“…The present study employed an A-B-A' withdrawal design (Byiers et al 2012;Tate et al 2016). Phase changes were marked using the following criteria: (i) A-B occurred when all measurements for phase A had been obtained; (ii) B-A' occurred when the intervention was complete; and (iii) phase A' occurred with data collection three months after treatment ended.…”

Research examining Internet Gaming Disorder (IGD) has grown markedly in recent years. However, research on its psychological treatment is still scarce, especially with respect to efficacy of specific programs. The PIPATIC (Programa Individualizado Psicoterapéutico para la Adicción a las Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación) program is a 22-session specialized treatment for adolescents with IGD. The present paper briefly outlines the cases of four treatment-seeking male adolescents aged between 13 and 18 years with different clinical IGD profiles undergoing the treatment. A case study using an A-B-A' withdrawal design was conducted. After completing the PIPATIC program, all participants showed clinical improvement in the amount of time spent using video games and in the symptoms of IGD. Results also demonstrated https://doi.org/10.1007/s11469-017-9845-9 they received lower scores on clinical tests related to comorbid disorders. In an area with so few studies relating to IGD treatment, the present study is of existential value and contributes clinical information concerning the treatment of IGD in treatment-seeking adolescent patients.

“…Perhaps more controversially they also classify AB designs (where multiple measurements are taken during a baseline and then during an intervention phase) as not being SCEDs, as others have done previously (e.g. Barlow, Nock, & Hersen, 2009;Byiers, Reichle, & Symons FJ, 2012).…”

This paper introduces the Special Issue of Neuropsychological Rehabilitation on Single CaseExperimental Design (SCED) methodology. SCED studies have a long history of use in evaluating behavioural and psychological interventions, but in recent years there has been a resurgence of interest in SCED methodology, driven in part by the development of standards for conducting and reporting SCED studies. Although there is consensus on some aspects of SCED methodology, the question of how SCED data should be analysed remains unresolved.This Special Issues includes two papers discussing aspects of conducting SCED studies, five papers illustrating use of SCED methodology in clinical practice, and nine papers that present different methods of SCED data analysis. A final Discussion paper summarises points of agreement, highlights areas where further clarity is needed, and ends with a set of resources that will assist researchers conduct and analyse SCED studies.3

“…With respect to the experimental design, the assumptions and setup of the multiple baseline have been described in detail elsewhere (Byiers et al, 2012;Gast, 2010;Hersen & Barlow, 1976;Kratochwill, 1978;McReynolds & Kearns, 1983), but briefly, a no-treatment phase is followed by a treatment phase. The no-treatment phase documents baseline performance prior to treatment with the number of baseline samples increasing as successive children enroll in a given experimental condition.…”

“…Moreover, singlesubject design affords the flexibility to modify treatment to accommodate individual differences in learning as in the clinical setting. Despite these and other advantages (Byiers, Reichle, & Symons, 2012), single-subject design has yet to provide opportunities for meta-analyses of treatment efficacy. Meta-analyses are considered the gold standard because they provide for statistical cross-comparisons of multiple studies to establish treatment efficacy and thereby inform evidence-based practice (Dollaghan, 2007;see Law, Garrett, & Nye, 2004, specific to phonological treatment).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to document, validate, and corroborate effect size (ES) for single-subject design in treatment of children with functional phonological disorders; to evaluate potential child-specific contributing variables relative to ES; and to establish benchmarks for interpretation of ES for the population. Method Data were extracted from the Developmental Phonologies Archive for 135 preschool children with phonological disorders who previously participated in single-subject experimental treatment studies. Standard mean difference all with correction for continuity was computed to gauge the magnitude of generalization gain that accrued longitudinally from treatment for each child with the data aggregated for purposes of statistical analyses. Results ES ranged from 0.09 to 27.83 for the study population. ES was positively correlated with conventional measures of phonological learning and visual inspection of learning data on the basis of procedures standard to single-subject design. ES was linked to children's performance on diagnostic assessments of phonology but not other demographic characteristics or related linguistic skills and nonlinguistic skills. Benchmarks for interpretation of ES were estimated as 1.4, 3.6, and 10.1 for small, medium, and large learning effects, respectively. Conclusion Findings have utility for single-subject research and translation of research to evidence-based practice for children with phonological disorders.
