A researcher studying a student's disruptive behavior observes that the frequency of the behavior increases steadily every day during the baseline phase. Once a reward system is introduced, the behavior begins to decrease steadily each day. Which aspect of visual inspection has shifted in this scenario?

Match each research scenario with the specific type of trend (or lack thereof) it demonstrates during the visual inspection of single-subject research data.

A researcher is analyzing data from a single-subject study to determine if a treatment was effective. Arrange the logical steps required to perform a visual inspection of the trend to determine if the intervention changed the behavior's trajectory.

A researcher is justified in evaluating an intervention as the cause of a behavior's reduction if that behavior was already decreasing during the baseline phase and continues to decrease at the identical rate after the intervention is introduced.

In single-subject research, which of the following observations during visual inspection would most likely indicate a treatment effect based on 'trend'?

Match each term related to visual inspection in single-subject research with the specific data pattern it describes.

In visual inspection of single-subject research, the gradual, continuous increase or decrease in the dependent variable across sequential observations is known as _____.
