Kazdin, A.E. (2021). Single-case research designs: Methods for clinical and applied settings. New York: Oxford University Press.

1. Describe each of the five variations of the multiple-baseline design mentioned by Kazdin in this chapter. Define, describe, and provide an example of each

Design variation Definition Description Example 

Multiple baseline across individuals  

Multiple baseline across situations, setting, or time  

Concurrent and non-concurrent baseline  

Number of baseline  

Partial applications of the intervention  

2. In summary, multiple-baseline designs demonstrate the effects of an intervention by presenting the intervention to each of several different ______________ at different points in ___________. A clear effect is evident if ___________________________________________________________________________.

3.Several different variations of the design exist, depending primarily whether the multiple-baseline data are collected across ________________, __________________, ______________, ______________ or _______________________.
