Research Design Review Questions

You are correct.

The A-B-A design (baseline-treatment-remove treatment) is the design most closely associated with single-case research. It often will not be appropriate in school psychology and counseling applications because the treatment effects are intended to be more permanent.

Research Design Review Questions

Correct!

Cause-effect and/or functional relationships can be identified with both alternating-treatments and multiple-baseline designs. With the time series you can identify if there is change associated with the treatment, but other potential causative factors are not controlled.

Research Design Review Questions

That is correct. Gathering baseline data is recommended in all single-case studies but is not required in the alternating-treatments design.

You are correct.

The multiple-baseline design actually has three options: same student with different problem, other student with same problem, and same student with same problem in different setting.

Research Design Review Questions

Your answer is not wrong, but the better answer is "c" (both a and b).
