In this article we respond to the recent recommendation of Slocum et al. (2022), who provided conceptual and methodological recommendations for reconsidering the credibility and validity of the nonconcurrent multiple-baseline design. We build on these recommendations and offer replication and randomization upgrades that should further improve the status of the nonconcurrent version of the design in standards and single-case design research. Although we suggest that the nonconcurrent version should be an acceptable methodological option for single-case design researchers, the traditional concurrent multiple-baseline design should generally be the design of choice.
在本文中,我们回应了斯洛克姆等人(2022年)最近的建议,他们为重新审视非同期多基线设计的可信度和有效性提供了概念和方法上的建议。我们基于这些建议进行拓展,并提供复制和随机化方面的改进措施,这应该会进一步提升该设计的非同期版本在标准和单案例设计研究中的地位。尽管我们认为非同期版本对于单案例设计研究人员来说应该是一个可接受的方法选项,但传统的同期多基线设计通常仍应是首选设计。
