Abstract

The current article presents a systematic review of consistency in single-case ABAB phase designs. We applied the CONsistency of DAta Patterns (CONDAP) measure to a sample of 460 data sets retrieved from 119 applied studies published over the past 50 years. The main purpose was to (a) identify typical CONDAP values found in published ABAB designs and (b) develop interpretational guidelines for CONDAP to be used for future studies to assess the consistency of data patterns from similar phases. The overall distribution of CONDAP values is right-skewed with several extreme values to the right of the center of the distribution. The B-phase CONDAP values fall within a narrower range than the A-phase CONDAP values. Based on the cumulative distribution of CONDAP values, we offer the following interpretational guidelines in terms of consistency: very high, 0 ≤ CONDAP ≤ 0.5; high, 0.5 < CONDAP ≤ 1; medium, 1 < CONDAP < 1.5; low, 1.5 < CONDAP ≤ 2; very low, CONDAP > 2. We give examples of combining CONDAP benchmarks with visual analysis of single-case ABAB phase designs and conclude that the majority of data patterns (41.2%) in published ABAB phase designs is medium consistent.

单一案例ABAB阶段设计的一致性：系统综述。

本文对单一案例ABAB阶段设计的一致性进行了系统综述。我们将DAta模式的一致性（CONDAP）测量应用于从过去50年发表的119项应用研究中检索的460个数据集的样本。主要目的是（a）确定已发表的ABAB设计中发现的典型CONDAP值，以及（b）为CONDAP制定解释指南，用于未来的研究，以评估类似阶段数据模式的一致性。CONDAP值的总体分布是右偏的，分布中心右侧有几个极值。B相的CONDAP值落在比a相的CONDAP值更窄的范围内。基于CONDAP值的累积分布，我们在一致性方面提供了以下解释指南：非常高，0≤CONDAP≤0.5；高，0.52。我们给出了将CONDAP基准与单一案例ABAB阶段设计的可视化分析相结合的例子，并得出结论，在已发表的ABAB阶段的设计中，大多数数据模式（41.2%）是中等一致的。

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.
