The Single Subject Research Methodology in Behavioral Sciences

The Single Subject Research Methodology in Behavioral Sciences seminar will focus on the use of single subject research designs in answering applied research questions related to educational and clinical practices. We will encourage educators and therapists to view themselves as "scientist-practitioners" in which they assume an active role in applied research efforts in order to assess the ecological validity of research findings. Specifically, we will discuss baseline logic, the importance of direct and repeated measurement, direct measurement procedures, visual analysis of graphed data, research designs and how each evaluates threats to internal validity, and the importance of systematic replication as a means for extending the generality of any single research investigation. Participants are encouraged to bring research questions that we can discuss.
