+What are Single Case Research Designs?
Category of experimental behavior research
Investigates causal or functional relationships
Independent variables (IVs)
Dependent variables (DVs)
Functional relationship
+Why use Single Case Research Designs? Evaluation and Assessment
Empirically Supported Treatments/Evidence-Based Practices
Accountability
Effective
Data Sharing
Small Data Sets
+Examples of Possible Independent Variables: Individual counseling
Group counseling
Reinforcement
Rewards
Punishment
Change of seating arrangement
+Examples of Possible Dependent Variables: Student’s social interactions
Student’s behavior
Frequency of outbursts in class
Frequency of homework
Academic performance
+How to begin . . .
Identify the behavior to be addressed (DV)
Objective
Clear
Complete
+How to begin . . .
Identify the dimension of the behavior to be measured
Frequency of the behavior
Duration of the behavior
Intensity of the behavior
Multiple dimensions
+Measurement Procedure
Selecting measurement procedure
Characteristics of setting
Target behavior and dimension to be addressed
Nature of intervention
Resources available
+Types of Measurement
Permanent products
Observational recordings
+Observation
Observe and record baseline
Understanding of behavior (pre-intervention)
Frequency of behavior
Predicted frequency of behavior
+Implementation
Implement intervention(s)
Continue to gather data
Assessment of validity
+Reporting
Sample size
Record multiple baselines
Use reliable measures
Report reliability/validity of measures
