Single-subject designs
A type of experimental design in which each subject serves as their own control, and the effects of treatment are compared to the subject’s own baseline data.
D.4 Identify the defining features of single-case experimental designs (e.g., individuals serve as their own controls, repeated measures, prediction, verification, replication).
Steady state strategy
A deliberate process in experimentation where the dependent variable is repeatedly exposed to the independent variable, controlling for and/or eliminating any extraneous influences on the dependent variable and achieving a
Treatment package
An intervention plan, typically for behavior reduction, with two or more independent variables interacting simultaneously.
Verification
Demonstrating that the independent variable alone is responsible for the effect on the dependent variable by removing the independent variable and observing the dependent variable return to baseline levels.
