Small N Designs Flashcards
(14 cards)
What is the focus of Small N Research Designs?
Individual-level change using repeated measurement.
What does Small N Design refer to?
Single-case experimental design focused on individual behaviour change.
What are the components of Baseline Logic?
- Prediction
- Verification
- Replication
- Affirming the Consequent
What is Prediction in Baseline Logic?
Expecting future behaviour to follow the baseline trend.
What does Verification entail in Baseline Logic?
Removing the intervention to see if behaviour returns to baseline.
What is Replication in Baseline Logic?
Repeating the intervention to confirm the effect.
What does Affirming the Consequent involve?
Observing expected change when IV is introduced.
What is a Reversal (ABAB) Design?
Alternating baseline and intervention to test effect.
What is the structure of a Reversal (ABAB) Design?
Baseline–Treatment–Baseline–Treatment.
What is the purpose of an Alternating Treatments Design?
Quickly compare multiple interventions across sessions.
What does a Multiple Baseline Design involve?
Stagger intervention across behaviours, settings, or individuals.
What is a key feature of the Multiple Baseline Design?
No withdrawal needed.
What does a Changing Criterion Design do?
Gradually adjust performance standards to shape behaviour.
How does behaviour change in a Changing Criterion Design?
Behaviour is shaped gradually, showing experimental control.
