Exam 15: Single-Case Design Evaluation

How many phases does the single-case design evaluation process have?

Stability refers to a clear predictable pattern from the baseline to the ______ phase.

Which of the following is a type of single-case designs that can be used for evaluation?

A stable baseline is indicated by a flatline usually across at least ______ data points.

The target behavior must be amenable to being measured repeatedly.

A ______ pattern is one where there is a predictable pattern to the occurrence of the problem behavior.

In intervention-only designs, there is implementation of the intervention but no ______ of the targeted behavior.

A ______ score is a score that is used to indicate whether someone's score puts him or her in a certain category.

A social work researcher should start an intervention as soon as possible.

Why does intervention-only design not allow one to study the effectiveness of an intervention?

In a standard notation of OOOOO X OOOOO, what does the X stand for?

Treatment effectiveness is evaluated by looking at the observations during the ______ phase and comparing them with the observations during the baseline phase.

The underlying assumption of single-case design is that introduction of the intervention results in a change in the ______.

According to the text, how many observations should you have?

Which of the following is the most important?

Name and describe a threat to simultaneous intervention and observation design's internal validity.

The simultaneous intervention and observation design consistently controls for many of the threats to internal validity.

Why should you not use single-case design evaluation in evaluating your clinical practice?

With external validity, if the changes in the target behavior are due to the client recording his or her behavior, what is that called and what does that mean?
