Single-subject methodology remains useful in behavior therapy for assessing generalization, maintenance, and treatment components. Extensions of existing designs offer powerful strategies for researchers, though they may not bridge the researcher-practitioner gap.

Area of Science:

  • Behavior Therapy Research
  • Single-Subject Research Methodology

Background:

  • Doubts exist regarding the continued utility of single-subject methodology in behavior therapy.
  • Key issues include assessing generalization, maintenance, and identifying active treatment components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the continued relevance and power of single-subject methodology.
  • To address doubts about its ability to tackle contemporary issues in behavior therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizes extensions of established single-subject designs (reversal, multiple baseline, alternating-treatments).
  • Incorporates continuous measures for generalization assessment and maintenance procedures for maintenance assessment.
  • Employs aggregation of findings from multiple studies for component identification; traditional group designs are an alternative.

Main Results:

  • Single-subject researchers possess powerful strategies for investigating generalization and maintenance.
  • Extensions of designs effectively allow for the assessment of generalization, maintenance, and treatment components.
  • Traditional group designs serve as a fallback when single-subject design requirements cannot be met.

Conclusions:

  • Single-subject methodology is far from obsolete and offers robust tools for behavior therapy research.
  • The described strategies are primarily suited for researchers, not necessarily for bridging the researcher-practitioner gap or creating empirical clinicians.
