TLDR
Three design options potentially useful for the investigation of response maintenance are discussed, including the sequential-withdrawal, partial-with withdrawal, and the partial-sequential withdrawal designs.Abstract:
Single-case experimental designs have advanced considerably in the evaluation of functional relationships between interventions and behavior change. The systematic investigation of response maintenance once intervention effects have been demonstrated has, however, received relatively little attention. The lack of research on maintenance may stem in part from the paucity of design options that systematically evaluate factors that contribute to maintenance. The present paper discusses three design options potentially useful for the investigation of response maintenance. These include: (a) the sequential-withdrawal, (b) the partial-withdrawal, and (c) the partial-sequential withdrawal designs. Each design is illustrated and potential limitations are discussed.read more

Response to Intervention Empirically Based Special Service Decisions From Single-Case Designs of Increasing and Decreasing Intensity
TL;DR: In this article, single-case designs that focus on intervention response and intensity are reviewed as a potential evaluation framework for interdisciplinary teams to help answer special services resource questions, and advantages and challenges associated with these designs for use in special education eligibility decisions are discussed as models for child evaluation in schools.

Differential effects of self‐monitoring attention, accuracy, and productivity
TL;DR: Effects of self-monitoring on-task behavior, academic productivity, and academic accuracy were assessed with 6 elementary-school students with learning disabilities in their general education classroom using a mathematics task.

A participative management approach for improving direct‐care staff performance in an institutional setting
TL;DR: Results indicated that during the participative management program there was an increase in staff interactions that were contingent on appropriate resident behavior, and the increase in this type of staff interaction was accompanied by a increase in appropriate residents behavior.

The maintenance of behavior change as an indicator of social validity.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the degree to which obtained treatment gains maintain across time within natural contexts be considered as a primary indicator of social validity.

TL;DR: This article describes and illustrates with two case studies a relatively novel form of the multiple-baseline design called the changing criterion design, and suggests target behaviors and circumstances for which the design might be useful.
