Q

ABAB reversal design:

A

A single case design in which baseline and intervention conditions are repeated with the same person.

You essentially perform an experiment twice.

17
Q

Multiple baseline design

A

A single case design in which the effects of an intervention are recorded across situations behaviors, or individual

18
Q

Alternating treatment design:

A

A single case experimental design in which two or more interventions alternate systematically.
