independent variable
(the intervention) are those that are manipulated or examined
Examples: functional communication training, errorless learning for new
behaviors, non-contingent reinforcement (e.g. teacher praise, access to
tangibles)
Dependent variables
-behavior
-The measurement system used to record the behavior
-are what is examined to see if there are changes
Examples: words read per minute, duration of disruptive behaviors (e.g. tantrum),
percentage of sessions that student asked for help from teacher independently

Advantage and disadvantages of single-case design
Advantages of SCD
Tests conceptual theories
Validates interventions effectiveness
Focuses on the individual
Demonstrates gernlization
Cost-effective and reliable
-only requires 1 bx
-repated replication makes strong case for FR
Disadvantages of single-case design
The individual serves as their own control so it is difficult to conclude that
treatment alone resulted in differences as other factors change over time.
-confoudning variables
-hard to determine external validity
