The notion that reversal may be undesirable or unobtainable is a limitation of this design.
What is a reversal replication design?
Two observers record the DV independently and then compare assessments after the session to ensure records of the athletes’ behaviour are accurate.
What is an interobserver reliability assessment?
This is the variable that is being measured, or the "effect".
What is the dependant variable?
Two observers regularly assess whether or not the treatment was applied as outlined by the checklist of critical components of the treatment.
This design is where multiple behaviours are observed and treated in one individual. Behaviours are observed in baseline sessions, then the staggering of treatment
What is a multiple-baseline design across behaviours?
Requiring continuous measurement of the DV, not having a control group, and relying on visual analysis of data are distinguishable characteristics of this design.
What is a single-subject design?
This describes that the IV was actually what was influencing the DV.
What is internal validity?
These three features of single-subject designs make them user-friendly.
What are requiring a small amount of subjects, continuous monitoring, and the inclusion of baseline and treatment conditions?
Behaviour possibly only occurring in one situation is a limitation to this design.
What is a multiple-baseline design across situations?
One group receives the treatment and the other (the control group) does not. The results are compared to see if the treatment was effective.
What is the strategy of a control-group experiment?
Assuming the observed behaviours are independent from each other is a limitation of this research design.
What is a multiple-baseline design across behaviours?
If only one treatment is applied, the effects may be different when multiple treatments are alternated.
What is a limitation of the alternating-treatments design?
This research design involves the recording of baseline data across all subjects and treatment being introduced to each subject at varying times.
What is a multiple-baseline design across people?
Dividing the smaller total of one observer by the larger total of the other and multiply by 100% is a common strategy for this.
What is computing an IOR score?
These are the factors that ensure an effect has been observed in single-subject data.
Focusing on the average performance of groups at a particular time, like pre/post-test rather than continuous monitoring, is a limitation of which methodology for sport psychology research.
What is control-group?
The first subject explaining the treatment to other participants is a potential limitation of this design.
What is the multiple-baseline design across people?
Aiming to evaluate the effect of an IV and DV, requiring inter-observer reliability, and requiring procedural reliability assessments are commonalities of these two designs.
What are between-group and single-subject designs?
This is the variable being manipulated or controlled, or the "cause".
What is the independent variable?
A behaviour is measured during 2+ alternating treatments.
What is an alternating-treatments design?
Baseline phase: performance is monitored pre-treatment
Treatment phase: used self-monitoring and feedback treatments
Reversal to baseline phase: treatment is withdrawn to detect uncontrolled for variables
Replication of treatment phase: treatment is applied again
What are the four components of the reversal replication design?
An advantage of an alternating-treatments design over others is that less effective treatments can be eliminated early because of this reason.
What is because it is quickly compared to other treatments?
A research ddesign in which a single behaviour is observed/treated across multiple scenarios.
What is a multiple-baseline design across situations?
Include IOR assessments, ensures the treatment was applied as intended, require repeated measurement of the DV throughout the study, all subjects are studied under all conditions (no control groups), and reliance on visual inspection to assess effects of treatments. These are all characteristics of this.
What is a single-subject research design?
Having this means a finding is generalizable to other behaviours, subjects, and situations.
What is external validity?
