Document Summary
What is the difference between withdrawal and reversal. Answer designs that use only one participant or a single group of individuals to investigate the influence of a treatment. Ebbinghaus: used himself as a subject for studies on memory. Laid out the foundation for conducting and analyzing multiple participant experiments. The hypothetical situation that would have occurred had the participants not been given a treatment. To make sure that the baselines is stable before administering the treatment. A single-case design in which the response to the treatment condition is compared to baseline responses recorded before and after treatment. It does not leave the patient in a treated condition. A study conducted with disruptive 9- year-olds. Reinforcement was used to reduce disruptive behaviour but when reinforcement was removed, the behaviour returned to baseline. Reversal: a design in which the treatment is applied to an alternative but incompatible behaviour so that a reversal behaviour is produced.
