Single target study

by Alan E. Kazdin

Single target studySingle-subject studies play an important role in developing or evaluating intervention methods to improve certain aspects of human functioning. This book has received considerable revision by presenting a very clear comparison between quantitative research methods and single objective research methods widely used in biology and social sciences. This book focuses on widely applied methods for assessing various interventions such as treatment, education, and psychotherapy using applied behavioral analysis, as well as in a wide variety of fields, from psychology and medicine to corporations and industries. By demonstrating its methodological validity, it is expanding the research area of single object design.
