Applying Single-Subject Research Methodologies

Putting It All Together Over the course of this quarter, you have dissected a scenario including identifying the independent and dependent variables, defining the dependent variable, supporting that the dependent variable is socially valid, describing the measurement system and IOA, and making a standard line graph. This final assignment will be focused on wrapping it all together in a single-subject graph and interpreting the data. Instructions Review the scenario you selected and have been using this quarter. Ensure that you are reading and applying the feedback from previous assignments into this final assignment. In this final assignment, you will make the complete graph that matches the single-subject design for your scenario. Be sure to review the media tutorials for the week that is assigned to your single-subject design, as these walk you through how to make the graph. Once your graph is complete, you will need to interpret your data. Pay specific attention to the level, the trend and variability of the data. Lastly, identify if the data and visual analysis support a functional relationship. Keep in mind that you are making up the data, so you can make your data look like there is a big difference or not, just be sure to make it realistic, match your scenario, and interpret it correctly.
