Single Subject Design questions:

1- There are two broadly approaches to experimental research:

A. Return to baseline level, number of baselines.

B. Baseline and treatment.
C. Group design and single subject designs.

2- What does experimental research refer to?

A. Treat a person individually.

B. Group of persons.
C. Collect data on the dependent variable without any intervention.

3- What does single subject design refer to:

A. Group of persons.
B. Treat a person individually.
C. To collect data on the same subject under two conditions or phases.

4- What are the most important characteristics of single subject research?

A. Mortality, testing, history.

B. Represents the treatment or the intervention that is introduced or maintained for a period of time.
C. Reliable measurement, repeated measurement, description of conditions.

5- Why researchers use graphics in a singles subject research?

Because they can present their data and illustrate the effects of a particular intervention or
treatment.

6- What is the basic method in a single-subject experiment?

The A-B-A. (Called Reversal). TALVEZ ES LA RESPUESTA

7- In single subject research, what is a dependent variable?

The dependent variable always is the subject´s problem/ behavior.

8- In single subject research, what is an independent variable?

It is the intervention or the treatment that will be applied.

9- What is a baseline?

It is the phase in which the researcher observes the behavior in its natural way, without any
intervention. Also, baseline is the phase that shows how frequently the problem or behavior exists.
This phase is represented by the letter A.

10- In a single subject research, what is a treatment?

The second condition is the TREATMENT phase (signified by the letter B). It represents the treatment
or the intervention that is introduced or maintained for a period of time.

It is the phase that represents the intervention that is introduced in order to create effects in the
behavior. This phase is represented by the letter B.

11- When do we use multiple baselines?

When it is not possible or ethical to withdraw a treatment and return to the baseline condition.
DUDA

12- Mention the threats to internal validity of single subject design.

BUSCAR RESPUESTA:

- The length of the baseline and intervention conditions

- The Number of variables changed when moving from one condition to another
- The degree and speed of change
- The Return to baseline Level
- Independence of behavior
- Number of baselines

13- What does it refer “condition length” in Single Subject design?

It refers to how long the baseline and intervention conditions are in effect and to the number of
data points gathered during a condition.
14- Single-subject designs are most effective in controlling threats for:

- Subject characteristics - Mortality

- Testing – History

15- Single subject research is weak when it comes for external validity, why?

Because there´s a total rely on replications across individual instead of groups.
