Functional assessment-based interventions for students with or at-risk for high incidence disabilities: Field-testing single-case synthesis methods

This systematic review investigated one systematic approach to designing, implementing, and evaluating functional assessment–based interventions (FABI) for use in supporting school-age students with or at-risk for high-incidence disabilities. We …

Research synthesis and meta-analysis of single-case designs

New working paper: Procedural sensitivities of SCD effect sizes

I’ve just posted a new version of my working paper, Procedural sensitivities of effect sizes for single-case designs with behavioral outcome measures. The abstract is below. This version is a major update of an earlier paper that focused only on the non-overlap measures.

Measurement-comparable effect sizes for single-case studies of free-operant behavior

Single-case research comprises a set of designs and methods for evaluating the effects of interventions, practices, or programs on individual cases, through comparison of outcomes measured at different points in time. Although there has long been …

Four methods for analyzing partial interval recording data, with application to single-case research

Partial interval recording (PIR) is a procedure for collecting measurements during direct observation of behavior. It is used in several areas of educational and psychological research, particularly in connection with single-case research. …

New article: Measurement-comparable effect sizes for single-case studies of free-operant behavior

My article “Measurement-comparable effect sizes for single-case studies of free-operant behavior” has been accepted at Psychological Methods. Postprint and supporting materials are available. Here’s the abstract: Single-case research comprises a set of designs and methods for evaluating the effects of interventions, practices, or programs on individual cases, through comparison of outcomes measured at different points in time.

Operationally comparable effect sizes for meta-analysis of single-case research

This thesis studies quantitative methods for summarizing and synthesizing single-case studies, a class of research designs for evaluating the effects of interventions through repeated measurement of individuals. Despite long-standing interest in meta-analytic synthesis of single-case research, there remains a lack of consensus about appropriate methods, even about the most basic question of what effect size metrics are useful and appropriate.
