Document Summary
Figures and tables from research methods for the behavioral sciences. F. j. , foranzo, l. b. (2019) research methods for the behavioral sciences. Describe the goal of single-case research and explain how single-case designs are related to other experimental designs, the descriptive case study, and the quasi-experimental time-series design. Identify the basic elements of a single-case experimental research design that makes it a true experiment: manipulation and control. Describe the purpose of a phase in a single-case design and explain how patterns within a phase are defined, including the importance of stability of data. Explain how researchers identify a "significant" difference b/w two phases in a single-case study. Describe the structure of abab reversal designs and explain how the results from this design can demonstrate cause-and-effect relationship. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of an abab reversal design and describe the circumstances in which it should or should not be used.
