Comparative Single-Subject Research: Description of Designs and Discussion of Problems.
Holcombe, Ariane; And Others
Topics in Early Childhood Special Education, v14 n1 p119-45 Spr 1994
This article describes four single-subject research designs comparing two or more interventions with young disabled children--the multitreatment design, alternating treatments design, adapted alternating treatments design, and parallel treatments design. Problems in using these designs include multitreatment interference, nonreversibility of some socially important behaviors, and the need to separate the effects of each treatment. (Author/JDD)
