Adapted Alternating Treatment Design: Methodological Study

At the recent Mid-South Regional Conference for Psychology in the Schools, Gini McClurg, pictured, presented on a study that examined a methodological issue with a specific single-subject research design.

The researchers explored methodological issues with the Alternating Treatment Design; specifically threats to internal validity. They determined that an adapted version would address the noted threats to internal validity by including a no-treatment phase.

Other results and implications are outlined in the linked poster. For other information about the study please contact either Gini McClurg (vjacobs@vols.utk.edu) or her faculty advisor, Dr. Chris Skinner (cskinne1@utk.edu) or Dr. MariBeth Coleman (mbc@utk.edu).
