Generality of Findings From Single-Case Designs: It's Not All About the "N"

There is a common misconception in applied research that generalizations from a study to a specific client can only be made with a large sample size. In single-case design research, however, generalizations are made from a line of replication studies rather than from a single large-N study. In this brief tutorial, we summarize how generalizations are made from single-case design research, and provide a model elevator speech to assist behavior analysts in talking about single-case design research with others.
