Suppose the following data were observed for an individual who sought treatment for kleptomania.Using a single-case experiment,the psychologist used "covert sensitization" to treat the stealing behavior across a number of different situations (e.g.,stealing at the grocery store,drug store,discount store).Covert sensitization was applied systematically to each situation.The psychologist concluded that the treatment was very effective for reducing kleptomania.
As shown in the following graphs,an initial baseline period was conducted for each of three situations.The session in which covert sensitization was implemented is indicated with each situation (session 3,6,or 9).The dependent variable is the number of shoplifted items. What is your conclusion about the effectiveness of treatment? Explain your answer.
