Identifying Generalized Behavior Change in Single-Subject Studies: Generalization and Maintenance Objective: You will be able to identify if and how generalized behavior gains are evaluated in 4 single-subject experimental design (SSED) studies. STEP 1: Review this basic definition and rationale RATIONALE: A behavior change maybe said to have generality if it proves durable overtime, If it appears in a wide variety of possible environments, or if it spreads to avoid variety of related behaviors (Baer, Wolf, and Risley, 1968). That is, the most socially significant behavior changes last overtime, are used in all relevant settings and situations, and are accompanied by other functionally related responses (Cooper, Heron, and Heward, 2020) Thus, this exercise provides steps to evaluate the merit of SSED studies with regard to generalize behavior change across:
