There is a common misconception in applied research that generalizations from a study to a specific client can only be made with a large sample size. In single-case design research, however, generalizations are made from a line of replication studies rather than from a single large- study. In this brief tutorial, we summarize how generalizations are made from single-case design research, and provide a model elevator speech to assist behavior analysts in talking about single-case design research with others.
在应用研究中存在一种常见的误解,即只有通过大样本量才能将一项研究的结论推广到特定客户身上。然而,在单案例设计研究中,推广是基于一系列重复研究,而非单个大型研究。在本简短教程中,我们总结了如何从单案例设计研究中进行推广,并提供了一个范例电梯演讲,以帮助行为分析师与他人谈论单案例设计研究。
