Intervention only design (B) - correct answer✔✔Monitor behavior after intervention and ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
observe significant change in behaviour ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Baseline-Intervention design (A-B) - correct answer✔✔Monitor behaviour before and after ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
intervention and observe behaviour. ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
, Weaknesses of A-B design - correct answer✔✔Results may be due to alternative ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
explanations
- History ||\\//||
- Maturation
||\\//|| ||\\//||
-Testing effects ||\\//||
Successive conditions (A-B-A-B) - correct answer✔✔Monitor behaviour before ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
intervention, and then after intervention, then remove treatment and observe behaviour, ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
and then implement intervention again and observe treatment. If behaviour changes only
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
during treatment, we can rule out alternative explanations and conclude that the treatment
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
works.
Efficacy studies - correct answer✔✔Emphasise the internal validity of the experimental
||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
design. Very controlled, dont have much external validity.

||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
Effectiveness studies - correct answer✔✔Naturalistic setting, not closing monitored. Results ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//|| ||\\//||
are less impressive but results are more generalisable.
