IES SUMMER RESEARCH INSTITUTE:SINGLE-CASE INTERVENTION DESIGN AND ANALYSIS

Day 28:45-10:15Rob Horner

Overview of Complex and UniqueSingle-case Designs

Complex Designs

Goals and Assumptions

• Assumption: • Fluent with ABAB, Multiple Baseline and

Alternating Treatment Designs

• Objectives• Define features of Changing Criterion, and

Multiple-Probe Designs

• Apply Single-case Design and Analysis logic to construction of more complex design challenges.

Defining Features of Changing Criterion Designs• Within subject analysis• Independent variable needs to have at least four levels

• Three demonstrations of effect

• Document baseline performance with first IV level• Change the level of the IV and monitor change in DV

• Immediacy of change important• Absence of trend and variability important

• Repeat level (criterion) change in IV two more times.• Analysis involves same standard as other single-case

designs: Three demonstrations of effect across three different points in time.

First Demonstration of Effect

Second Demonstration of Effect

Third Demonstration of Effect

Research Question: Is there a functional relation between contingent delivery of reinforcement for reduced problems behavior and reduction in the level of problem behavior?

Changing Criterion Analysis: 1. Stable within phase patterns 3. Five data points per phase2. Immediacy of effect

Would you use a Changing Criterion Design?If “yes” draw the design with expected data.

• Is there a functional relation between defining self-management criteria for smoking (20, 15, 10, 5) and reduction in the number of cigarettes smoked per day?

• Is there a functional relation between number of pages of reading needed to achieve free time, and the number of words read per reading session?

• Is there a functional relation between use of FCT and reduction in the level of problem behavior?

• Is there a functional relation between use of Ritalin versus Risperdal, and reduction in rate of stereotypy?

Activity:

• Propose a new research question that would be appropriately addressed via a changing criterion design

• Propose a research question that would NOT be appropriately addressed via a changing criterion design

MULTIPLE PROBE DESIGNS

Multiple Probe Design: A Variation of Multiple Baseline

• Multiple Probe Design:• A variation of the Multiple Baseline Design in

which baseline data are probed at different points in time rather than monitored continuously.

• Probe Data are always collected at the beginning of BL and just before Intervention.

• Probe Data may also be collected at points of intervention in other series within the design.

Conditions when Multiple-probe is Used

• Data collection is viewed as intrusive/expensive, and initial Baseline data document a stable pattern.

Standards for Multiple-Probe

• Meet Single Subject Design Standards• 5 BL data points• Active manipulation of IV• At least three demonstrations of effect

Considerations for Multiple Probe

• Decreases the logical and fiscal cost of data collection across long Baselines.

• Should NOT be viewed as a strong control for measurement effects (Instrumentation… number of times participant experiences measurement).

• Number of data points per “probe”• WWC standard• Issues for consideration in the field

Increasing Complexity in Single-Case Designs

For each study

• Define the research question(s)

• Determine if the design allows assessment of functional relation

• Determine if the data within the design document a functional relation (per research question)

FUNCTION-BASE SUPPORT BY TYPICAL SCHOOL BEHAVIOR SUPPORT TEAMS

Melissa K. BergstromUniversity of Oregon

Research Questions

• Is there a functional relation between implementation of function-based support by independent school teams and reduction in the level of student problem behavior?

• Are the hypothesis statements developed by school teams valid?

• Is function-based support in the school context feasible (i.e. acceptable, efficient, completed with integrity)?

USING FCT TO ACHIEVE GENERALIZED REDUCTION OF PROBLEM BEHAVIOR

Holly Reed Schindler and Rob Horner

Three Research Questions

Main Research Question• Is there a functional relationship between reduction in the

level of problem behavior in the secondary settings and implementation of a Trans-situational Intervention (TSI)?

Additional Research Questions2) Is there a functional relationship between reduction in

level of problem behavior in the primary implementation setting and implementation of a TSI?

3) Are TSI procedures rated as efficient and socially acceptable?

Critical Features of Design

• Document problem behavior in primary setting during Baseline.

• Document problem behavior in secondary settings with introduction of low effort intervention.

• (Low Effort alone is ineffective)

• Document that introduction of Intervention in primary setting is associated with:

• Reduction of problem behavior in primary setting • No change in problem behavior in secondary settings

• (TSI alone does not produce change in secondary settings)

• Document that introduction of TSI + Low Effort is associated with reduction of problem behavior in secondary settings.

Study 1: Independent Variable- Check-in & Check-out Intervention • Based on Hawken & Horner’s (2003) model• Participants carried behavior cards throughout the day.• Teachers assessed points after each time block.• Points were added up at the end of the day. If participants

earned a certain percentage of points (range, 70% to 90%) the whole class earned a reward (e.g., extra recess, class game).

• Intervention included frequent and regular opportunities for feedback

• Non-function based group intervention

Fidelity of First Step to Success Implementation

Billie Jo RodriguezSheldon LomanRob Horner

Research Question

• The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of incorporating a specific performance feedback procedure (coach-provided feedback to teacher) within the design of FSS intervention protocols. The primary research question asked if there was a functional relation between the implementation of coach-provided performance feedback package and level of teacher fidelity in implementation of FSS. A secondary research question focused on the relation between teacher fidelity of FSS implementation and sustained reduction in level of student problem behavior.

1. Is there a functional relation between CF and change in problem behavior?

2. Is there a functional relation between CF and FSS (card) fidelity?

THE EFFICACY OF TRAINING SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO BUILD BEHAVIORAL INTERVENTIONS FROM FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

Kathleen Strickland-Cohen

Building Local Behavioral Capacity

• Two Main Ideas

• Behavior support is more effective and efficient when it is built from an FBA.

• Functional behavioral assessments can be done accurately and efficiently by typical building personnel for “BASIC” problems.

Question of Interest• Is there a functional relation between implementation of a

behavior support plan by a Team Lead who has received Basic BSP Development training, and reduction in the level of problem behavior by students?
