PSYB01H3 Lecture Notes - Lecture 10: Dependent And Independent Variables, Cerebral Cortex, Interrupted Time Series
Document Summary
Describe single case experimental designs and discuss reasons to use this design. Describe the five types of evaluations involved in program evaluation research: needs assessment, program assessment, process evaluation, outcome evaluation, and efficiency assessment. Describe the one-group pretest-posttest design and the associated threats to internal validity that may occur: history, maturation, testing, instrument decay, and regression toward the mean. Describe the nonequivalent control group design and nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design, and discuss the advantages of having a control group. Distinguish between the interrupted time series design and control series design. Describe cross-sectional, longitudinal, and sequential research designs, including the advantages and disadvantages of each design. Examines the dependent variable over an extended period of time, both before and after the iv is implemented. Improves interrupted time series design by finding an appropriate control group . Involves finding a similar population that did not receive a particular manipulation. Limited because this is not a true control group .
