Single Subject Research Design Quiz

What is the primary characteristic of ABAB design?

• Single exposure to one condition

• Repeated exposure to two different conditions

• Random assignment to groups

• No control group

In withdrawal design, what is the purpose of the baseline phase?

• To introduce the intervention to the participant

• To establish the participant's initial behavior before any intervention is introduced

• To observe the participant's behavior after the intervention

• To skip the initial phase and move directly to the intervention

What is the key feature of changing criterion design?

• Using the same criteria for reinforcement or punishment

• Ignoring the criteria for reinforcement or punishment

• Randomly changing criteria without any pattern

• Systematic manipulation of criteria for reinforcement or punishment

What is the main advantage of reversal design?

• Establishing cause-and-effect relationship

• Increasing the likelihood of bias in the results

• Creating confusion in the research design

• Making it difficult to draw conclusions

In ABAB design, what does the second 'A' represent?

• Second trial

• Second phase or condition

• First phase

• Third condition

What is the main limitation of withdrawal design?

• Self-selection bias

• Lack of control group

• Limited sample size

• Inability to establish causation

How does changing criterion design differ from other single subject research designs?

• Changing criterion design only focuses on one specific behavior

• Changing criterion design does not involve measuring behavior

• Changing criterion design involves using a control group

• Changing criterion design involves changing the target behavior over time

What are the potential ethical concerns related to reversal design?

• Withdrawing effective treatment, potential harm to participants, and the need for informed consent

• Not needing informed consent

• No potential harm to participants

• Using ineffective treatment

What are the potential threats to internal validity in ABAB design?

• Weather conditions, population growth, technological advancements

• Alien invasion, zombie apocalypse, robot uprising

• Social media influence, economic recession, political instability

• History, maturation, testing, instrumentation, regression to the mean, and selection bias

How does withdrawal design address the issue of stability of baseline data?

• By comparing baseline data with data collected during the withdrawal phase

• By ignoring baseline data completely

• By comparing baseline data with data collected during the intervention phase

• By using a different method to collect withdrawal phase data
