Introduction Review Questions
You are correct.Replication is usually easier with single-case designs because they can be integrated into regular school activities.
Visual analysis is not typically associated with group research designs, and some single-case designs do allow for cause-effect inferences.

Introduction Review Questions
You are correct.External validity is concerned with the extent to which findings can be generalized to other persons. In single-case research studies this is primarily done through replication.
Internal validity deals mostly with experimental control, especially of extraneous variables.

Introduction Review Questions
No, the fact that the person usually serves as her/his own control through gathering of baseline data makes it usually easier to control extraneous variables in single-case designs._________________________________________________________________________
