Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A multiple baseline design is used to change a behavior in multiple environments by introducing the intervention at different times in each environment. This allows for the observation of changes in the behavior as a result of the intervention in each environment separately, and also helps rule out the possibility of other external factors affecting the behavior. The other designs listed - alternating treatments, withdrawal, and A-B-C-B - generally only involve one environment or condition and are not suitable for changing a behavior in multiple environments.
