Deck 15: Multiple Designs for Single Systems: Baselines, Targets, Crossovers, and Series

Question 1

A multiple baseline across three problems has the same power to generate causal inferences as three A-B designs.

Answer 1

False

Question 2

Multiple target designs have roughly the same power for generating causal inferences as the multiple baseline designs.

Answer 2

False

Question 3

Intervention produces just as clear results when you use different techniques in each separate intervention phase in a multiple baseline design, as when you use the same intervention technique.

Answer 3

False

Question 4

The main use of multiple target designs is to:

A) Establish causal relationships
B) Generate hypotheses
C) Both a and b
D) Neither a nor b

Question 5

All three forms of multiple baseline design provide equally strong bases for observing significant change in client conditions and as a logical basis for inferring causality of a successful intervention.

Question 6

Since multiple baseline designs test different phenomena, they are not recommended as replacements for removal designs.

Question 7

To avoid the situation of having the problem in the second baseline change at the same time as the first intervention is introduced, ...

A) Use independent baselines
B) Use as many baselines as possible
C) Use a removal in one baseline
D) All of the above
