Area of Science:

  • Applied psychology
  • Behavioral research methodology

Background:

  • Within-subject research designs face challenges like behavior nonreversibility and treatment interference.
  • Repeated stimulus presentation can cause practice or habituation effects.
  • Existing methods may not adequately address nonacademic skill research needs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a procedure for estimating equivalent difficulty for vocational preparation tasks.
  • To address issues in within-subject comparisons of multiple treatment effects for applied researchers.
  • To support research on domestic, vocational, and other nonacademic skills.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a procedure for estimating equivalent difficulty.
  • Utilizing item cohorts with equivalent behavioral difficulty.
