Given this scenario, how might an A-B design be used?
What is one drawback of the A-B design?
Given this scenario, how might you employ an A-B-A-B design?
What is one benefit of the A-B-A-B design in this case compared to the A-B design? What is one drawback? How might you modify the design to combat the drawback?
Given this scenario, let’s assume that you have two possible treatments that you would like to use with Ruth. What single-subjects design would allow you to try both treatments?
Briefly describe how this design could be implemented.
What is one drawback of the design you selected above?
