Single Case Design
You are to pick a behavior that you want to start, stop, increase or decrease. You must decide how you will operationalize that behavior. In other words, how can you measure it? I have started a forum discussion where your classmates and I can help you decided on how to measure your target behavior.
You also need to decide on an intervention. In other words, something you will do differently, besides the behavior itself, in an effort to change the actual behavior.
For the first 3 days of the study, you will only record the behavior without making any attempts to change it.
Beginning on day four, you will implement the intervention you have selected and
then continue to make a daily recording of the behavior for 11 more days so that you will have 14 days of data.
graph your data in Excel.
In addition to a table showing the data and a graph of the data, you will need to write a double-spaced paragraph or two about: (1) what behavior you were trying to change; (2) how you measured it; (3) what method you used to keep a record of your data; (4 & 5) what intervention you developed & why; (6) what the outcome was; (7) your interpretation of the data; (8, 9 & 10) and at least three things you learned from this assignment.
