1. Single Subject Designs

2. Baseline A Intervention B AB Design Basic single-subject design. Primary advantage of the AB design is simplicity. It provides the teacher with a quick uncomplicated means of comparing students’ behavior before and after an intervention. Primary disadvantage is that it cannot be used to make a confident assumption of a functional relationship. The AB design is vulnerable to confounding variables. Baseline A Intervention B

3. Multiple Baseline Design Permits simultaneous analysis of more than one dependent variable. May be used: Across Behaviors Two or more behaviors associated with one student in a sable setting Across Individuals Two or more students exhibiting the same behavior in a single setting Across Settings Two or more settings in which one student is exhibiting the same behavior Baseline A Intervention B Baseline A Intervention B

6. Baseline A Baseline A Intervention B Intervention B Baseline A Baseline A Intervention B Intervention B Reversal – ABAB - Design Used to analyze the effectiveness of a single independent variable. Involves the sequential application and withdrawal of an intervention to verify the intervention’s effect on a behavior. Primary advantage of the ABAB design is the ability to ascertain a functional relationship between the intervention and behavior change Primary disadvantage is that treatment must be stopped. ABAB should not be used when: The behavior is dangerous When the target behavior is not reversible because it is associated with learning.

7. Number of Correct Responses Session Baseline A Goal = 4 B Goal = 6 C Goal = 8 D Goal = 10 E Changing Criteria Design: ABCD…. Used to evaluate the effectiveness of an independent variable by demonstrating that a behavior can be Incrementally changed over time. This design is especially appropriate to use when the terminal objective is considerably distant from the student’s baseline performance level. In addition, this design is well suited for measuring the effectiveness of a shaping procedure.

8. Alternating Treatment Design Allows comparison of the effectiveness of more than one treatment or intervention strategy on a single dependent variable.
