Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
PTB co-founder Dana Meller puts your understanding of experimental design to the test. What are the critical phases required for a successful and robust experimental setup.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-5: Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
Learn what the most utilized experimental design is for generalization effect. PTB co-founder Dana Meller shares this design’s key features and benefits, allowing us to assess the effects of an independent variable across various settings, subjects, and behaviors.

Test your ABA terminology with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she offers guidance to identify the specific experimental design relating to a scenario.

Experimental design causes a lot of anxiety. PTB co-founder Dana Meller shares a few shortcuts to help on exam day, eliminating some answer options but also, more importantly, give you a head start on understanding the basics behind each design.
Test your understanding of ethical considerations in experimental designs with PTB co-founder Dana Meller. Let’s review a BCBA® mock exam question about reversal design and the nuances and concerns associated with this experimental setup.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-5: Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
PTB co-founder Dana Meller hones your experimental design skills with a focus on the alternating treatments design’s confounding variable.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-5: Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
Test your Experimental Design skills with PTB co-founder Dana Meller as she reviews and breaks down a mock exam question about reversal design variations that display only one reversal. Included is a description of A-B-A, B-A-B, and A-B-A-B reversal designs.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-5: Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
Test your Experimental Design skills with a breakdown of a BCBA® mock exam question about the identification of a three-phase experimental design. Included is a detailed comparison between four different reversal designs: ABC reversal, ABA reversal, BAB reversal, and ABAB reversal. As a bonus, Dana also provides examples of instances in which each of the reversal designs would be implemented.
Refer to BCBA® Task List (5th ed.) Section D-5: Use single-subject experimental designs (e.g., reversal, multiple baseline, multielement, changing criterion).
An experimental design in which the effect of one independent variable is measured and evaluated within and across combinations of two or more subjects, behaviors, or settings.
An experimental design in which an initial baseline phase is followed by a series of treatment phases consisting of successive, stepwise, and gradually changing criteria for which reinforcement or punishment …
Any experimental design in which responding is reversed to a level obtained in a previous condition by alternating between specific independent variables and baseline conditions.
A confounding effect on a subject’s behavior in a given condition that results from the subject’s experience with a previous condition.
