  1. Single Subject Research: A Synthesis of Analytic Methods

    Keywords: Single Subject Research, Visual Inspection, Nonoverlap Methods, Quantitative Research Synthesis . Single subject research is an experimental design that strives to record relationships between independent and dependent variables (Gast, 2010; Kennedy, 2005). Each participant serves as both the control and the experimental condition by

  2. Single Subject Research: A Synthesis of Analytic Methods

    Single Subject Research: A Synthesis of Analytic Methods. The different techniques compared are compared, the benefits of utilizing these techniques in addition to visual inspection, the limitations of each technique being reviewed, and evidence for combining traditional statistical measures with visual inspection. Expand.

  3. Single Subject Research: A Synthesis of Analytic Methods

    Historically, the synthesis of single subject design has employed visual inspection to yield significance of results. However, current research is supporting different techniques that will facilitate the interpretation of these intervention outcomes. These methods can provide more reliable data than employing visual inspection in isolation.

  7. The Quantitative Synthesis of Single-Subject Research:

    This article describes procedures recently employed for the quantitative synthesis of single-subject research literature in special education. First, the need for objective, systematic review procedures is discussed. Second, previous approaches for quantitative evaluation of outcomes of single-case research designs are reviewed.

  8. Overview of the Single Subject Design

    R.A. Fisher, though most often associated with multiple-subject designs, first introduced a single-subject (clinical trial of N-of-1) experimental paradigm in 1945 [1]. Since this introduction, the single subject design has been used most frequently within the social and educational sciences [2]. This design, however, has recently been applied ...

  10. Summarizing Single-Subject Research: Issues and Applications

    In this article, literature concerning the quantitative synthesis (meta-analysis) of single-subject research literature is reviewed. First, the general rationale for such an approach is discussed. Next, procedures for synthesizing single-subject literature are described, followed by comments and critiques of those procedures.

  11. 10.1 Overview of Single-Subject Research

    Key Takeaways. Single-subject research—which involves testing a small number of participants and focusing intensively on the behavior of each individual—is an important alternative to group research in psychology. Single-subject studies must be distinguished from case studies, in which an individual case is described in detail.

  15. Single-Subject Experimental Design for Evidence-Based Practice

    Single-subject experimental designs (SSEDs) represent an important tool in the development and implementation of evidence-based practice in communication sciences and disorders. The purpose of this article is to review the strategies and tactics of SSEDs and their application in speech-language pathology research.

  20. The Single-Case Reporting Guideline In BEhavioural Interventions

    Single-case experimental design (SCED) studies in the behavioral sciences literature are not only common, but their proportion has also increased over past decades. Moreover, methodological complexity of SCEDs and sophistication in the techniques used to analyze SCED data has increased apace. Yet recent reviews of the behavioral sciences literature have shown that reporting of SCED research is ...
