Two issues in Single Subject Design
What is 'has there been any change in the area of concern' and 'is there a functional relationship between the intervention and the observed change?'
100
Overt behavior
What is 'People know that they are being observed.'
100
What Validity measures
What is the accuracy of the instrument.
100
Categories of perceptions or experiences, or groupings of objects and events.
What is concepts.

Three conditions needed to call a relationship causal
What is 'a relationship must exist between the two variables,' 'the relationship must be non- spurious,' and 'there should be a time interval between the independent variable and the dependent one.'
200
Covert behaviors
What is 'concealed, people do not know they are observed.'
200
when researchers simply look at items included in an instrument and give their opinion that the item appears accurate.
What is Face validity
200
Assigns meaning to a variable in terms of the operations necessary to measure it in any concrete situations.
What is operational definitions
