Q

This type of experimental design allows researchers to closely examine specific changes in each participant. Each participant serves as their own control (i.e., compared to themselves) and researchers measure the outcome or dependent variable repeatedly across phases (e.g., baseline phase, intervention phase, withdrawal phase).

A

Single-subject designs

17
Q

The extent to which a measurement instrument yields consistent, stable, and uniform results over repeated observations or measurements under the same conditions each time

A

Reliability

18
Q

A summary of the scientific literature in which explicit methods are used to perform a comprehensive search and critical appraisal of individual studies

A

Systematic review

19
Q

The degree to which a measurement, an inference, or a conclusion is likely to be true and free of systematic error

A

Validity

20
Q

What is a systematic process (scientific method) to collect data for new knowledge that will add to the generalizable knowledge of the public?

A

Research

21
Q

A systematic process where you start with an observation, ask a question, make a hypothesis, plan experimental design/protocol, collect data, analyze data, make a conclusion, publish/present results, implement an intervention.

A

Scientific method

22
Q

What is the research process?

A

Research proposal -> research experiment -> conclusion and present/publish findings

23
Q

What is included in EBP?

A
  1. clinical expertise
  2. evidence (internal and external)
  3. client perspective
24
Q

Evidence gathered systematically from the client/patient during sessions

A

internal evidence

25
Q

Evidence gathered from the scientific community (i.e., articles)

A

External evidence

26
Q

________ requires EBP

A

ASHA

27
Q

What are the process of EBP?

A
  1. Frame clinical question
