Talk:Single-subject research

experiment
the heading for experiment suffers the usual "big group" bias and has no small-n, single subject entry. When this page is mature I will try to roll it into experiment. --florkle 07:17, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge Possible?
Should we merge this page and Single Subject Design? thanks!Josh.Pritchard.DBA (talk) 17:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Statistical methods
Although the usual "psychological statistics" are not prominent in behavior analysis, they aren't exactly missing either. Statistical methods are occasionally presented in JABA/JEAB articles (I recall seeing someone tabulate it once and it was something like 10% ? iirc). Skinner's Verbal Behavior is also oddly amenable to statistical methods as I recall. I think it may be more ideological correctness to abjure the role of statistics in ABA/EAB. Fwiw. florkle (talk) 02:51, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

extreme small-n 'only appropriate' cut
I am not sure what the message here is. To say "small n is the extreme form of small-n" suggests that it is somehow odd or unnecessary. Also, it implies that the slight misnomer of "single subject" means just one.

Second, the "used where quasi is only appropriate" is wholly incorrect. Small n research designs are used where tight functional relationships are sought out for illumination not because "other (presumably better) methods are unavailable". Small n is powerful and is not a last-ditch or "best fit for the desperate" experimental method. florkle (talk) 03:32, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Merge & Expand Pages
I don't know how to merge this page with Single Subject Design but I think it should be done. I am going to add some additional information (e.g., single subject designs that are widely used but not mentioned here). —Preceding unsigned comment added by JenniferLedford (talk • contribs) 01:45, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
