AB Design
These three measurement patterns are present in the baseline phase
Stable Line Trend Cycle
Two things we strive for in measurement?
Accuracy and Consistency
This design is more reliable establishment of a relationship between intervention and outcome than in the AB design
ABA Design
These three things are the situations that arise when no pattern is evident
Measures are unreliable
Inconsistencies in reporting
Changes in client's life
This level of measurement includes a zero
Scale
This design allows the researcher to begin with an intervention
BAB Design
Four key characteristics of all measures
Validity Reliability Measurement error Utility
