| 1 | |
Summarize the history of single-subject (or small-n) designs. |
| | |
|
|
|
| 2 | |
Describe the logic of the single-subject baseline design. How does this design assess reliability? How does it assess external validity? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 3 | |
Define and discuss what is meant by a stability criterion and why it is important in a baseline design. What functions does the stability criterion serve? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 4 | |
Discuss how single-subject designs approach the problem of establishing the reliability and validity of findings. How do single-subject and group-based designs differ in this area? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 5 | |
Describe three problem baselines and what can be done to deal with each. |
| | |
|
|
|
| 6 | |
Under what circumstances would you use a multiple baseline design? Give an example of how this design would be used. |
| | |
|
|
|
| 7 | |
Compare and contrast baseline and dynamic designs. When are dynamic designs likely to be used? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 8 | |
Describe the single-subject discrete trials design. How does it differ from the baseline design? How does it differ from the within-subjects design? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 9 | |
Why is serial dependency a problem for single-subject discrete trials designs? |
| | |
|
|
|
| 10 | |
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the single-subject approach. In what situations would single-subject research not be appropriate? |
