Multiple Baseline Designs

Question 1

Determine a Functional Relation

Answer 1

Prediction
Verification
Replication

Question 2

Multiple Baseline Design

Answer 2

Most Widely Used Design (Subjects)
Highly Flexible
Staggered, step-wise fashion
Across Behaviors, Settings, Subjects
Do not need to withdraw

Question 3

Multiple Probe

Answer 3

Relation between IV and acquisition skill sequence

Question 4

Delayed Multiple Baseline

Answer 4

Initial baseline and intervention begin and subsequent baselines are added in a delayed staggered fashion.
Effective when:
reversal design is not possible
limited resources
new bx, subject, or setting becomes available
LIMITATIONS:
Shorter baselines do not show interdependence of DVs

Question 5

Advantages for Multiple Baseline

Answer 5

Successful Intervention does not need to be removed
Evaluates generalization
Easy to implement

Question 6

Disadvantages for Multiple Baseline

Answer 6

Functional Relation not directly shown
IV may be delayed
Takes resources to implement properly
