Abstract

Visual analysis of single-case research is commonly described as a gold standard, but it is often unreliable. Thus, an objective tool for applying visual analysis is necessary, as an alternative to the Conservative Dual Criterion, which presents some drawbacks. The proposed free web-based tool enables assessing change in trend and level between two adjacent phases, while taking data variability into account. The application of the tool results in (a) a dichotomous decision regarding the presence or absence of an immediate effect, a progressive or delayed effect, or an overall effect and (b) a quantification of overlap. The proposal is evaluated by applying it to both real and simulated data, obtaining favorable results. The visual aid and the objective rules are expected to make visual analysis more consistent, but they are not intended as a substitute for the analysts' judgment, as a formal test of statistical significance, or as a tool for assessing social validity.

包含可视化分析数据特征的可视化辅助和客观规则。
单一案例研究的可视化分析通常被描述为黄金标准,但它往往不可靠。因此,应用视觉分析的客观工具是必要的,作为保守双重标准的替代品,保守双重标准存在一些缺点。拟议的免费网络工具能够评估两个相邻阶段之间的趋势和水平变化,同时考虑到数据的可变性。该工具的应用导致(a)关于是否存在即时效应、渐进效应或延迟效应或整体效应的二分决策,以及(b)重叠的量化。该方案通过将其应用于真实数据和模拟数据进行了评估,获得了良好的结果。视觉辅助和客观规则有望使视觉分析更加一致,但它们并不旨在取代分析师的判断,也不旨在作为统计显著性的正式测试,或作为评估社会有效性的工具。

期刊介绍: For two decades, researchers and practitioners have turned to Behavior Modification for current scholarship on applied behavior modification. Starting in 1995, in addition to keeping you informed on assessment and modification techniques relevant to psychiatric, clinical, education, and rehabilitation settings, Behavior Modification revised and expanded its focus to include treatment manuals and program descriptions. With these features you can follow the process of clinical research and see how it can be applied to your own work. And, with Behavior Modification, successful clinical and administrative experts have an outlet for sharing their solutions in the field.
