Peltier, Corey; McKenna, John W.; Sinclair, Tracy E.; Garwood, Justin; Vannest, Kimberly J. – Behavioral Disorders, 2022
Single-case experimental designs (SCEDs) are frequently used to evaluate whether a functional relation exists between interventions and student outcomes. A critical factor in decision making is the evaluation of graphical data, typically displayed in time-series graphs. Distortion in the graphical display of data can lead to invalid decisions on…

Rakap, Salih; Snyder, Patricia; Pasia, Cathleen – Behavioral Disorders, 2014
Debate is occurring about which result interpretation aides focused on examining the experimental effect should be used in single-subject experimental research.

Right Reason in the Integration of Group and Single-Subject Research in Behavioral Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kavale, Kenneth A.; Mathur, Sarup R.; Forness, Steven R.; Quinn, Mary Magee; Rutherford, Robert B., Jr. – Behavioral Disorders, 2000
In this discussion of quantitative research synthesis, past criticisms of meta-analysis are reviewed along with the ways they have been addressed. Objections to single-subject synthesis methods are discussed, along with the advantages of using the percentage-of- nonoverlapping-data metric. The article concludes by questioning the veracity of…
