Begin by describing how single-subject experimental designs are used in behavior analysis to evaluate interventions. Include one reason why single-subject designs are considered superior to group designs in evaluating behavior change. Then, describe your evaluation plan for the intervention plan you selected.

Jimmy's contingency contract- BIP involves the parents implementing the contingency to help their son Jimmy be more consistent in completing his homework (read for 20 minutes per weeknight and practice multiplication for 10 minutes per weeknight). (Maybe duration / permanent product recording for math as a measurement system).

The evaluation plan must include:

• The measurement system you are using to collect data on what specific behavior(s). Include the operational definitions.
• How often you are collecting data
• Who is going to collect that data
• The research design you are using to evaluate your treatment (ABAB design, a multiple baseline design, an alternating treatments design, or a changing criterion design to evaluate a behavior intervention).
• An explanation of why that research design was the best choice
• How the research design would demonstrate functional control of the intervention over the behavior(s).
• Describe how you will know if your treatment was effective - what would a visual analysis of the graphed data show? You do not need a graph, but you should describe what your graph would show if your treatment were effective.
